Vonder, a new eyewear brand from the co-founders of XR maker Viture, has unveiled a debut collection built around one promise: nothing gets recorded unless the wearer chooses to record it.

There is no camera to film with and no display to read. Capture runs through a bone conduction pickup tucked at the tip of each arm, isolating the speaker from the chatter around them before anything leaves the frame. Audio never rests on the device: it is transcribed, then dropped. Storage is encrypted to a banking standard, nothing is sold on, and the app offers a single-tap purge.

A physical Meeting Mode switch moves capture from bone conduction to four microphones, two facing forward and two angled downward, for notes and lectures. Flipping it also lights a visible indicator so people nearby know a conversation is being logged.

On the software side, Vonder calls its knowledge base the Personal Memory Graph, described as a living map shaped by the wearer’s notes and recurring context. Requests route through whichever model fits, with Gemini, Claude and ChatGPT among the options.

The hardware aims to look ordinary. Six frame shapes and three colors, under 30g, prescription-ready from single vision to progressives, with 16-plus hours of battery, an 80% charge in 25 minutes and an IP54 rating.

Vonder opens its books on September 28 at 9am ET. Pricing starts at $299, the brand sells direct and via Best Buy, and the first pairs are due in November.
