FAQ
It's a play on 時計 (tokei), the Japanese word for watch or clock. We swapped the "to" for a "2"-a digital nod to a very classic idea.
2kei isn't a native app - it's a PWA (Progressive Web App), which means it runs directly in your browser without needing an app store. Think of it as a website that behaves like an app: it works on any device, always up to date, and no downloads needed. The best part? You can still add it to your home screen and use it just like a regular app. See the next question for how.
iOS (Safari)
- Log into 2kei.app
- Tap the Share icon at the bottom.
- Scroll down the menu.
- Tap 'Add to Home Screen'.
Android (Chrome)
- Log into 2kei.app
- Tap the Menu (⋮) in the top right.
- Tap 'Add to Home screen'.
Just upload a quick photo of your watch. Our AI magically extracts the dial and places it on a clean, dark background for a perfect studio look. You'll always get a side-by-side preview to decide if you want to keep the AI version or stick with your original shot.
Honestly? The success rate is under the ground right now. If you insist on using it, review the details twice. We're trying to make it smarter, but it's a long way off.
The Free plan supports up to 25 watches and 3 AI dial renders. A Pro plan is coming soon with 100 watches, 100 AI renders / month, and 10 photos per watch. Beta testers keep their existing higher limits.
Signups are open — head to the sign-in page, enter your email or continue with Google, and your Free account is ready. No invite needed.
Add 2kei to your home screen, then go to your profile on mobile and enable notifications. We hate spam as much as you do, so we'll only ping you for what you explicitly ask for.
We use magic links to keep things simple and secure. Just enter your email, and we'll send you a direct link to sign in. No passwords to remember (or forget).
You can, we can't stop you. Our love is on digital watches, but we welcome all watch nerds.
There will always be a free tier. A Pro plan is coming soon for collectors who need higher limits and extra features like the accuracy tracker and public collection page. Beta testers always have a special place.
That's the spirit! We'll be sending out short, painless surveys via email once a month. But you don't have to wait for those-feel free to drop us a line at hello@2kei.app anytime an idea strikes.
