About Vent
Vent is a hyper-private, voice-first reflective practice tool from Workband Ltd. Speak aloud; Vent transcribes on your phone, stores encrypted text in your vault, and offers optional on-device reflection and coaching-style Conversations grounded in your vents — not clinical diagnosis, prescription, or therapy.

Tobi Tonner
Tobi Tonner founded Vent at Workband Ltd. Over the last twenty years he has worked in tech startups and scaleups as a software engineer and engineering leader, including work with leaders at organisations such as Just Eat, JPMorgan Chase, and Simply Business.
He has also navigated profound personal health challenges, including open-heart surgery, a kidney transplant, and cancer. Those experiences reinforced how precious life is—and how building self-awareness supports personal and professional growth.
Fascinated by cognitive science and how the brain works, he built Vent as a private, on-device space to speak aloud and reflect, without sending your diary to the cloud. Vent is a reflective practice tool with optional on-device coaching in Conversations — not therapy and not a substitute for licensed professional coaching. Tobi coaches tech leaders separately through his coaching practice.
