Why it matters
In a world dominated by screens, there's a quiet hunger for tangible interaction — for focus, rhythm, and the feeling of playing an instrument while you work.
Design highlights
Modular grid system
Inspired by synthesizers and control decks — a flexible field of programmable keys that adapts to the tool you're in.
Multi-tool profiles
Figma mode (alignment shortcuts), Framer mode (publish actions), and custom mappings for the rest.
OLED status display
Real-time context — mode, battery, time — without taking attention away from the screen.
Form follows function
Dieter Rams meets Japanese minimalism — quiet enough to disappear, considered enough to keep.
