When I first began designing Sendrel, I imagined a singular device—a quiet terminal for trust-first, offline messaging. But as the design matured, I realized the strength of Sendrel wasn’t just in its functionality, but in its adaptability.
That realization led me to expand Sendrel into a suite of devices, each shaped by different use cases.
- Sendrel Core: Something you can rely on, a central device to store and back up message threads.
- Sendrel Terra: Built for outdoor deployment, disaster coordination, off-grid communication
- Sendrel Zephyr: A pocketable companion for everyday mobility, balancing simplicity with presence
Each form factor shares a common soul: no cloud, no surveillance, no assumptions. Just presence, trust, and consent.
I didn’t want Sendrel to scale like software—I wanted it to echo like stories told in different voices. Different needs call for different tools, but the core values never change.
I still plan to begin with Sendrel Core—formerly the Sendrel Terminal—to deepen my understanding of the system’s behavior before shaping the more complex forms.
