The End of Disposable Software

Why we accept that our AI creations die in the chat window, and why it's time to change that.


We are living in the golden age of creation, but the dark age of retention.

Every day, millions of people ask AI to build incredible things. "Write a script to convert this CSV." "Build a tax calculator for my freelancer income." "Create a visual breathing exercise."

And every day, millions of these tools die.

They are generated, used once, and then buried under a mountain of new chat logs. They are Disposable Software.

The Ephemeral Trap

Conversational interfaces (chatbots) are amazing for generating code, but terrible for hosting it.

When you ask Claude or ChatGPT to build a tool, it exists only within the context of that conversation.

  • Want to use it next week? You have to find the chat.
  • Want to share it with a friend? You have to send them a screenshot or a raw text file.
  • Want to improve it? You have to re-prompt the context all over again.

We have normalized the idea that custom software is single-use. Like a paper plate, we use it and toss it.

Software Should Be Furniture, Not Napkins

We believe that the tools you build should be permanent fixtures in your digital life, not disposable napkins.

If you build a "Salary Calculator" that fits your specific needs perfectly, that app should live on your dock. It should have an icon. It should have a URL. It should be there for you tomorrow, next month, and next year.

Enter ClipVibe

ClipVibe is the Dock Launcher for the AI Age.

We don't generate the code—your favorite AI does that. We provide the home. We take the "disposable" snippet you just generated and turn it into a permanent, versioned, shareable app.

  1. Paste your AI-generated HTML or React code.
  2. Save it to your personal Dock.
  3. Use it forever.

The Future is Personal

The future of software isn't 100 giant apps that do everything for everyone. It's 100 million tiny apps, each built by one person, for one specific purpose.
