About Sandbar
Sandbar is an interface company in New York City. We aim to augment individuals in an agentic world-to think, act, and move freely. Our team has built SW, ML, and HW products across Meta, CTRL-labs, Google, Apple, Fitbit, Peloton, and Equinox.
Our first product, Stream, is a new human-agent interface-a private voice ring and conversational computer. Stream has been featured in WSJ, Bloomberg, & Wired, and begins shipping in Summer '26.
Join us in creating a new interface for self augmentation.
