Trace
A local-first iPhone driving record that connects every trip to the exact vehicle setup behind it.
Explore TraceNothing useful happens in isolation.
Vex builds focused products that keep real-world activities, objects, decisions, and history in context.
See what we're buildingDifferent problems. Same discipline.
Vex starts with a difficult real-world system, preserves the context around it, and builds the smallest product that makes the whole workflow more useful.
InputA specific problem
One activity, object, or workflow with enough friction to deserve a focused product.
SystemConnected context
History, state, privacy, and decisions kept together instead of scattered across generic tools.
OutputDurable value
A product that remains useful on its own and becomes better as the record grows.
What we're working on.
One product is public. One is still under wraps. Both are being built as focused, independent systems.
Early development
Stealth project
A second focused product is taking shape privately. We’ll share its name and problem when the product is ready to explain.

A Vex product
Trace keeps every drive attached to the car that made it.
A local-first iPhone driving record that connects every trip to the exact vehicle setup behind it.
Core productDrive
Record the route, distance, duration, stops, and core metrics, then keep the trip attached to the vehicle and build behind it.
Core productHistory
Search and revisit past drives by vehicle and time, with deliberate controls for what belongs in a shared view.
Core productGarage
Keep modifications, maintenance, issues, photos, and milestones in a time-versioned record of how the car changed.

The car changes. Its record should know when.
Trace connects drives, modifications, maintenance, and milestones to the vehicle state that existed at the time.

Every product has to earn its place.
A Vex product is expected to meet four standards.
Useful before scale
It solves a complete problem before community or network effects make it more interesting.
Context stays attached
History, state, and ownership are part of the system, not optional metadata.
Control is obvious
What is private, shareable, or removable is explicit to the person using it.
Limits remain visible
Evidence, uncertainty, and the point for professional judgment stay clear.

Trace is public. The next project will be named when it is ready to stand on its own.
