You wish you’d filmed year one. You can’t.

But year six is happening right now. Document this chapter, for the exit, the book, the team, or just so it exists.

year six. the chapter nobody filmed

It’s too late for year one. It’s exactly the right time for this year.

How it works

Three steps. The middle one is sleeping.

01

Evening, it asks, you answer.

At the same time each evening your phone says “ready for episode 12?” Underway already knows roughly what you did today, your calendar, your commits, your meetings, anything you tapped during the day. It asks you a good question about it, out loud, and listens to the answer. Then it asks about the thing you left hanging. You answer to camera, or with no camera at all. About two minutes.

Overnight, it makes the episode.

Your answers are cut together in the order you said them. Nothing is reordered. Nothing is added. It just tidies the long pauses and puts your name and episode number on the front.

Morning, it’s ready.

“Episode 12 is ready.” Watch it. Drop an answer if you don’t want it in. Post it, or keep it. That’s the whole job.

Episode 12 is ready.

It remembers

It has read every day of your company.

Underway keeps a private memory of your series. It knows what you said you’d do by Friday. It knows who Carlo is. It knows this is the third week in a row you’ve mentioned cash.

So tonight’s questions start where last night’s answers stopped:

“Last Tuesday you said you’d walk away if they pushed the liability cap again. They did. What did you do?”

Not “what did you do today?”, a real question, from something that’s been paying attention.

Answer the questions. Tap done. Go to bed.

We don’t give you a timeline. We don’t give you effects. We cut on full sentences, keep your words as you said them, and stop there. If you want to remove an answer, it’s one switch.

Your raw footage is always yours to download, on every plan, including the free one. If you ever want a fancier edit, take it anywhere you like.
