What "Live," "Coming Soon," and "Concept" Mean

ALKARTIS is in public beta, and every app carries a status label so you always know what you can actually use today. Here's what each one means.

Live

The app is available and reachable right now — you can sign in and use it today. "Live" is about availability, not perfection: the platform is still in public beta, so a live app may still have rough edges we're actively smoothing.

Coming soon

The app is built but not yet open. You can read about what it will do, but it isn't available to use yet. If a coming-soon app is exactly what you need, tell us through Contact — knowing there's demand helps us prioritize the order things open up.

Concept

A concept is an idea we're exploring in the ALKARTIS lab — a direction we find promising and are researching. Concepts are not commitments: there's no release date, no roadmap promise, and any of them may change shape or never ship. We show them because being open about what we're thinking about is more honest than pretending the roadmap is settled.

Why we label things this way

It would be easy to make everything look finished. We'd rather tell you plainly where each app stands — usable today, on the way, or just an idea — so you can rely on the "live" label and take the rest for what it is. That same honesty runs through Trust & Data Practices.

Where to see the current status

The labels change as apps ship, so the status pages are the source of truth for what's live at any moment:

Frequently asked questions

Is a "concept" a promise that it will ship?

No. Concepts are explicitly non-committal — no dates and no guarantees. Some become real apps; some don't.

Does "live" mean the app is out of beta?

No. The whole platform is in public beta. "Live" means the app is usable today, not that it's finished.

Can I get early access to a coming-soon app?

Sometimes — it depends on the app. The best move is to reach out and say which one you're after.
