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.

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.)
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.
Interesting? Let us know if you want a Ring below.

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.
What do you think?
DE1, with our new ARKH “I/O” API, allows you to:
1. Connect touch “Gestures” (input) to control any web connected platform / app. 👓
2. Create haptic “Vibes” (output) to feel events you don’t want to miss. 🎉
Think AI Agents (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini) sending you vibes or responding to your gestures,
“Hey Claude, notify me when Tim Cook tweets, but only if it’s relevant to AR”
“Hey ChatGPT, send me a vibe when BTC moves +\- 1%”
Or
Think vibe-coding custom extensions so that you can “Swipe” to skip YouTube Video, or “Tap” to show next Pitch Deck slide.

The Smart Ring should be so much more than just a health tracker.
Technology was supposed to disappear into our lives…
Instead, it hijacked them.
Our phones demand our attention.
Our screens steal our time and presence.
Our notifications train us to react, not live.
We don’t just need more technology.
We need better interfaces.
We believe the smart ring should be the most natural interface ever created —
not another app to manage,
not another screen to check,
not another device competing for your attention.
ARKH exists to build that perfect I/O device; the ideal smart ring.
A ring that lets you:
Control and respond to technology with a simple touch,
Feel only the notifications that matter,
Pay and Connect effortlessly, securely, everywhere,
Track your health quietly — always on, actually helpful.
No screens.
No endless scrolling.
No cognitive overload.
Just intent → action.
We imagine a world where technology:
•Responds only when you want it to
•Communicates through subtle signals, not interruptions
•Enhances presence instead of pulling you away from it
A ring you forget you’re wearing —
until you need it.
This isn’t about replacing your phone.
It’s about freeing you from it.
This isn’t about a new “nice to have” device.
It’s about setting the balance straight with technology that actually augments our life. True “AR” Hardware.
If you believe:
•Interfaces should feel human
•Technology should serve life, not dominate it
•The future should feel more simple, intuitive, and personal
Then you’re already part of this.
We’re building ARKH for those who want control without distraction
and power without noise.
This is the next interface.
This is the truly smart ring.
And we’re just getting started.
We’re working hard to roll out demos this week of things we know you’ve never seen before.
Our early access is full and shipping imminently.
Our full launch is planned for April 2026, when we feel confident we’ll be able to deliver the best v1 per user refinement.
Make sure notifs are on, go to ARKH.com
And for all those here early, get ready to 🍽
Early Access Update:
Thank you for all the support yesterday — we’re nearly sold out of Early Access slots, and begin shipping first sizing kits & v1 Rings soon. 📲🎁👏🏻🥳
Over the next few months, your feedback will help us refine:
• Touch UI controls (for Mobile, PC, IOT, AR Glasses)
• Preferred Notifications (feel only what matters)
• Tap-to-Pay / Connect / Unlock
• Passive Health Tracking
— with full launch targeted for April 2026.
The truly Smart Ring — something a whole lot more than just a boring health tracker — is an “Augmented Reality” technology that we believe will reside on +100M hands globally over the next 5 years.
(Imagine controlling AR glasses/TVs/IoT seamlessly, feeling what’s important and avoiding everything else, ditching your phone dependence and augmenting life with a tool that is made for our connected Tech / AR / AI future.)
It will take time and continuous iterating to nail the perfect product — and also plenty of public educating on why Touch Ui, Haptics, Payments, & Health tracking matter… but we’re committed to showing the world that Smart Rings should be so much more than just passive health trackers.
Let us know what feature you’re most excited for, and a massive cheers to all of those here at the beginning 🥂🥳
