02Core values
Fewer reasons to take out your smartphone.
Everyday moments when listening to music or making a short call means taking out your phone. Our starting point is adding communications and a display to a case that holds two earbuds.
Storage and proximity considered together
We are researching technology that checks whether the earbuds are in their case and whether the smartphone is nearby to decide when to activate connectivity and which device to connect for audio.
From music to AI
We are preparing features for finding information, taking notes, and assigning tasks to remote devices by voice. The intended setup is to carry the case with you.
