Who it is for

You are the one writing the DMs.

Indie and early founders doing personal outreach for first customers. You do not need a sales team, a pipeline, or another seat. You need a short list of real people and a way not to lose them.

Built for

  • Indie and early founders doing their own outreach
  • First customers found on X, Product Hunt or Reddit
  • People who want to sound like themselves

Not for

  • Sales teams that need seats and pipelines
  • Anyone who wants a bot to send for them
  • Buying a list of emails

What it does, and does not

It finds. You talk.

It does

  • Browse as you, in the Chrome you are already signed into
  • Save names, handles, links and notes on your machine
  • Hand you a short list of who to message today

It does not

  • Write or send DMs, comments, or emails
  • Run outreach while you are away
  • Upload your list to a company server

There is no auto-DM, no sequence that fires while you are away, and no plan to add one. The message is yours, typed by you, sent by you.

Install the extension

Free, local, no account. No build step required. Download the zip, unzip it, then load the folder in Chrome.

Download Founder CRM
  1. 1Unzip the downloaded file. You will get a folder called founder-crm-chrome.
  2. 2Open Chrome and go to chrome://extensions.
  3. 3Turn Developer mode on in the top right. Load unpacked stays hidden until this is on.
  4. 4Click Load unpacked and select the unzipped founder-crm-chrome folder. That folder contains manifest.json.

If Chrome stops you

Developer mode is off
Load unpacked only appears after Developer mode is on. The toggle is in the top right of chrome://extensions.
Wrong folder
Select the unzipped founder-crm-chrome folder, the one that contains manifest.json. Not the zip, not Downloads, not a nested extra folder.
Chrome says a .crx is missing
This is an unpacked zip, not a store package. Do not drag the zip onto the page. Use Load unpacked on the folder instead.

Not ready to turn on Developer mode?

Leave an email. We’ll tell you when you can install from the Chrome Web Store instead.

No account. Just that one note when the listing is live.

Write your first flow

Everything is written to your browser profile. Nothing is uploaded, and you can wipe it from Flows, Manage data.
