One short page per feature: where it is, the exact clicks, and what it never does. In the app, press / in Settings to jump to any setting.

Start here

• Automatic updates: when FoxPlug brings things up to date for youFoxPlug brings your project up to date when you open the app after a day away, and once a day after you finish three setup steps or on a paid plan.
• The Check for what's new buttonThe big green button on Today reads your connected tools, scores what you shipped, writes posts for what is new and rebuilds your brief, when you press it.
• Drafts: where your posts are and why nothing posts on its ownEvery post FoxPlug writes waits in Drafts. You read, edit and approve it. Nothing is posted or sent until you press the button.
• Find any setting or connector with the search boxThe search box at the top of Settings finds a setting or a connector by name, even misspelled, and takes you straight to it.
• Start here: sign up and make your first projectSign up, confirm your email, paste your site and get your first brief and first post. Free keeps one project; nothing posts on its own.

Your brief

• Do AI answers recommend you, or a competitor?Ask an AI assistant five buyer questions and see whether it names your product or a rival. One press, one fix, one draft. Your first check is free.
• Brief by emailGet your Today brief in your inbox, weekly or daily. It is off until you switch it on, and one click turns it off.
• Competitor watchWatch up to 5 competitors' public pages and see what changed since your last check. Each line names the page and the date. First check free.
• Ask your buyers before you ship (simulated buyers)Paste a pricing page, feature text or launch copy and see how 3 to 5 simulated buyers would react. They are not real customers. First run free.
• Your Today brief: what to fix, what to say, what to skipThe Today brief gives you one list: things to fix on your site, things worth saying in a post, and things to skip, each with where it came from.
