The system I run my own client work on

It holds everything you know about every client, and it gets more useful the more you put in it.

I'm Jerry. I coach and mentor, and I built this for my own practice before I built it for anyone else. I didn't hire anyone to build these. I built them, and you don't need to be a developer to do the same.

The short version

Think In Loops is a workspace for coaches that files everything you know about each client and briefs you before every session.

You add your clients, hand over the notes you already have, and get a brief back off them the same day. It runs on your own machine. Nothing moves until you say yes, and it never tells you anything your own notes didn't say.

The workspace costs nothing. It runs inside Claude Code, which needs a paid Claude plan, usually Pro, and that one is yours to supply.

Your notes live in a folder on your own computer and there's no server of mine in the middle. What you type into Claude does go to Anthropic to get an answer back, the same as using the Claude app.

What you actually get

A folder on your own computer, with a page for every client and everything you know about them in it. You talk to it in plain English. It files things where they belong and tells you where it put them.

It remembers so you don't have to

Paste in a transcript, type up your scribbled notes, or just tell it how the call went. It works out what it is, files it against the right client, and pulls out anything either of you promised to do. You stop keeping a client's history in your head between sessions.

You walk in briefed, every time

Before a session, ask where things stand. You get where you left off, what's outstanding, and what they said last time. Before a hard one, the renewal or the fee conversation you've been putting off, you get a longer read on the same material.

It never tells you anything your own notes didn't say. Where a note says you weren't sure about something, the brief says you weren't sure. It doesn't fill the gap with a plausible guess, which is the thing that would make you stop trusting it.

You follow up in your own words

You paste in a few emails you've actually sent, and it works out how you write from those. After that it drafts the follow-up in your voice, off what got said in the session. You read it, change what you want, and send it yourself. It never sends anything, and it has no access to your inbox.

The workspace is yours

The files sit in a folder on your machine. There's no account to create for the workspace, and nothing is uploaded to me. What you type into Claude goes to Anthropic, the same as if you'd typed it into the Claude app, because that's how Claude works. That's the honest version, and there's a plain-English page in the workspace walking through the two settings worth knowing about.

What it looks like in practice

Three moves, over and over. That's the whole thing, and it's where the name comes from.

How Think In Loops works: capture, then brief, then commitment 1 STEP 1 Capture You jot down what happened in the session, in your own words, right after the call. 2 STEP 2 Brief Before the next one, it reads that back to you: where things stand, and what's outstanding. 3 STEP 3 Commitment Every promise made, yours and theirs, is tracked, so nothing quietly slips between sessions.

Your first day with it

Setup walks you through it, conversationally. Expect about twenty minutes. You add your clients, then hand over the mess you already have: old chat exports, a folder of documents, notes you've been keeping in a doc somewhere.

It reads the pile, sorts it by client and by date, and shows you the plan before it moves a single thing. You say yes pile by pile. Then it tells you exactly where everything went and what you can now ask it.

One catch, and I'd rather you heard it from me than found it out at the time: it will not invent a client to make a pile fit. If it finds notes about someone who isn't on your list yet, it says so and leaves them to one side until you add them. So add your clients first, then hand over the mess.

Do that on a Tuesday morning and you can ask it for a brief on a real client the same afternoon.

Who it's for, and who it isn't

It's for you if

  • You coach or mentor people, and you're the one doing the work.
  • You've got client history scattered across docs, notes apps, your inbox and your memory.
  • You want the admin to take less time without the client work getting worse.
  • You're happy to type in plain English. You do not need to be a developer, and nothing here asks you to write code.
  • You're on a Mac or a Windows machine. There's a setup page for each, and the download picks up where you are.

It isn't for you if

  • You want something that runs your practice on its own. This doesn't do anything until you ask it to.
  • You want an app with a login and a dashboard. This is a folder of plain text files on your own computer.
  • You need it to work across a team, with shared access and permissions. It's built for one person.

What it costs, plainly

The workspace itself is free, and I'm not selling you anything on this page. It runs inside Claude Code, which is Anthropic's, and that needs a paid Claude plan, usually Pro. You pay Anthropic directly, not me. Check what that costs today on Anthropic's pricing page before you download anything, because I'd rather you decided now than after you'd spent an evening setting it up.

Get the workspace

It's a download, not a signup. You give me an email so I can send you the link. There's no account to create and nothing to log into.

Who made this

Jerry Ralhan

I'm Jerry Ralhan. I mentor on MentorCruise, where I'm a Top Mentor with 5.0 from 19 verified reviews, and I've spent 10+ years in tech.

I built this for myself first. I was running mentoring alongside a full-time job, keeping client history in my head and in half a dozen places, and losing the thread between sessions. So I built what I needed on Claude Code, ran my own client work on it, and then spent a long while making it something a coach could use without being me.

That's the whole pitch. A working practice handed over, not a product built off a market study.

These are reviews of my mentoring, not of the workspace. Nobody has reviewed the workspace yet, because it's new. They're here so you know who's handing it to you.

"Jerry was a great mentor. When I was lost and unsure of what path to take after pivoting from Football, he was able to resonate with where I was with my career struggles and uncertainty. I was also able to get some extremely realistic insights which allowed me to come to a conclusion in the direction I wanted to take my career. I highly recommend Jerry, and will be back for more mentorship in the..."

"Man oh man, where do I even begin. We've only had a few sessions, but out of the 20+ coaches i've had, I think Jerry may end up being the best."

Austin, on MentorCruise

"Great mentor. I plan to continue working with in the future"

Questions people ask

Do I need to be a developer?

No. You type in plain English and it does the rest. There's no code to write and nothing to configure. Setup walks you through installing one app, and it's the same kind of install as any other program on your computer.

How long does setup take?

About twenty minutes, conversationally, once the app is installed. It asks who you are and what you do, builds your workspace, adds your first clients, then walks you through one real session start to finish, so you've done the loop once before you're on your own.

Is it really free, and what do I have to pay for?

The workspace is free and there's nothing to buy from me. It runs inside Claude Code, which needs a paid Claude plan, usually Pro, paid to Anthropic. That's the only cost, and it's the one to check before you download, on Anthropic's own pricing page.

What happens if I stop paying for Claude?

You keep everything. Your clients, your notes and your briefs are plain text files sitting in a folder on your own computer, and you can open them in any text editor for as long as you like. What stops is the asking: no plan, no new briefs, because that part is Claude doing the work. Nothing of yours is locked up in the meantime.

What's the catch?

You have to feed it. It gets more useful the more you put in, and it does nothing on its own in the meantime. It doesn't work away in the background, it doesn't carry what it knows about one client across to another, and it won't invent a client to make your old notes fit. If you file nothing, you get nothing back.

What happens to my client information?

The files live in a folder on your own computer. There's no account for the workspace, no server of mine, and nothing is uploaded to me. What does leave your machine is whatever you type into Claude, because that's how Claude works: your message goes to Anthropic and the answer comes back, the same as using the Claude app. Setup asks you up front what you're comfortable with, and every part of the workspace respects that answer. There's a plain-English page inside walking through both settings.

Hand over your mess

Add your clients, give it what you've already got, and get a brief back on a real client the same day.
