Storage was rented. We made it light.
Onyx Box seals your photos, videos and songs on your iPhone, keeps them safe at home, and lets your phone carry almost nothing. Small files save energy, save money, and keep a lifetime of memories affordable.
Your first ten saves cost nothing. One save is one photo, video or song.
Unlimited Saves. Keep saving past ten, as much as you like.
What one box holds. Fill it and a second box is $1.99.
From your camera roll to home, in seven steps.
- 01
Pick your moments
Tap the pad and choose up to 30 photos, videos or songs at a time. Onyx reads only what you pick. Your originals in Photos are never changed or moved.
- 02
Each one is sealed on your iPhone
Every item becomes its own sealed file, with its origin, the day it was sealed, and its fingerprint. Open one later and, once its seal checks out, it shows you where it came from.
- 03
It goes home
In the background, each sealed item travels to your home on Onyx's floor, then is pulled back and checked byte for byte. Nothing else happens until home is proven.
- 04
Your phone lets go
Once it's proven home, your phone lets go of the heavy copy. What stays is the atom, a tiny sealed file that knows exactly what it points to, and its tile, so your library still looks like your library.
- 05
Open it and it beams back
Tap a tile and the photo or video beams back from home, checked against its own seal before it plays. If a byte arrives wounded, its shield rebuilds it. If it can't be proven, it's refused, never shown wrong.
- 06
Share it like anything else
Share a photo or video and it leaves as a normal file anyone can open. Songs stay with you: listen in one place, no sharing.
- 07
It keeps itself clean
A few seconds after every drop, and every so often while you use it, Onyx clears its own scratch space and anything already safe at home. No copies piling up behind your back.
Onyx is a Floor Provider.
Think of the floor like a hard drive you plug your phone into, except it's made of binary, and your phone never has to carry it. Your box sits on the floor. Your phone keeps the atom. When you want a moment, it comes up off the floor and back into your hand.
And it's yours alone. The only one who sees your moments is you. We never look at them, not on your phone and not on the floor, even when they're backed up. They're filed under a random key, not your name. No ads. No tracking. We just give you the means to keep them.
That's all you need to know to use it. The rest is ours to worry about.
For decades, storage has been sold like a meter: pay more, get more, and the moment you stop paying, you start deleting. Most people pay for storage for years and still run out of room.
We built Onyx to change what a file weighs. Reduce each moment to its essence, seal it, keep it safe at home, and let the phone hold only what it needs. No account, no ads.
Memories aren't files. They're the people, places, and moments you don't get back. They deserve to be kept, not rationed.
