A planning wall of pinned cards in a sunlit studio, with Mike and Zara adding to the plan

RoadmapWhat’s here,and what’s next.

Three lists. What the app does today, what’s being built now, and what people keep asking for that has no date.

No datesNo maybesUpdated as it ships

In the app today

Live now.

All of this is in the version on the App Store. What comes with the free plan and what comes with Pro is in the pricing section.

Live

The cast

Characters with their own way of talking, all sharing one memory of you.

Live

Characters who compare notes

Tell one of them something and the others know it, even ten minutes later.

Live

Talking out loud

Hold to talk, let go, and they answer in their own voice.

Live

Characters you make

Build your own from a photo of anyone or anything.

Live

Calendar, tasks and notes

Your week, your list and the things you want kept, added by sentence.

Live

Habits and goals

Streaks kept honestly, with a nudge when one slips.

Live

Health and meals

Sleep, mood and what is for dinner, a day at a time and never graded.

Live

Money in and out

Watched month by month, so a strange month is visible rather than a surprise.

Live

The vault

The documents you need on you, encrypted and to hand.

Live

Reading a photo

Point the camera at a receipt, a label or a whiteboard and it reads it.

Live

Making a picture

A sentence in, an image out.

Live

Deleting your account

From settings, in the app. Deleted, not archived.

Being worked on

Next, roughly in order.

This is the actual list, not a marketing version of one. The order changes when something turns out to be harder or when enough people ask for the same thing.

  1. 01
    Up next

    Shared Spaces 2.0

    Lists, chores, bills and a calendar for the people you live with, with a character who keeps everyone on the same page.

    See the page
  2. 02

    Replies that arrive as they are written

    At the moment a longer answer appears all at once after a pause. It should appear as it is being written, which is the single biggest thing standing between how the app feels and how it should feel.

  3. 03

    Memory that tidies itself

    What it knows about you fills up with near duplicates and the occasional contradiction. It needs to notice when something newer replaces something older, and keep the newer one.

  4. 04

    A weekly recap, in character

    One message at the end of the week about how the week actually went, written by whoever you talk to most.

  5. 05

    A nudge when it is worth one

    Not a notification schedule. One message, when something real prompts it, and never more than that.

Asked for, no date

The ones people ask about.

Wanted, and not close. Better to say so than to leave you waiting on something that isn't coming this year.

No date

Android

Not started, and there is no date. Vera is on iPhone. Saying otherwise would be inventing a timeline to keep somebody reading.

No date

A web app

Parts of Vera run in a browser today, but a full version you could live in is not close.

No date

Connecting your bank

It has been asked for and it is not built. Money in Vera is entered rather than imported. If that changes it will appear in the list above first.

The order isn’t fixed.

Several things on that list are there because somebody wrote in and asked. If there’s something you want, say so and it goes into the thinking.
