State of Gand
Gand is a small studio building a family of focused tools — for thinking, planning, reading, creating, and saving money. Each one is sharpened to do a single thing well, built to respect your time, your attention, and your data. Most of them share one account, so signing in once carries across the family. Here's where things stand today, and what you can do with each.
One account
Sign in a single time and the same identity carries across the apps that need one. There are no separate logins to juggle and no scattered profiles — your data stays tied to you, and moving between tools feels like staying in one place.
vigil.today — reminders & habits
A gentle reminder and habit tracker for the things that repeat. Set a recurring task — water the plants, take your medication, a weekly review — and watch each one shift from calm to urgent as its moment approaches, so a single glance tells you what needs you now. Tap to mark it done and the timer resets cleanly. It installs on your phone like a native app, gives you a nudge when something slips overdue, and keeps everything in sync across your devices.
vigil.wiki — notes & publishing
A quiet place to write and connect your thinking. Jot ideas in plain text, link related notes together, and follow those links backward to rediscover what you wrote months ago. When a note is worth sharing, you can publish it to the web in a click. It's also designed to be shared with AI assistants, so a helper can read your notes — or add to them — when you ask it to.
vigil.quest — long-arc goals
For the bigger ambitions, the ones measured in months rather than minutes. vigil.quest takes a long goal and breaks it into clear, ordered milestones, then ties each step to the real reminders and notes it creates — so momentum and streaks stay visible the whole way through. It's the newest member of the family and still taking shape.
vigil.directory — your public page
The public face of your work. The notes you choose to publish become clean, shareable pages under your own profile, easy for anyone — or any AI searching for a topic — to find and read. It's where your writing meets the wider world. (This very document lives here.)
vigil.computer — private AI in your browser
A capable AI assistant that runs entirely inside your browser. Chat with open models with no account and no subscription, and because everything runs on your own machine, your conversations never leave it. It can look things up on the web when you ask, and even help operate your other tools — a genuinely private assistant that costs nothing to use.
skrivist — read & listen to your books
A calm, web-based home for your ebook library. Bring your books together, read them in a clean reader from any device with your place kept in sync, and let it read aloud to you in a natural voice when you'd rather listen than look. It welcomes the library you already have, so getting started is simple.
fablespun — illustrated stories, made for you
Original, illustrated storybooks spun from your own characters and ideas. Describe a cast and a world, and it brings them to life as a fully illustrated tale you can read on the web — and have narrated aloud. Its kids' edition is made for families with children aged three to eight, with a growing library of gentle, age-appropriate stories.
sudone — pay the real price
A barcode scanner that finds the honest price. Point it at a product and it instantly compares what Japan's major online marketplaces are charging, so within seconds you know whether a deal is really a deal. There's nothing to sign up for and no account to create — just scan and see. Wider marketplace coverage and a shopper-powered map of in-store prices are on the way.
That's the state of Gand today: a handful of small, sharp tools, each doing one thing with care, and growing steadily. More soon.
