The idea

Start with
an everyday moment.

Meals happen around work, travel, family, and conversation. The idea behind the Pod is to capture a few words while the meal is still fresh in your mind, and leave space to review the details later.

The necklace and planned app serve different parts of that routine: capture in the moment, review with context.

Aspera.
Behind the Pod.

Aspera was founded by a group of young technologists based in New York and the Midwest, with a shared ambition to change how people understand and care for themselves. We’re starting with nutrition, building tools that make everyday habits easier to understand.

A few things
we’re designing for.

Deliberate capture

A press-and-hold interaction that makes the recording moment intentional.

Room for context

A food description can leave things out. Review should make those gaps easy to see and correct.

A traceable entry

Keep the meal and portion details close to the estimated nutrition they produce.

We’re in the early stages of development, working on a Pod prototype and shaping the companion app. We’re focused on bringing the hardware and software together into a simple, everyday experience.
