- Nº 08 Ten rules for a calmer workday. Latest The bureau tries a list: ten rules for a calmer working day, the mail newspaper finally gets its name, and last issue's vote comes back split exactly in half.
- Nº 07 A hundred kind emails, and the one that stings. A hotfix from a hotel room, close to a hundred support emails in a fortnight, and the two verifications that decided where the summer went.
- Nº 06 A first in ten years, and Franz learns to listen. Native speech-to-text that never leaves your machine, the first Mac App Store listing in a decade, and why Franz is learning to ask less of you.
- Nº 05 The question you answered by not answering. Zero replies to last issue's question, filed honestly. Plus what a solo founder actually stops doing on holiday, and a newspaper for your inbox.
- Nº 04 The feature I killed last week. A full notes workspace, sketched, started, and then shelved on purpose. Plus a trick worth stealing, Franz will hold any website you like.
- Nº 03 A trick worth stealing. Five focused minutes that make you look well prepared for any meeting, and a first look at the assistant being built to do that preparation for you.
- Nº 02 Franz speaks French again. French rejoins Franz 6.3, and the bureau asks for your words for a wall of the people who stuck with Franz.
- Nº 01 Franz 6, and the end of an exception. The first dispatch from the bureau: a quiet Franz 6 launch, the exception that finally ended, and two things being built you should know about.
