TL;DR:

Price:

“Under $100”:

After [the preorder], it will go up to $99.

Battery is not rechargeable:

And what happens when the battery runs out? You just send the ring back to be recycled.

Runtime:

The integrated battery will power the device for 12–14 total hours of recording. The designers estimate that to be roughly two years of usage if you record 10 to 20 short voice notes per day.

• “Roughly two years” = lets say that’s 20 months
• 12 hours = 43.200 seconds = 72 seconds/day
• “10-20 short voice notes” = 3.6-7.2 seconds per note

Features:

• Records only while pressing the button

• The recording is converted to text and fed into a large language model (LLM) that runs locally on your device to take actions. The speech-to-text process and LLM operate in the open source Pebble app, and no data from your notes is sent to the Internet. However, there is an optional online backup service for your recordings.

• A model small enough to run on your phone has to focus on specific functionality rather than doing everything like a big cloud-based AI

• • Create or add to notes
  • Set reminder
  • Create alarm
  • Create timer
  • Play/pause/skip music track (via button press)

• also designed to be hacking-friendly. The audio and transcribed text is yours […] You can route it to a different app via a webhook, and the LLM supports model context protocol (MCP), so you can add new functionality that also runs locally. The AI model will also be released as an open source project.
