How it works

Thought to paper in three seconds.

Thermal printing has been the backbone of receipts and shipping labels for forty years because it never jams and never runs dry. We shrank it to the size of a coaster.

  1. 01

    Pair once

    Flip the lid, hold the button, and the app finds it over Bluetooth 5.3 in about four seconds. No accounts, no drivers, no cables.

  2. 02

    Pick anything

    A photo, a note, a checklist, a QR code, a receipt, a page of your journal. Crop it, adjust the contrast, choose a density.

  3. 03

    Tear and stick

    Heat does the printing — no ink, no toner, no ribbon. Peel the backing on sticker rolls and it lives wherever you put it.

Ideas

One tiny machine, a thousand small rituals.

Your handwriting, plus receipts of your life

Print the ticket stub, the map pin, the song you had on repeat. Sticker rolls peel clean and stay put for years.

Order

How many do you need?

Every order ships the same business day from Rotterdam or Newark. One printer is plenty for a desk — most people come back for a second, so the multi-packs cost less per unit.

Questions

The honest answers.

  • Correct. Direct thermal printing uses a heated head to darken coated paper, so the only consumable is the paper itself. Rolls are $3 each and about 200 prints long.
