Hi Product Hunt — Jean here, founder of Lovebox.
Ten years ago I built a little wooden box with a heart that spins when someone you love is thinking of you. I made the first one for my girlfriend in Paris while I was a postdoc at MIT, an ocean away from her. Since then our small team has shipped 300,000+ Loveboxes to 40+ countries, and people have sent more than 26 million notes through them.
For ten years, the same email kept landing in our inbox: "I love my Lovebox. I wish I could take it with me."
KEEP is that wish, built. It's a connected keychain with a 2.13" e-ink screen. Someone who loves you writes a note in the app — a few words, a doodle, a sticker — you hold your phone to the keychain for a second, and it appears (it's not magic, it's NFC-powered). No WiFi, no Bluetooth, no battery to charge on the device. Just a piece of someone you love, with you wherever you go.
We're live on Kickstarter right now — back where Lovebox began in 2017 — launching at a discounted price, and already in the hands of 30 happy beta testers. I'll be here all day to answer everything.
KEEP started as something between two people, but the more we build it the further it wants to go — and this is exactly the crowd I want to think out loud with. I love using Product Hunt to pressure-test where a product could go next, not just to launch it as-is. So here are a few directions we're opening up, and I'd genuinely love your take on them:
- Broadcast to a group: hand a KEEP to a whole team — or to clients you've gifted one — and send a single note that lands on every keychain at the same moment.
- An open API: we're building it now, so you can wire KEEP into your own tools, milestones and workflows, and trigger notes programmatically.
- A version with its own battery: so a KEEP could update on its own over time, showing new messages even when no phone is near to tap it.
Which of these would you actually use — and what would you make KEEP do? I'm reading every reply today.
I have had a Lovebox from the very beginning and I love it. I was looking for something portable to use while my husband an I travel. It's perfect for that. We also used it around the house as a special hidden surprise for love notes to each other.
The detail that got me is the "no battery, nothing to check" part. You removed every reason to anxiously refresh, so the note just exists when you happen to glance at it. I work on voice AI that keeps adult kids in touch with their aging parents, and the same thing keeps proving true: presence beats notifications, and people want to feel close without another feed to manage. On the broadcast-to-a-group idea, my one worry is that one-to-one is exactly what makes a KEEP feel like a person and not a channel. Have you tested whether a shared KEEP still feels personal, or does the magic dilute once it goes many-to-one?

Who hunted KEEP?
KEEP was hunted by Jean Gregoire. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
