Same code. Five depths.

Pick a snippet and slide the depth. This is how Unvibe meets you where you are.

debounce.js
function debounce(fn, ms) {
  let timer;
  return (...args) => {
    clearTimeout(timer);
    timer = setTimeout(() => fn(...args), ms);
  };
}

Written by hand to show the range. In the app, explanations are generated for your own code.

How to start

Select code. Press Command U.

Unvibe sits beside Cursor and VS Code. Highlight what you want to keep, press the shortcut, and read the explanation in place.

From testers

The interface was simple to navigate, the explanations were clear, and Test Me made it easy to recap what I learned.

Sharice Gustian, private beta tester

Setup was smooth. The floating Island feels distinctive, and the explanation depth controls make learning feel genuinely tailored.

COMPANY

100%. Unvibe is out

The build meter hit 100 percent. Unvibe is live for Mac and Windows, with 800+ followers across Instagram, TikTok, X, and LinkedIn.

DISTRIBUTION

Smol Startup #1 daily

Unvibe hit #1 on Smol Startup for the day. Public badge lives in the site footer.

COMPANY

Startup support total

Program credits plus founder-reported cash now total $232,700. Includes Deepgram $1,000 (18 Aug) and Mixpanel Pro $144,000 for 1 year. Credits are not cash. Not a round.

PRODUCT

Dark pro: a sharper, denser Unvibe

The whole app is redesigned dark, like Linear or Raycast: near black surfaces, hairline borders, one violet accent with a soft glow. Today is a single dense view with a one line stats row and quick rows you can scan. Every page has a header with search and a Command U Explain button. The Command U panel and the Island share the same palette, and Vibe glows in the corner of every page.

PRODUCT

Sign-in that works on more networks, Windows that feels native

Unvibe now connects through your computer's own network settings and certificates, so Google sign-in works on school, work and antivirus networks. On Windows, Cursor, VS Code, Zed, Windsurf, Claude, Warp, GitHub Desktop and git are detected, the editor bridge installs, and copying a selection is more patient.
