( Ken OS for Windows )
Ken OS.
The system we built to run Ken Designers, from the first enquiry to the final receipt. Leads, quotations, projects, invoices, M-Pesa payments and support in one desktop app, so nothing lives in scattered spreadsheets and WhatsApp chats.
Ken OS for Windows is coming soon
Version 1.0.0 · Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit
( Progress update · )
Version 1 is built and in final testing.
Over the past week the core of Ken OS came together: the client portal, money, support, quality checks, automation and AI that only acts with approval. Next we test it hands-on and run it on our own projects before anyone else gets access.

changes shipped since 13 October
New
Client portal
Clients see their projects, approve requirements and quotations, check invoices and balances, and raise support requests in one place.
New
Quotes to receipts
Accepted quotations flow into invoices. Payments are recorded against them, and every payment gets a numbered, printable receipt.
New
Money view
Per-project financial summaries kept separate by currency, expense records with a full correction history, and collection goals.
New
Support desk
Tickets with priorities and assignment, and replies that are internal by default, so staff notes never reach a client by accident.
New
Quality gates
Requirements need client approval before work starts, and checklists, QA and a handover record must be complete before a project can close.
New
Content and leads
A Nairobi-time content calendar with publishing approval, lead-source tracking and case studies that need client consent.
New
Automation
Scheduled jobs on Nairobi time, in-app notifications and a background queue that retries safely instead of repeating work.
New
AI with approval
AI drafts and proposes actions, but nothing runs until a person approves it in the approval queue, and every decision is logged.
What happens next
- 1Hands-on acceptance testing on desktop and mobile
- 2A hosted pilot running Ken Designers' own projects
- 3Early access for a small group of businesses after the pilot
