CRUSH is Purposely Uncomplicated

Every day, brilliant ideas, random thoughts, and basic tasks slip through our fingers. We have busy lives. Traditional methods of capturing these thoughts are too slow and too disruptive. Finding your phone, unlocking, finding an app… thought gone. CRUSH fills the enormous gap.

Our Timeline

The Genesis of CRUSH – A Purpose-Built Device

Our journey began with one challenge and one objective: Capture any fleeting thought or conversation without breaking stride or flow. And how to do it faster than any existing technology. We contemplated size, shape, battery life, but most importantly ease of use. A single button to start and stop recording and a lock to prevent pocket dials. Everyone should be able to use this without investing in learning. It needed to be familiar and have features that gives the user feedback. Integrating AI was the breakthrough we needed, transforming CRUSH from a simple recorder into an intelligent assistant. We redesigned from the ground up three times all of the as we learned about all of the use cases that evolved.

Developing CRUSH has not been easy. Hardware is notoriously difficult, and the iOS, Android, and Web app added layers of complexity. Getting everything to talk reliably is not easy. We have had to overcome hard engineering problems, learn new skills, and rewrite the entire codebase from scratch when we learned into what CRUSH would become and who would be using it. There is a reason why CRUSH has not existed before, it’s complex and expensive. That only encouraged us.
