Astrolabe Pocket
Celestial companion for orientation, time, and rhythm wherever you go.
Astrolabe is the instrument
One module. Many humane rhythms.
A shared 1.75-inch round module becomes a pocket companion, desktop dock, musical breath interface, pendant, mindfulness band, or spatial compass. Each form is built to orient, remember, listen, and then hand attention back to life outside the device.
Astrolabe LunaSay
Lunar and astrological companion for reflection, insight, and timing.
Astrolabe Ocarina
Breath and music companion for calm, tone, and harmony.
Astrolabe Cameo
Memory and presence companion for remembrance, honor, and connection.
Coming soon
Astrolabe Enso
Focus and mindfulness companion for clarity, presence, and flow.
Coming soon
Astrolabe LuoPan
Compass and geomancy companion for direction, alignment, and space.
Faculty-guided design
Built to protect attention, not harvest it.
Inquirer Volume IV gives Astrolabe a stricter product rule: AI may assist, retrieve, rehearse, and remember, but the watch must preserve human judgment, source trails, protected silence, and real-world handoff.
Thresholds
Know the mode
Local, cloud, faculty, journal, and shared states should be visible before the user crosses them.
Provenance
Trace the answer
Generated replies, readings, and summaries should keep compact source, route, prompt, and human-action records.
Recollection
Let silence count
Rest, reading, studio, sabbath, and seminar blocks reduce prompts and treat non-use as successful use.
Handoff
Return outward
The best flow often ends in a saved note, a source card, a conversation, a class, a meal, prayer, or sleep.
Design brief: Faculty-Guided Astrolabe
Carry the sky
Keep time, moon phase, transits, and bounded Castalia voice answers in a round pocket-watch form.
Desktop dock
Return to reflection
Dock to charge, remember, and prepare without turning reflection into another feed.
Breath / music
Make calm audible
Use breath, touch, and motion sensors to shape simple musical and focus rituals.
Pendant
Wear memory close
Carry memory, quotes, faculty questions, and human-first commonplace notes close to your heart.
Common architecture
Voice. Memory. Presence.
All Astrolabe devices share a unified round module and magnetic dock integration. The shell changes the rhythm; the core hardware and firmware lineage stay familiar.
Module
1.75-inch round AMOLED, USB-C charging and data, Wi-Fi, BLE, and offline-capable firmware.
Sensors
Temperature, heart-rate/PPG, respiration, accelerometer, ambient light, sound, and pressure pathways.
Docking
Magnetic alignment, secure hold, charging display, and keyed orientation for accessory shells.
Interface
Touch, side buttons, speaker, microphone, and I2C expansion for mount and electrode accessories.
Variant feature matrix
Hardware capabilities and face families by release.
Each release pairs a device platform with a firmware variant, NVS identity, OTA channel, hardware capability set, and default face family.
Founding batch
Navigate yourself and your world.
The first Astrolabe run centers on the Pocket and LunaSay configurations, with Ocarina, Cameo, Enso, and LuoPan shaping an accessory roadmap governed by attention, provenance, recollection, and human handoff.
