Resource: 12 Tools Every Solo Founder Needs in 2026
The lean stack that keeps me shipping without burning out
Running solo means you need tools that multiply your output. Here's my current stack after 3 years of iteration:
**Build**
- Cursor (AI coding)
- Supabase (backend + auth + DB)
- Vercel (deployment)
**Launch**
- Founders Today (community + launch)
- Lemon Squeezy (payments)
**Marketing**
- Typefully (Twitter scheduling)
- Beehiiv (newsletter)
- CapCut (short video)
**Ops**
- Notion (everything)
- Linear (issues)
- Cal.com (scheduling)
**Research**
- Perplexity (fast research)
- Granola (meeting notes)
What would you add or remove from this list?

Thanks for the useful tips i use cursor on a time to time basis but it sad that i didn't see claude code on the list, atleast that is currently the most useful stack for builders right now
Honestly i thought as much i didn't see Claude that's absurd
