Ship, then keep going
Every product launches small and gets better in public. We read the reviews, watch the numbers, and keep releasing long after launch day.

Your data stays put
Wick measures sound on the phone. FameTwin matches faces on the phone. Slipreel writes captions on the Mac. If it can run locally, it does.
