The kyu camera is a device that allows you to focus on the people and experiences of the moment, rather than just taking pictures. By carrying this camera, everyday scenery on your usual walking paths, the landscapes you pause to admire during travels, and the casual interactions with friends and family are imprinted in your heart as special moments of "now."
In an era dominated by smartphones and social media, having the kyu camera gives you an opportunity to rethink how you preserve memories.

Enjoy the moment

The greatest feature of the kyu camera is its simple operation, designed to let you focus entirely on "the moment." Taking a shot requires nothing more than pressing a single button. This intuitive operation ensures that the recorder isn't preoccupied with the act of shooting itself but can fully savor the moment while capturing it. Whether it’s a quiet moment on the beach with friends or the sky you notice while walking down the street, you only need to press the button to etch those heartfelt moments into video memories.

Moreover, the kyu camera allows up to 27 recordings per day, with each video capped at a maximum of 9 seconds. This encourages a more deliberate selection of what to capture. The footage is finished with subdued, nostalgic tones, and when you revisit these videos, the warmth and atmosphere of that moment naturally come flooding back, resonating as genuine memories just as they were.

Memories shape us

The kyu camera is not just for "recording" but for preserving memories that remain unchanged over time. Unlike the all-in-one convenience of a smartphone, carrying the kyu camera intentionally helps you engage with what’s happening in front of you and directs your awareness to the present moment. For instance, a weekend spent with family or a lively conversation during a reunion with friends can be transformed into special memories that speak to your future self through the lens of the kyu camera.

The videos you capture can be imported into the kyu app and seamlessly shared with family, friends, or a partner via QR codes or dedicated links. While the camera doesn’t produce envy-inducing, highly creative videos, it allows you to create highlight reels of multiple clips with a single tap. This makes it easy to relive the joy of looking back on your memories through video. The combination of the kyu camera and kyu app ensures that your cherished memories can be revisited securely and exclusively with those who matter most, free from outside interference.

The minimalistic design subtly complements the style and values of the user. Its pocket-sized compactness and streamlined form embody the desire to preserve simple, authentic moments just as they are.

Just-Enough is the key

The kyu camera is built around the concept of "Just Enough," with a design philosophy that values the true essence of memories.

We believe the value of memories is defined by "connections with others, the passage of time, and the act of reliving them." Rather than chasing excessive specs or features, we focused on capturing the atmosphere and emotions of the moment exactly as they are.

While it’s not a high-performance camera packed with the latest technology, the moments etched into its videos resonate warmly over time, creating an experience that gently speaks to your future self and the people you hold dear.
