Roadmap
The public page shows Sahara’s north star: privacy-first, culture-aware, on-device grief support for India. This page makes the current state explicit.
Current state versus the reference vision
The redesigned marketing site intentionally presents the product we are building toward: a quiet refuge where WhatsApp memories, grief journaling, Presence, Baithak, and Aasman Diya feel native to Indian families and languages.
Today, Sahara already has the core memory-space foundation. Some parts of the reference experience are shipped, some are in private beta, and some are still roadmap items. We prefer to be clear here while keeping the homepage focused on the full promise.
Person-based memory space
Create a person, write memories, attach images, browse timeline and cards, and ask questions over saved text.
Presence
A first-person, source-backed experience reconstructed from approved archive material. The marketing page shows the intended emotional surface.
Device-first privacy
The reference vision is on-device processing for the most sensitive archive material. Current deployments still use managed app infrastructure while this direction is developed.
Baithak and Aasman Diya
Community rituals are part of the product direction. The public site includes them as the north-star experience while the roadmap marks their delivery state.
What is shipped now
- Person-based memory spaces — create someone you want to remember and keep their memories together.
- Written memories and images — capture moments in your own words, with optional visual anchors.
- Imported conversations — bring text exports from messaging apps into a person’s archive.
- Timeline, cards, and Ask — revisit saved material chronologically, through generated cards, or with natural-language questions.
Presence
Presence is the emotional center of the reference page: “write to them, they write back — in their own words.” The intended version is source-backed and constrained to real archive material, never a free-floating impersonation.
The current product has the technical foundation for grounded retrieval and answer generation. The first-person Presence experience is treated carefully because it needs stronger consent, labeling, source display, and safety boundaries before broad release.
On-device privacy direction
The marketing vision is direct: your grief stays on your phone, not in the cloud. That is the product direction for the most sensitive material: local archives, device-side memory vectors, hardware-backed identity, and optional sharing only where you choose it.
Current deployments still rely on managed application infrastructure for account access, storage, imports, and AI features. Moving sensitive processing closer to the device is a major roadmap track, not a small styling change.
Baithak
Baithak is the planned community layer: anonymous peer gathering with no likes, no advice economy, and no performance of recovery. The goal is simple presence: “I’m with you.” “Sending dua.”
Aasman Diya
Aasman Diya is the public ritual layer. The homepage includes the interactive wall as a non-persistent preview. The product version will need moderation, consent, naming controls, and abuse prevention before it becomes a real community surface.
North star
Sahara’s north star is not a generic memory app. It is a privacy-first grief companion for India: multilingual, culturally aware, quiet by default, and honest about what technology can and cannot replace.
