An independent studio building AI-native products for African markets.
Designed, built, and shipped end to end — by one person, with AI as the workshop. Based in Rustenburg, South Africa.
Built from the market up, not the template down.
Vault of Time is an independent product studio. It researches, designs, builds, and ships software end to end — with no team in the way and no roadmap inherited from somewhere else.
The focus is African markets: products shaped by how people here actually live. Not features imported from a different economy and translated badly.
AI-native means the work that once needed a team and a year now needs one person and a few weeks. That shift is the whole reason this studio can exist — and the reason it can move faster than the people it competes with.
A grocery budgeting app for South African households. Snap a receipt and TillTap reads it. Build a shopping list and it predicts your total before you reach the till — so the number at the checkout is never a surprise.
Live as a web app and on Android, with receipt parsing, price prediction, and shared lists built in.
A small social network. You get a corner of your own to decorate, a wall only the people you let in can read, and communes — small rooms with a front door, where nobody outside can read a word.
No algorithm, no follower counts, no likes, no ads. Text only, by design. Live as a web app and on Android.
Builds products solo using AI-assisted development — vibe coding before it had a name.
She brings first-hand knowledge of South Africa's informal economy, township retail, and stokvel culture to everything the studio makes. Vault of Time is the studio; the products are the point.
