Overview
- Preorders opened December 9 at $75, with the price set to rise to $99 after the preorder period.
- Made of stainless steel with a single button and microphone, the ring stores about five minutes of audio, is water-resistant to 1 meter, comes in three colors and US sizes 6–13, and does not track health or sleep.
- The non‑rechargeable hearing‑aid style battery supports roughly 12–14 hours of total recording over years of typical use, with a company recycling program for end‑of‑life units.
- Transcription runs on the paired phone using open‑source speech‑to‑text and an on‑device LLM with support for 99+ languages, and an optional cloud backup is planned.
- The open‑source, hackable platform enables programmable button actions and community integrations, as Pebble positions the no‑subscription Index 01 against pricier, subscription‑based rings like Sandbar’s Stream Ring.
