a preview of v2

two weeks after the Rust conversion landed, here's what it unblocked: one coordinated v2 across every platform, aimed at the end of this week. and what's coming right behind it: your own agents reaching your journal, confidential processing you can verify, and a trust portal live at trust.solstone.app.

two weeks, all Rust, no Python

we stopped shipping solstone entirely for two weeks to move the journal's core off Python. it's done. the journal's tree went from 692,090 lines of Python and 61,814 of Rust to 25,980 and 678,905, with no Python left under the product tree at all.

eleven releases, then we stopped

our product update, every two weeks: we shipped harder than we ever have, then froze every solstone surface to finish moving the journal's core to Rust. what that means if you run it today, and what comes back when it lands.

two weeks of solstone

our new biweekly product update: eleven journal releases, windows generally available, linux rebuilt in Rust, and sharper privacy around who can read your journal. nobody, including us.

sol keeps a journal

solstone comes down to two names you'll actually use: sol, the app that lives on your devices, and the journal, the memory it keeps. who's who, and where the promises live.

on your side, all the way down

you'll never see most of what we do to keep your journal yours. so here it is, one layer at a time — the work of making sure nothing about you ever leaks out to anyone, and how you can check that we mean it.

your journal, on your device

a memory that lives on your device. observers experience your day, your journal holds it, sol keeps it. open source, local, and private by covenant.

after me, only stronger

we filed sol pbc's original articles in january. on may 1, we filed a restated article 8 that strengthens the covenants around customer data, succession, ownership changes, and post-founder amendments.

i've been building tools for digital self-determination for 25 years. the AI finally caught up. here's what i built and why the company is structured the way it is.
