To our generous supporters,

On behalf of everyone involved with Link, I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to those of you who have supported our campaign so far. It is truly incredibly to think that of all the ideas and campaigns you could support, you chose to back ours.

Link will forever change the way people carry, stream and share data. It will break down the barriers of current methods and truly enable communication without limitations. This is no small feat and we feel a great sense of responsibility to provide the best device we possibly can. That is why we’ve chosen to end this current campaign.

We want to assure you, our supporters, and anyone else who may learn about us in the coming weeks and months that we are fully committed to developing and launching Link. In the time since we launched our campaign, we’ve been working tirelessly to spread the message and have received some early feedback from experts in the field that we respect and trust, and from you – our supporters. This was always a part of our original game plan and it has proven to be more valuable than we could have predicted.

Thanks to this feedback, we’ve decided that we need to hit the pause button for a bit to ensure we are creating the best version of Link we possibly can. We are not slowing down; in fact, closing this campaign gives us the time to perfect the technology, iron out any potentially issues and make the most visually appealing device we can. With that in mind, we ask you to visit this questionnaire to rate the 20 designs we’re considering and answer a few brief questions at the end. Your input will directly impact Link’s new look and feel.

We will be launching a new IndieGoGo campaign in October and there will be no stopping us from reaching our goal to bring Link to the masses. We are so excited to share this technology with the world and your early support means so much to us.

We will update this page when our new launch date is official. A sincere thanks again for everything. Please feel free to reach out to me directly if you have any questions or feedback – I truly do value your opinion.

Thanks and best,

Coy Christmas, Co-Founder & CEO


Link is a wireless wristband with up to 1TB of SSD storage—to keep those important files safe while you’re on the go.  

The band is designed to strip away restrictions from your media. Use Link and its app counterpart to stream any file to any device, without any wires or an internet connection.

As many as 20 devices can connect to one wristband and up to seven can seamlessly stream from it.

Link works with all devices 

Link isn't affected by changes to device hardware or software so you can upgrade your phone, tablet and laptop, or swap device platforms, without losing a single file. 

With your wristband, play iTunes files on an Android device, watch Windows movies on your Apple tablet or view all of your saved files on any device you're using



No more downloading the same song for different platforms or forgetting that important document on a broken device. Link keeps all your data in one secure place.   

Link is currently in a working prototype stage  

The wristband you see throughout our campaign is our prototype model, which shows how we can practically use the technology we have. When you pre-order Link, the wristband you’ll receive will be visually slicker and smaller than our prototype but still packed with the features that let you carry your memories wherever you roam.

By focussing on the technology first, it allows us to stress-test Link and iron out any potential issues before you receive your wristband.

You’ll be joining our beta as early adopters, which means you’ll have an input into how Link develops in future, helping us to design and develop the wristband to fit your lifestyle.

Pre-order your Link band

For Link’s early adopters, you’ll exclusively receive the only models made this year.

By pre-ordering through our campaign, you’ll be getting your hands on Link before anyone else as the wristband won’t retail to the mass market until 2016.

We’re also offering free upgrades to Link’s 2016 model to make sure you have the most up-to-date hardware and software available.

By pre-ordering Link, you are supporting us to get this to market (read more about timeline below!)—thank you.

Link is for storage

For wandering photographers, use Link to keep that once-in-a-lifetime shot safe.

Automatically transfer photos as you take them, so you can snap without worrying about making backups.

Save any file type and access them from your devices without any wires. 

Below is a rough estimate of how many files you can fit on each Link band: 

Link is for sharing

For media junkies, seamlessly stream from your Link wristband to any device.

Let your friends listen to your iTunes playlists, read your work documents or giggle at those embarrassing GoPro videos on their TV, tablet or phone.  

Share all files types across all devices without any restrictions.

Link is for security

For your business on-the-go, keep your digital life secure by storing your private files offline.

Link protects your work documents while you’re on the move, storing them in one secure place so you can keep your laptop free of confidential files. 

Your wristband communicates directly with its app counterpart so there won’t be a trace of your data left on the device you’re using.  


How Link works 

Link uses peer to peer communication to send or stream files. 

Your wristband speaks directly to your devices, rather than using an internet connection or your router, which creates an easy and quick way to share offline.

When streaming, Link uses its app counterpart which removes the restrictions caused by file types and different platforms. This allows users to wirelessly stream any file type stored on their wristband to any device. 

For solid security, your wristband only communicates with the app, meaning there is no trace of data left on the device you’re using. This leaves no digital imprint, helping to keep your data completely safe from hackers or online threats.


A closer look at Link


Link’s timeline

Where your funds are going

We’ve already taken some huge steps with Link, now we need your help to reach our final goal. 

Link was officially unveiled to the world as a prototype at CES 2015.


To finalise the wristband itself, our team is currently hard at work putting Link’s software and hardware through rigorous testing.
We’ve also built brilliant relationships with our materials suppliers who we’ll work closely with until launch to make sure you receive your wristband within our timeline.



Your contributions will help us fund our production parts (such as wifi chips, SSDs and PCBs), our tooling and refined stress testing of the wristband. All of these combined will allow us to release Link as a viable product for all ages to use, wherever they roam.


Risks and challenges

With the manufacture of any product, risks can always happen unexpectedly—from material ordering setbacks to a shortage of semiconductors.

Our team is working closely with Link vendors to minimize any production challenges we may face. By creating these strong relationships with suppliers, we're confident that we've addressed any possible setbacks and accounted for them within our shipping time frame. 

As a company, it is absolutely imperative for us to meet our product goals without compromising on the quality or performance of Link. For our contributors, this means we're committed to making sure you receive your wristband on time, for you to use straight from the box.
