Building in public · early MVP

Build it. Ship it.
Let the work speak.

FingShip turns trustworthy development progress into polished visual stories—quietly, locally, and always under your control.

The missing memory layer

What is FingShip?

It notices evidence, not keystrokes.

FingShip connects to projects you approve and records bounded Git metadata, prompt-free agent lifecycle phases, launched test-build identity, and images you explicitly select.

It reconstructs progress.

Related evidence becomes explainable Narrative Moments. Uncertain activity asks for context instead of pretending to know why the work mattered.

You remain the editor.

You confirm the narrative, choose visual proof, prepare a seven-format local Ship Kit, and deliberately export or copy each artifact. FingShip never publishes automatically.

How it works

Progress becomes a story—without becoming a chore.

01

Work normally

FingShip listens for small, trustworthy signals from tools you explicitly connect.

02

Review Moments

Related activity gathers into explainable Moments. You decide what belongs.

03

Shape the story

Studio adds pace, framing, typography, and motion without inventing outcomes.

04

Export deliberately

Preview first. Share only when the work and evidence feel right.

Private by default

Your project is not content inventory.

FingShip is designed to collect minimal metadata and approved artifacts—not source code, prompts, secrets, hidden agent state, or continuous screen recordings.

  • Local-first storage
  • Deterministic secret checks
  • No automatic publishing
  • No forced watermark

Current product status

A working local slice—not a public release.

The macOS 26 app, safe event policy, versioned SQLite store, ambient Git metadata, prompt-free coding-agent lifecycle intake, test-build observation, reversible user-level Codex hooks for source builds, explicit image-evidence quarantine and before/after composition, deterministic grouping, authenticated review dashboard, saved Story revisions, a seven-format grounded Ship Kit, and the reviewed Studio-to-Library GIF export loop build together today.

“FingShip captured, reviewed, rendered, and preserved its own progress without storing source code or private agent state.”
