Mission & values

Quality that solves real pain.

We build for friction points that actually matter — with respect for your privacy and your needs. Not products built to extract money. Products built to be worth talking about.

We won’t build products just to extract money from people.

We build with quality — solving pain that’s real, with respect for your privacy and your needs. Done so well you want to tell someone about it.

Max Kazanovsky, founder

Why we build

  • Real problems, solved right

    We only build when something genuinely removes friction from your day. Not products to fill a market gap or juice a metric — products for pain that actually exists.

  • Privacy you can trust

    Personal data lives where it belongs — on your device. When something has to leave, we redact first and tell you what leaves. Your needs aren't a feature; they're the baseline.

  • Built to earn a recommendation

    We don't measure success in session time or engagement metrics. We measure it in whether you'd tell a friend. That's the only growth we care about.

How we build

  • Calm by default

    No streaks, no dopamine traps, no notifications begging for attention. Consumer, team, or developer — our software is quiet on purpose.

  • Privacy you can trust

    Your data lives where it belongs. Cloud is a deliberate choice, not the default. When something has to leave the device, we redact first and tell you exactly what goes.

  • AI on your terms

    When we use AI we redact your data first, tell you exactly what leaves the device, and let you turn it off. No models trained on your work.

  • No dark patterns, ever

    We charge for what we build — pro tiers, B2B licenses, dev seats. We don't growth-hack your trial, harvest your attention, or sell your data. That's not how you earn a recommendation.

The team

Built by two people who actually use it.

Vegarise started in 2023 when Max and Rostyslav set out to build something they believed could change how people experience music. They worked on it for nearly two years — the vision was clear, the ambition was real, the work was relentless. But building a revolution takes more than two people and a big idea.

In 2025, Vegarise found its real direction: a deliberate series of focused products — for everyday life, for teams, for developers. Software built with quality that solves real pain, with respect for your privacy and needs. Not products built to extract money — products built to be worth talking about. Finvision is the first proof.

Finvision

Offline money planner for iPhone

Know what you can safely spend today.

Without breaking your month. One honest number — recalculated the moment money moves — and an AI owl named Penny who knows your numbers but never shares them.

  • Left to spend
  • Penny AI
  • 100% on-device
  • Goals
  • Widgets

Meet Penny, your AI money owl

Penny knows your last six months of patterns and answers anything about your money in plain language — honestly, in seconds, without judgment.

  • You can safely spend €47 today.
  • That’s tight — €12 left this month.
  • You’re on track for your Europe trip.

Raw transactions never leave your iPhone — Penny sends only a short budget summary and your question. Never names, amounts, or details.

Questions

Honest answers, no hedging.

The questions we get most often. If yours isn't here, just ask.

  • What does Vegarise actually build?

    Software that solves real problems — made with quality you can feel, with respect for your privacy and needs. We build across three areas: calm consumer apps (Finvision is the first), tools for teams that don't waste their attention, and small sharp products for developers.

  • Is your software really private?

    Yes. Where the data is personal — like Finvision's ledger — it lives on your device by default. Where AI is involved (e.g. Penny inside Finvision), we send only redacted values, never names or descriptions, and we tell you exactly what leaves the device.

  • Do you charge subscriptions?

    Yes — for some products. Consumer apps usually have a free core and an optional pro tier; B2B and developer products are licensed. What we don't do: growth-hack your trial, push notifications to fake engagement, or sell your data to make up for cheap pricing. Honest prices, no dark patterns.

  • When does Finvision launch?

    Finvision's open beta starts June 24, 2026 on iOS 17.6+ — anyone can join, no account or waitlist. The full App Store release follows July 15, 2026. To get in early, open the beta on finvision.vegarise.io or email hello@vegarise.io with the subject "Finvision beta."

  • What's next after Finvision?

    More consumer apps in the same calm-tech direction, a couple of B2B ideas we're piloting, and early developer tools. We ship slowly on purpose; we'll talk publicly when something's worth showing.
