Where Vitne is
A standing update on the build.
What's working, what isn't, what comes next.
The public beta is open. Read the beta page first, then create your account.
Now
Right now
- The chat works. You can talk to it. It can write the entry for you in your voice.
- The journal works. Write manually, with the AI helping, or hand a chat to the AI and watch it become an entry.
- Encryption works. Your writing is sealed on your phone before it goes anywhere.
- The public beta is open. Read about it at vitne.so/public-beta, then sign up.
- Notes is live at vitne.so/notes. Five posts so far.
- The full encryption architecture is public at vitne.so/privacy/deep-overview. Every box, every arrow, including the parts that protect you and the parts that can't.
Next
What I'm finishing next.
- The encryption pass. The architecture is in place and the recovery flow round-trips, but there are edge cases I want to close before I ask anyone to trust it with their thoughts. This is the most important thing on my desk.
- A final privacy and code review with a security professional I trust.
- Footer links to where Vitne lives outside the app. They're external. Vitne's privacy doesn't follow you there.
Then
The first group.
50 to 100 people. Hand-picked by me, from the sign-up list and people I trust.
No marketing. No PR. No public numbers.
That step is behind us. The public beta is now open to everyone.
After
A public beta.
A few months long. Quiet growth. No ads, no sales calls, no deals.
It's public, and it's open for everyone to test. Sign up for the public beta at vitne.so/public-beta.
If the beta holds up, the full release follows.
Later
Later
- Patterns, the third feature, opens for people who have written 30 or more entries. Long-term reflections drawn from your own writing, kept private.
- The encryption code becomes publicly inspectable. Anyone can verify the claims on this page.
When
When
I'm one person. I don't want to lie about dates.
The public beta is open now. The full release follows when the beta holds up.
I'd rather miss a date than miss the bar.
