For owner-operated service businesses

Stay with people,
not paperwork.

Your whole front desk wired onto your own Gmail, calendar, billing, and phone — staged each morning so you only approve.

Nothing sends, books, or charges without your tap. Read-only preview first — zero risk to current clients.

Most tools either only touch email or take the wheel without asking.

Front Steward connects the tools you already pay for and puts one calm approval gate in front of everything.

Front StewardYour tools, your sign-off
Wires your real Gmail, calendar, Stripe/QuickBooks, and phone into one 7:45 AM Morning Approve Pack.
Nothing goes out without your tap. After setup, you self-run with $0/mo to us.

Three steps to clear the desk before 8 AM.

Start with a read-only preview so you see real drafts from your own accounts before anything can send.

Step 1 · Wire

Connect the accounts you already use

Gmail or Outlook, Google or Outlook Calendar, Stripe or QuickBooks, and phone — inside your own workspace so you keep every login.

Step 2 · Dry-run

Preview a read-only pack first

Start with a free 48-hour preview (and a full 7-day human-QA dry-run during setup). Zero outbound messages until you say go.

Step 3 · Approve mornings

Review once at 7:45 AM, then go work

Tap approve on the calls, reschedules, and invoice follow-ups you want sent. Optional voice walk-through from the truck (first 25 pilots free).

When you’re ready.
