Why it's different

A screen that behaves like paper

E-ink only draws power at the moment the picture changes. The rest of the time it costs nothing to hold an image — which is why a Cherikey has no battery at all.

A simulation of the real screen. Your photo stays on your device.

Three taps, done

Pick a photo. Tap. Carry it.

Watch what happens when a phone touches a Cherikey. The screen takes its power from the phone, redraws, and keeps the picture for good.

Download the app and choose your picture

Download the app NFC E-Tag, pick any photo from your camera roll, and crop it the way you want.

Hold it to your phone

Hold the Cherikey on top of the phone. The transfer takes a few seconds — no pairing, no Wi-Fi, no account required.

It stays, forever

The image holds with the power off. Leave it in a drawer for a year and it looks exactly the same when you find it again.

The range

One for you, or one for everyone

Buy a single Cherikey, a Duo for the two of you, or a Family Pack of four for the whole house.

Who's it for?

Anyone with a photo they'd rather carry than keep on a shelf.

For the two of you

The anniversary gift that stays on their keys

Flowers wilt. A framed photo sits on a shelf at home. A Cherikey goes where they go — to work, on the trip, into the pocket of the coat they wear every day.

  • Put your own photo and date on the screen before you wrap it
  • They can change it any time from their own phone
  • Duo pack gives you a matching pair

Not just people

Your pet. Your art. Your whole feed.

Cherikey doesn't care what the picture is. Customers carry their pets, their kids, their favourite album cover, the character they're drawing this month, the view from a trip they're still thinking about.

  • Swap the image as often as you like — there's no wear on the screen
  • Colourful e-ink renders photos and artwork beautifully

How it compares

Why not a printed keychain?

Printed photo keychains fade and can never be changed. Small LCD frames need charging every few days. Cherikey sits in between — and outlasts both.

What people carry

★★★★★

“I gave one to my partner for our anniversary with a photo from the day we met. He's had it on his keys for eight months and it still looks exactly the same.”

★★★★★

“Bought it for my dog's photo, honestly expected a gimmick. The e-ink looks like a little etched print. Three people at work have ordered one.”

DTDevon T.Verified buyer
★★★★★

“The no-battery thing is the whole point. I've had gadgets like this before and they die in a drawer. This one just works whenever I pick it up.”

Good to know

Questions we get a lot

How does it work without a battery?

The NFC chip in your phone puts out a small electromagnetic field. Cherikey harvests that field for the couple of seconds it takes to redraw the screen, then goes completely dead — and e-ink holds its last image with no power at all.

What do the photos look like on e-ink?

Your photo appears on a colourful e-ink display. The app converts it automatically — the result reads like a fine screen print. Portraits, pets and bold artwork look particularly good.

How long does shipping take?

Most orders are delivered within 5–12 business days, depending on location. Shipping is free and fast worldwide on all orders.
