Vol. 001 · Ledger
Ten dealer chats. Thousands of messages a day. Your phone crawls, storage screams, and you’re one step from buying a second phone just to hold the archive.
Vestari reads every group in the background — voice notes, screenshots, prices — and hands you a searchable archive. One phone. Zero clutter.
Chapter I · Setup · Vol. I
Other tools ask you to type your last two years into a spreadsheet. Vestari reads them from where they already live.
Same way WhatsApp Web works. Point your phone camera. That’s it. Read-only — we can never send a message from your number.

Start setupA real comp · pulled seven minutes ago
A dealer dropped a Sub in one of your threads. Vestari clipped the photo, pulled the reference from the image, transcribed the voice note, tagged the seller, and filed the price. In the time it took you to scroll past it.

Chapter II · The problem
You’ve been in the same threads since 2019. A dealer sent you a Sub for $12,400 last April. You know he did. Try finding that message today.
Chapter III · Security · Caliber
Comps are proof of what you paid. Suppliers, buyers, prices, deals. If it leaks, you get burned. Vestari is engineered from day one to be one of the most secure archives a private dealer can hold.
FIPS-197 · Bank-grade
Every message, every photo, every voice note is encrypted with AES-256-GCM before it hits our database. The same standard used by governments and Tier-1 banks.
Forward secrecy · HSTS
Nothing moves between your phone, Vestari, and your archive without end-to-end TLS 1.3. No plaintext, no exceptions, ever.
HKDF · One key per dealer
Your archive is encrypted with a key derived just for you. Even if another dealer’s data were exposed, yours would stay unreadable.
Zero send permissions
Vestari physically cannot send messages, react, or open personal chats. The bridge is compiled without those capabilities.
AWS us-east · SOC 2 hosts
Data stays on US soil, hosted on SOC 2 Type II infrastructure. Export your archive, delete your account, and it’s gone in under 60 seconds.
HMAC-SHA256 fingerprints
Phone numbers and seller identifiers are stored as one-way hashes. Even our own engineers can’t reverse them.
What Vestari will never do

Chapter V · Origin
I run Lume Vault out of West Palm Beach with my partner Rob. Private watch dealer, quiet client book, phone in one hand from morning to night. On paper, the business works. In practice, it was held together by screenshots and memory.
Every deal lived in a different place. Buyer messages in one thread, supplier confirmations in another, invoices in a Google Doc I’d retype every time, comps buried in six years of WhatsApp I couldn’t search. I was writing prices on napkins and losing them. I was owing suppliers money I’d already been paid for. I was doing the same admin work three different ways because nothing talked to anything else.
The tools built for our world are for pawn shops or enterprise dealers. Nothing was made for the way a private dealer actually works — the threads, the trust, the cash, the speed. So I stopped waiting for it.
Vestari is the first piece. It ends the WhatsApp search problem. Every comp I’ve ever seen, in one place I can actually pull from.
LumeTrade lands October 1. Inventory, invoicing, CRM, tax, Share-A-Watch pages — every deal Vestari captures flows straight into it. One system. Same dealer voice. Same rules.
Both live under Lume Vault because they came out of Lume Vault. Built by a dealer, for the dealers who’ve been carrying it in their head for too long.
