We're a small, independent team - and that's by design. We don't have investors telling us what to build. You do.
Every feature in Enclave was shaped by people like you. Inside the app, you can submit feature requests, vote on ideas from other users, and watch them move from "open" to "shipped." The most-voted ideas get built first - no corporate roadmap, no guessing. Just real people building the tool they actually want.
Got an idea? Submit it directly from the app. We read every single one.
Upvote the features you care about. Top-voted ideas get prioritized in our roadmap.
Track status from Open โ Planned โ In Progress โ Completed. Full transparency.
This isn't just our platform - it's yours. We rely on users like you to help us build something worth switching to. Your feedback isn't a suggestion box that goes nowhere - it's our actual roadmap.
