What coming soon means

Pip has no release date yet. Here is what exists today, what doesn’t, and what the one waitlist email will say.

Every page of this site says Pip is coming soon. The phrase usually hides a date that hasn’t been announced yet. In Pip’s case there isn’t one, and this is the longer version of what the phrase means here.

What exists

Pip is being built for Mac, Windows, iPhone and the browser, from one codebase. This is where each one stands.

Where	Today	Next
Windows	A test build with real tasks and notes, tried by the person building it	Installing it on a laptop that has never seen it
Mac	The same code, not yet checked on a Mac	Building and testing it on a Mac
iPhone	Designed, not built. The iPhone screens on the front page are design previews	Building it once the Mac checks are done
Browser	Runs in development and keeps its data in the browser. Not online for anyone	More testing before anyone else can open it

Pip’s Today screen in Light: the greeting Good morning, then a list of test tasks with Pick up the parcel largest at the top, smaller lines below, and Call the garage ticked off and struck through at the bottom. A short hint about areas sits to the right. — Today in the browser build, with six test tasks and one ticked off. The line on the right is one of Pip’s one-time hints.

What doesn’t exist yet

There’s no download, no trial and nothing to buy. The prices on the front page are the plan, and no payment is taken anywhere. The terms, privacy and refund pages are drafts, and a lawyer will read them before anything goes on sale.

There’s no release date either. We’d rather say that than pick a month and then explain it.

What ready will mean

Ready means you can install Pip on a computer and use it there for free, with no account and no time limit, and with your notes in a folder you own. Pro, which adds sync between your devices, opens at the same time.

The platforms may not all arrive on the same day. If Windows is ready before the Mac, the email will say Windows, and nothing on this site will suggest the others are out.

The one email

If you leave your email on the front page, you get one message to confirm it, and then one email when Pip is ready. Nothing comes in between, not a newsletter and not a countdown.

If you’d rather follow along, this blog is where the building gets written down, and it has an RSS feed.
