Coming to crowdfunding

Technology should help you reach your potential.

Not pull your attention in ten directions. We're building Kairon, a pocket-sized writing tablet for the ideas that arrive away from your desk, and a place to find and connect them later.

The Kairon prototype: a small black writing tablet with a 4.7 inch electronic paper screen and a stylus

What we believe

We believe technology should help people reach their potential, not fragment their attention.

So we set out to build the opposite of another screen asking for your attention: something that stays quiet in your pocket until a thought shows up, then helps you do something with it.

The problem, and our answer

Ideas arrive separately. Kairon helps bring them together.

A conversation, a walk, a sudden thought. Writing it down is the easy part. Finding it again, and seeing what it connects to, is where it usually gets hard.

01

Write it down.

Pull Kairon out of your pocket and write by hand, wherever the thought shows up. No apps to open, nothing waiting to grab you.

02

Press once.

One button. Kairon joins Wi-Fi on its own and sends the page to your companion website, with your original handwriting kept.

03

See what it connects to.

Search your handwriting and find related notes side by side. AI suggestions for connections and questions are what we're building next.

Search and connections: prototypeAI insights: in development

Handwriting is turned into text by an external AI service once it reaches the website, never on the tablet.

Present when the idea is

Ideas don't wait for a desk.

They show up mid-walk, on a bridge, on a bench, in the five quiet minutes you almost gave to your phone.

Kairon keeps the original page, words, arrows and sketches, while search works with the handwriting it can recognise.

Built, not imagined

Real hardware, built from scratch.

Kairon is made by two cofounders in Romania: George on hardware and firmware, Stefan on product and the business side. Every photo on this page is our current prototype.
