Illustrative artwork from the archive
Every school year ends on a last page. The books are signed, the photographs are shared, and the songs, the jokes and the small moments that made the year drift into memory. For most people, that is where the record stops.
Today AerEthos introduces Vision: a living archive for the people who shared a year. It is the most personal archive we have ever made, and it is built to keep going long after the day itself.
Vision is not a new product for its own sake. It is what we arrived at after two years of asking one question, and listening hard to the answers.
Two years in the making
Vision has been in development for two years. It started with a simple question: what do people actually want to keep from the years they spend together?
Students gave us the first answer. They told us about the photographs that never made it into print, the songs that defined the year, the clips they want to rewatch and the friends they want to find again. Their wishes shaped what Vision holds and how it feels to use.
Sports clubs, drama groups, societies and the other clubs that give a school its shape gave us the second answer. A team does not only want a squad photograph. It wants the season, the training, the moments that did not make the programme and the players who went on to other things. Each club has its own story, and each deserves a room of its own.
Bringing those two answers together was the hard part. Students want something personal. Clubs want something shared. Vision is built so that both can be true on the same page.
A printed book ends on its last page. This one doesn’t.
A yearbook is a remarkable object, and it has one limitation: it stops. Every page is fixed on the day it goes to print, and the best moments of the year have to fit into the space left over.
- Tap a name.It opens that person’s whole year, from the first day to the last photograph anyone added.
- Tap a photograph.See the film from that day, the people who were there and the page where it appeared.
- Hear the moment.The song that was playing, on the class playlist, ready to play again.
Nothing is a dead end. Every route leads somewhere that adds to the story. The printed book stays the start of the record. Vision is what keeps it going.
Six rooms. One year, kept whole.
Vision is organised into rooms, so every part of the year has a place to live. Each one holds a different kind of memory, and each one connects to the rest.
The Yearbook
Every page, every name alive.
Videos
The films from the year, with chapters and captions.
Photos
Everything that never fit in the book.
Updates
What happened next, posted by the class.
Music
The playlist, every song tied to a moment.
Alumni
A page for everyone, gathering all of it.
Everything connects.
One photograph knows who is in it, what day it was, which page it is on and what song was playing. That is the difference between an archive and a pile of files. The links are the point.
Built to last
An archive is only worth something if it outlasts the people who made it. Vision is hosted for thirty years, so the record of your year is still there when you come back to it, long after you have left school.
Access is simple on purpose. The people who belong to a year sign in with their email and a graduation code, so nobody has to remember a password from school.
Every addition is reviewed by AerEthos before it appears. We are the only moderators, and every decision is logged. The archive should feel like a place you can trust, and it should be easy to ask for something to come down.
Who it is for
Vision began with students, and students still come first. But the idea is bigger than one school year. It is for anyone who has wanted to keep a year, a team, a club or a circle of friends in one place.
The more people who keep their part of the story, the more complete the picture becomes. That is what makes Vision different from a collection of files. It is a record of how people were connected, not only what they looked like.
Letters to who you become.
Vision also holds time capsules. Write a letter in the last weeks of school, and choose when it opens: one year on, five years on, or ten.
Opened together, on the date you chose.

When it arrives
Vision launches in phases across 2027 and 2028. The core elements arrive first, and the bigger, more complex features follow over the months after.

Every 2027 yearbook with +Vision arrives with its archive ready on graduation day.
Every group
Clubs, teams, choirs and more join in waves, and the larger features arrive across the same period.
Vision with AerEthos
Vision comes with every AerEthos yearbook ordered with +Vision. The printed book stays the centrepiece: a beautifully designed object that a student can hold. Vision is what happens after the book closes.
The record does not have to stop
Every year has a last page. Vision means it does not have to be the last thing anyone keeps.
