Introducing the world's first Truly Smart Ring.
Touch UI to control connected devices. (Think swiping apps, pause/play music, controlling TV / IOT, and controlling AR Glasses / HMD.)
Haptics to notify you about what matters, so you can ignore everything else.
NFC for Tap-to-Pay payments, Tap-to-Share contacts, and soon, Tap-to-Unlock.
And, of course, it also tracks your health.
500 early access ARKH Rings are available now.

Demo Day 2: Preferred Notification 🔔📳🔕
Avoid the distractions, feel only what matters.
Using ARKH Ring, users may direct any notification (and even custom events, more on that later) to be felt as a "vibe" on their ring.
Friends, Work, Trades, AI Tasks, Wins, Health, etc.
Never miss the important stuff, and keep on vibing.

@TheDrewie We ran into some production headaches with Chinese New Year that affected our Charger.
Hardware is hard and great hardware takes time, but we’re getting there.
UPDATE: We’ve been heads-down on production + a few exciting strategic partnership conversations we didn’t want to speak on until they’re real.
To everyone who ordered an Early Edition ring: you’ll get a detailed email update tomorrow (timeline + next steps + options). Thank you for the patience — we’re shipping.
Demo Day 3: Playing Minecraft ⛏️
So, our smart ring can be programmed to control pretty much anything.
To highlight the seemingly infinite control use cases, our dev put together a quick demo for swinging in Minecraft with a Tap. (Also works in Roblox, Hytale, Fortnite, etc..)
Although this isn’t the primary use-case / focus for our internal development of the product —
Something about the idea of “Beating the Ender Dragon with a Smart Ring” seems exciting.
So, wdyt?
Should we finish putting this together so you can point+click and move around?
Let us know. 🥳
(Also note this uses the same logic for PC / VR hotkeys like toggle mute, toggle recording, auto click, etc etc.)
Also, the latency per click is something we’ve already solved. This video leverages a separate dev kit bridge so we can analyze inputs / errors in real time, which adds an additional 100-200ms latency per gesture.
Still, let us know what you think.

Demo Day 1: RingUI
Redefining the “smart ring” requires redefining how we use our devices in general.
Right now, the most popular smart rings in the world are basically just passive health trackers.
Useful? Sure. But they’re mostly boring, kinda “dumb”, and truly passive devices.
We’re building ARKH Ring as an active I/O wearable — maintaining passive benefit of current 24/7 wear health trackers, while also giving users simple and very useful active control functionality. (Aka, what smart rings should be.)
RingUI is the first big step: a world’s first “hands-off” HUD on your iPhone Lock Screen, driven by Ring gestures.
Swipe on the ring to navigate. Tap to select. Phone stays locked.
Think of RingUI as visual training wheels.
It keeps you grounded while you learn a screenless “gesture language.” Over time, you build muscle memory — until you barely need to look at your phone at all.
And ultimately, that’s the whole point. Every unlock pulls you in. Every time you check your health data or manage controls in an app you risk losing 20 minutes to doom scrolling distractions.
With our Ring, controlling becomes simple and intuitive. Notifications are felt and then eventually understood. Replying or prompting is easy and only a tap or swipe away.
RingUI is a first step away from the phone… and a step toward a less distracted / more optimally connected world.
In simple terms: control your iPhone without touching or even unlocking it.
