Early Access, when it opens
Bead isn't on Google Play yet. Early Access opens soon.
No invites, no waiting list. When Bead's Early Access opens it will be an ordinary install from Google Play — one tap, no sign-up, nothing to be approved for. Until then there is nothing here to join, and no list anyone can put you on.
What Early Access will mean
- Bead is finished enough to live on your phone, and still moving. Every new build reaches you automatically for as long as Early Access runs.
- Nothing about the promise changes: no notifications, no account, nothing collected, no ads. Early Access is a stage of release, not a different app.
- What you tell us changes it. The fastest route in is an email — [email protected].
The iPhone version
Bead is one app, built for both phones from one codebase. The iPhone build exists and is in testing. There's no date for it, because a date would be a guess — when it's ready to be let out, this page will say so.
How you'll know
This page. Bead has no mailing list, which would be an odd thing for an app that promises never to email you — so there's no “notify me” box here and there never will be. Look in when you think of it, or watch zone7studios.com.
Still private
Early Access changes nothing: no ads, no accounts, nothing collected in the app. See our privacy story.
Meanwhile, from the same maker
Other quiet apps from the same desk — both open right now:
Cork — Early Access, live now
Your links, apps and notes pinned to colour-coded boards, and a whole board on your home screen.
Baton — Early Access, live now
A metronome that respects your practice: a steady, even click, trainers, setlists — and it casts to your TV.
Ethereal, Brume, Sylph, Lore, Slate and Bevel are open too — see them all at zone7studios.com.
