Open-source baseNone

Home health aides, childcare workers, and domestic workers are among the most economically vulnerable workers in the country: often in someone else's home, often misclassified, often working for agencies that take large fees from poverty-level wages. WanderCare tracks hours and travel time, documents wage theft, calculates agency fees against actual earnings, checks worker classification, and navigates the Domestic Workers Bill of Rights by state. WanderSOS integration for workers alone in private homes. Cooperative formation tools help workers organize into worker-owned care cooperatives.

Hand-assembled

Built by supported employment workers — people with intellectual disabilities, autism, and physical disabilities — through WWP's fulfillment program. Every product ships with a Built By card. Competitive wage, never 14(c) subminimum.

Repair & refurb

Send it back. Prepaid label. Component-level repair, module upgrades, firmware updates. 7-year spare parts guarantee. Donate on return — refurbished hardware goes to shelter and community partners. GPL firmware: the device works even if WanderVerse shuts down.

No hardware subscription — ever

BMW charged $18/mo for heated seats already in your car. GM locked remote start. Eero charges for VPN on hardware that could run it free. We don't do that. You bought it, you own it — every feature works forever, no subscription required. WanderAssist ($9/mo optional) is a convenience layer, never a gate. Safety features are never paywalled.

Pro & Lux tiers — coming

Every WanderVerse hardware product will offer Pro and Lux finish tiers — premium materials and handcrafted finishes by WanderVerse Artisans: supported employment workers with artistic skills. Each Lux unit ships with a Finished By card. Lux revenue cross-subsidizes nonprofit pricing.
