We envision a home ecosystem where technology doesn't demand your attention, it works invisibly to deliver peace of mind and order.
Leaving home is a small moment with a lot going on. The badge you always forget, the lunch in the fridge, the umbrella you'll only think of when you're already outside. The thing you swore you'd remember this time.
Phone reminders fire too early and get swiped away on reflex. Post-its become wallpaper after two weeks. AirTag tells you where your keys are. Not what you were supposed to bring.
Dory is a quiet object for that moment. A checkpoint at the one place you always pass through, at the one moment you can still turn around.
Five principles we keep coming back to.
Fewer steps. Less friction. Nothing in the way of leaving.
An object you'd want on your console, not a gadget.
Your data stays yours. No surveillance, no surprises.
Real testers, honest feedback, weekly iteration.
Ship when it's right. Talk when we have something to say.
A small, cross-functional team across product design, software, and business. Trained between Milano and Melbourne, building Dory together from the ground up.
