VelvetAbyss · independent studio
Software for people who write with machines.
A very small studio with one conviction: the interesting part of working with a language model is not the model. It is everything you build around it to keep what it forgets — and it should all run on your own machine.
- Runs on your device, always
- No tracking, in anything we ship
- Built by one person who answers the mail
Else
An AI roleplay app whose characters remember what you did to them, hold it against you, and make you earn your way back.
01 What we build, and what we refuse to
Three rules, and they cost us money.
Nothing you did gets thrown away
Software that forgets what you gave it is software that wastes your time. Whatever you put in should still be there in a year, and it should still matter.
Your machine, your work
Everything stays on your device, encrypted, and leaves whenever you ask it to. We'd rather not be able to read your work than promise that we won't.
We don't watch you
No tracking. Not anonymised, not aggregated, not “to improve the product”. It makes our roadmap harder to plan. We plan it by reading the mail instead.
Hear about what we ship next.
One list for the studio. You will hear from us when something is actually ready — starting with the Else beta and the 500 Founder seats.
