When does membership open?

Founding members are invited in September 2027, starting with the most engaged readers; public membership opens in October. Subscribe free now and you are on the list.

Is the daily brief still free?

Yes, always. Membership adds the ad-free edition, the tools and the extras; it never takes the brief away from anyone.

What does "founding price locked for life" mean?

Anyone who joins Vault during the founding period keeps that price for as long as they stay a member, whatever the public price becomes.

Can my spouse use the tools?

Vault includes household sharing with one other adult: the same In Case vault, the same Serum profiles, their own passkey.

With a passkey: your face, fingerprint or device PIN. No password to remember or to phish. It is what we tell readers to use, so it is what we built.
