What exists, what’s coming
Vando is built in three releases, named by who each is useful to. V1 Me, V2 Us, V3 Us + AI. We are in V1, in early access. This page says what works and what doesn’t, and we update it as things change.
V1 Me: being built now
Useful to one person, on their own devices.
Works today
- The phone app on Android: sign up, save passwords, notes, API keys, files and one-time codes.
- The four levels (Easy, Just me, Two devices, Fort Knox), with security keys for Fort Knox.
- Vaults and folders.
- The recovery kit, with its 48-hour wait and alarms.
- Autofill on the phone.
- The laptop extension for Chrome: fill and save logins by asking your phone, and trust a laptop for a while.
- Claude Code: the guard on risky commands, and asking for a secret through your phone. Set it up.
- Secrets for your programs on a laptop:
vando rungives a command its secrets for a time you pick on your phone (once, an hour, a day),vando initbrings a whole project's.envfiles into your vault with one approval, andvando doctorchecks the setup. One secret · A whole project. - The Inbox, approvals and signed receipts.
Being built
- A published
vandopackage, so connecting Claude Code needs no copy of the code. - Cloud sessions: the same, for an AI that runs in the cloud instead of on your laptop.
- One “You’ll need” screen before the steps on every approval, and one ask card that looks the same for every kind of ask.
- Clearer words for asks that ran out.
- Moving to a new phone, and the import and export screens.
- iPhone. It runs in Apple’s simulator today; a real-iPhone build needs an Apple developer account first.
None of this is in the app stores yet.
V2 Us: later
Useful to you and your people.
- Connect to family, a partner or a friend, in person.
- Share a thing with them, with its lock.
- Ask “is this really them?” and have their phone answer, when a message claims to be from someone you know.
- People you trust helping you get back in.
V3 Us + AI: later
Useful to you, your people, and the AIs that act for you.
- More AIs than Claude Code, including ones that run in the cloud.
- Payments with limits: an allowance an AI can spend without asking each time, only at shops you choose.
- Short-lived cloud keys: for AWS and others, a narrow key for one job that stops working by itself, so nothing long-lived is left to leak.
After that
Specified, not scheduled: guardians and emergency access, organisations, and more ways to prove it’s you.
