What does Stream by Sandbar do?

Stream is a wearable voice ring that lets you capture thoughts, take notes, and dictate text across apps without pulling out your phone. It's a small, lightweight device you wear on your finger — push to talk, release to send, and the ring handles the rest. It works with iOS and Mac, converting speech to text in real time, so you can jot down ideas, set reminders, or even chat with an AI assistant just by whispering into the ring.

The ring connects to your phone via Bluetooth and uses a private mic designed to pick up even quiet speech. You control it with a glass touchpad — hold, tap, or swipe to trigger different actions. Haptic feedback confirms inputs silently, so you don't disturb others. The body is made from aluminum-resin, making it surprisingly light, and the custom curved battery lasts a full day. Stream also works as a universal dictation tool, letting you insert text into any app on your phone or Mac.

This is ideal for anyone who thinks on the go — writers, creators, busy professionals, or people with ADHD who need to capture ideas before they vanish. It's also handy for hands-free use while driving, cooking, or exercising. If you've ever wished you could just speak a thought and have it appear as a note or reminder, Stream makes that feel natural.
