Development Story

The project began as a response to finger strain from long hours of scrolling during coding work.

Early prototypes experimented with alternative input methods, eventually leading to the rotary dial concept, which was borrowed from a rehabilitative exercise for knee joint pain. Over time, it became clear that the dial wasn’t just more comfortable and therapeutic; it enabled entirely new interaction patterns across different applications with faster speed and smoother control.
