How it works

  1. 01

    Describe it

    Tell Vivarium what you want in plain, everyday words.

  2. 02

    We build it

    Vivarium puts it together for you. Choosing the apps, setting up privacy and safety, and checking everything before you ever see it.

  3. 03

    Set it up and keep it

    Load it onto a device you own. Then it is yours, keep it, change it, pass it on. It runs at home, on your terms.

Built so you can trust it

  • Safe by default

    Every app is built in an isolated environment and checked for problems first. If something is not right, it gets corrected.

  • Yours to keep

    What you build is yours. Take it anywhere, change anything.

  • Runs at home

    It runs on a device in your home. Something real you can hold and plug in.

  • Built for you

    Shaped around what you need. Vivarium works for you, the way you want it to.

Frequently asked questions

  • What does it run on?

    Currently we are building for macOS, Windows, and Linux. When your spot opens, we will show you exactly which ones to get and where.

  • Do I need to be technical?

    No. If you can describe what you want, Vivarium handles the rest. There is nothing to code and nothing to figure out.

    And if you are technical and want to dig in, you can. Everything is open to you.

  • Can I change what it builds?

    Yes. What you get is yours. Open it up, change it, share it with a friend.

  • Can Vivarium see my device after it is set up?

    No. Once it is set up, your device is on your home network. The apps you build are yours and do not report any data to us.

  • What happens to my information while you build?

    It is kept private and encrypted. We will explain exactly how it is handled before you share anything.
