ambielo+ — a slim ivory cylinder with a copper crown

ambielo+ $299

helps you into it, and out of it.

  • everything in ambielo, and:
  • a light before the alarm
  • a chime from the nightstand, not your phone
  • a clock, and a touch to stop the morning
  • a riser that aims it at the bed

before you decide

the whole picture, in plain words.

what's true today, and what isn't yet

most pages like this only show you the left column. here is both, because you're putting money on an unfinished thing and you deserve the whole picture.

TRUE TODAY

  • hand-built units are in real bedrooms tonight, in three cities, running unattended.
  • it reads your breath and heart from an arm's length away. nothing worn, no camera, no microphone.
  • the morning gives you one plain sentence. never a score, never a grade.
  • the app runs on an iphone today, on testflight, in those same bedrooms.
  • your data stays yours — held locally, never sold, never anyone else's business.

NOT TRUE YET

  • the light that breathes with you as you fall asleep is designed, not yet in the units that are in bedrooms tonight.
  • the wake at a light moment inside your window is built and not yet proven across real mornings. today, it's an alarm at the time you set.
  • there is no factory. the first hundred are built by hand, by me, in two waves of fifty.
  • the enclosure is still 3d-printed. the manufactured one is being designed now.
  • radio certification isn't done. it has to be before anything ships.
  • the app isn't in the app store yet — you'd start on testflight, and android comes later.
  • pro, the optional part of the app, isn't something you can pay for yet.
  • nothing ships before mid-2027. if you need help sleeping tonight, this isn't that.
  • it could still fail. five bedrooms decide that this autumn, and i'll tell you either way.

i'd rather have a hundred people who know exactly what they're buying than a thousand who found out later.

where your dollar sits

a dollar here is not a purchase, not a down payment and not an investment. it's a numbered place in the first hundred. it sits in the company's bank account, untouched, and it stays yours. when yours is ready, you choose: it comes back to you, or it goes toward your ambielo. nothing is ever charged on its own.

the build is funded by me, out of a normal paycheck, the same way it has been all year. that's slower than raising money, and it's the reason i can promise you the dollar is safe: i never planned to spend it.

to get it back early: write hello@ambielo.com with the word refund. no form, no call, no "are you sure?". it's returned the same week.

this isn't for you if…
  • you want a sleep score. we will never give you one — not hidden in a menu, not "just for reference." that's the entire point of the company.
  • you want it soon. this is a mid-2027 object.
  • you want a medical device. it isn't one, it doesn't diagnose anything, and it won't tell you whether to see a doctor.
  • you already sleep well. genuinely — keep your dollar.
the plan, with dates

these are the real internal dates. if one moves, you'll get an email that says it moved and why — not silence.

AUTUMN 2026five homes decide whether people actually use it every night. go, or back to the bench.
WINTER 2026the manufactured enclosure, the certification work, the app in the app store.
JANUARY 2027the store opens to everyone. you're already ahead of them in line.
MID-2027the first hundred ship in two waves of fifty, offered first to the list in the order places were saved — with a date on each wave, and an email if a date moves.

— cesar, orlando. built at night, after work.

the things people ask

why a dollar?

the list is free, and it's a real way in — you'll hear from me when it's ready. the dollar is for people who want a numbered place in the first hundred, ahead of the list. it's the smallest thing that means you'd actually buy one, and it goes back to you the moment you ask.

is the $1 a down payment?

no. it's a place in the first hundred, not the start of a charge. when yours is ready, you choose: take the dollar back, or put it toward your ambielo. nothing is ever charged on its own.

what's the difference between the list and the first hundred?

the list is free: an email, and a note from me when it's ready. the first hundred are the first units built, offered in the order places were held — and a place there is $1, refundable any day.

why only a hundred?

because i build them by hand, and a hundred in two waves is what one person can do properly. it isn't a marketing number and there's no countdown on this page. when it's full, this page will simply say so.

what if you never ship?

you get your dollar back. that's why it's held and not spent — so that promise costs nothing to keep.

is there a camera or a microphone?

no. nothing that records the room. it senses movement in the air the way a radar does, and that's all it can do.

do i have to wear anything?

no. nothing on your wrist, nothing under the mattress. it sits on the nightstand, an arm's length from you.

what's the difference between the two?

ambielo reads the night, gives you the morning sentence, and guides your breathing at bedtime. ambielo+ adds the wake: a light that comes up before the sound, a chime from the nightstand instead of your phone, the time on its face, a touch to stop the morning, and a riser that aims it at the bed.

do i have to pay a subscription?

no. the device and everything it does for your nights work without one, for as long as you own it. pro is optional — coaching and habits in the app — and your first year of it is included. its price is set before the store opens.

can i change my mind?

yes, at any moment. joining the list or holding a place doesn't commit you to buying — when it's ready, you choose.

be the first to have an ambielo.

a place in the first hundred is $1 — refundable, and yours to put toward it.
