About Vellum

What Vellum is

Vellum is a small archive of the household. You forward order confirmations, warranty registrations, receipts, and product manuals to a private Vellum inbox. Vellum reads them and pulls out the parts that matter — the product, the model number, the warranty length, the return window, the price you paid, the part you’ll probably need someday. When something breaks nineteen months later, you ask Vellum and the answer is there in two seconds instead of an hour of digging.

Why it exists

Every household keeps a small paper trail — the dishwasher warranty, the install receipt for the water heater, the box that came with the garbage disposal. The pieces don’t go missing because nobody is trying. They go missing because the system is the person who is paying attention, and the person is paying attention to other things.

The result is a small, recurring tax: hours lost looking for things, warranties claimed late, repairs paid for out of pocket because the proof of purchase couldn’t be found in the moment. Vellum exists because that tax is real, the existing options (binders, scan-everything projects, the kitchen drawer) all demand attention in the wrong direction, and a tool that quietly catches forwarded mail and answers questions later is the shape the problem actually wants.

Who’s building it

Vellum is built by Springhead, a small software studio focused on practical products for people who would rather use software than think about it. Springhead is independent, self-funded, and not in a hurry. We build things we would use ourselves and ship them when they’re good enough to be useful, not before.

Vellum is being built by Randy Crafton, the founder of Springhead. One person, working carefully, with the goal of a tool that quietly does its job for years.
