OpenVolo
OpenVolo is a contact book and posting helper for X, LinkedIn, and Gmail, and it all runs on your own computer. It pulls your followers, connections, and email contacts into one list, then helps you reach out, draft messages, and keep track of who is who. Your contacts and your drafts stay on your machine.
One list, no duplicates
Connect X, LinkedIn, and Gmail once each, and OpenVolo gathers your people into a single list. If the same person shows up on more than one network, it spots that and keeps one clean entry instead of three. Each contact gets a simple score that tells you how complete their details are.
AI that drafts and reshapes
Ask the built-in helper for a draft and it writes one for you, in your voice, ready to edit. Wrote it for X but want to post it to LinkedIn too? One click reshapes it to fit the longer format. The helper can also sort and search your contacts when you ask it in plain words.
Set it and let it run
OpenVolo can run small jobs for you on a schedule, like keeping contacts fresh or finding new people to follow, so the busywork happens on its own. Everything sits in a small database on your machine, and your logins are kept locked away.

Story
Building in public
Every story here, every number and honest miss, I put out in public on purpose. This is why I build in the open, and how you can help shape what comes next.
