Cohort 01 · 100 Founding Spots · iOS & Android

Show what you carry today. Every morning, before 10.

LAYX is the morning ritual for people who pick their objects on purpose. Mechanical watches, blades, cameras, fountain pens, fragrances or everyday tools: one photo before you head out, a private catalogue of everything you own, and a quiet community with zero algorithms.

Why we built it

Your gear and essentials live in five different places. They shouldn't.

Photos in your camera roll, specs in notes, receipts buried in old emails, good shots lost in social feeds. LAYX puts all of it in one place: an organized catalogue for your pieces, and genuine connection with people who notice the same details.

01

One catalogue, instant recognition

Type a few letters and LAYX recognizes over a thousand brands and models with the specs that actually matter: movement, steel, nib, mount, volume.

02

Sealed details

Serial numbers, purchase prices, receipts and private notes are encrypted on your phone before anything is uploaded. Handy for insurance — unreadable to everyone else, including us.

03

People, not a marketplace

No ad auctions, no algorithmic ranking, no buying or selling. Just what people genuinely carry and use, in the order they posted it.

How it works

Thirty seconds a morning.

01

Add a piece in seconds

Snap a photo — on iPhone, lift the object cleanly off its background in one tap — pick the recognized model, and save. Your phone strips GPS and camera metadata before upload.

02

Seal what's private

Serials, prices and receipt photos go into Sealed, encrypted with AES-256 on your device and locked behind Face ID.

03

Post your Morning Drop

Between 5 and 10 am, post one photo of what's on you — plus an optional close-up inset for a dial or blade. Posting yours unlocks today's Roll Call.

04

Send a Nod or ask

Tap once to send a Nod, or open an end-to-end encrypted question about a piece. Messages vanish automatically after 24 hours.

Vault

A proper home for a collection.

  • Instant match & clean cutout. Over a thousand brands and models recognized step by step, with one-tap subject cutout on iPhone so messy desk shots become clean catalogue cards.
  • Category-specific fields. Watches get movement and water resistance, blades get steel, pens get material and refill, fragrances get volume, lenses get mount and aperture.
  • Sealed behind Face ID. Serial number, price, purchase date and encrypted receipt stay blurred until you unlock them.
  • Two themes & carry stats. Switch between Obsidian dark and crisp Light mode, and see what actually makes it into your pocket week after week.

Daily Drop

What you carry, plus the close-up.

  • Dual-photo Morning Drop. Open every morning from 5 to 10. Add a second macro shot — dial, nib, Damascus grain — and drag the inset to any corner so it never covers your gear.
  • No peeking. Today's Roll Call stays locked until you've posted yours. Post after 10 if you must — it'll be marked late.
  • Callouts & Lock Screen countdown. A couple of mornings a week, Callout draws who sets whose deadline — tracked live on iPhone Lock Screen and Apple Watch.
  • Nods, not comment threads. One tap says good choice. Private questions go to 24-hour encrypted chat.
Peers & Connection

How do you find your people without an algorithm?

Mainstream platforms scrape your address book and rank posts for ad time. On LAYX there is no phone number, no real name and no feed ranking. You meet collectors through four quiet rituals.

No ads. No algorithm.

Every craft has a quiet home.

On most platforms, niche collections either get buried under targeted ads or drowned in buying-and-selling noise. On LAYX, intentional objects take centre stage — mechanical watches, blades, cameras, fountain pens, fragrances and tools, shared without an algorithm deciding what gets seen.

01

No ads

There are no ad slots, sponsored posts or banners between Drops. Your attention isn't for sale.

02

No ad profile on you

We don't build a behavioural profile on you, and we never sell or share data with advertisers.

03

No ranking

Drops appear in the exact order they were posted. Nothing gets boosted, buried or quietly hidden.

04

Short rules, same for everyone

No buying, selling or trading, and zero tolerance for abuse. The rules take two minutes to read.

LAYX follows applicable law and App Store and Google Play policies. Commerce, trades and abusive content are removed. Details in the Terms.

Privacy

Built so we can't look either.

Your account is twelve words generated on your phone. No email, no password, no phone number inside the app — nothing personal to leak.

FAQ

Questions people ask.

Why do you ask for my email on this page?

Only to send your personal Founding Pass when your Cohort 01 spot opens. The app itself never asks for an email, and your address is purged after delivery.

Will there be ads?

No. No ad slots, no sponsored posts, no personalized promotions. We don't build an ad profile on you either.

Can I buy or sell gear?

No. LAYX is a private catalogue and a morning photo. Listings, prices and trades aren't allowed anywhere in the app.

Can you see my serial numbers?

No. Sealed details and receipts are encrypted on your phone with a key derived from your 12 words that never leaves your device.

What if I lose my 12 words?

Then nobody can open your Vault, us included. Write them on paper once when creating your Vault; day to day your phone opens with Face ID.

What about hunting and sport shooting?

There's a separate Field space, off by default. You can enable it in your profile after confirming you are 18+ and only post firearms you legally own. Buying, selling, ammunition sales and modification guides are strictly prohibited.
