Hello - happy to help explain!

Desmos makes personalised NFC keepsakes that store and open private digital “stories” of photos, voice notes, letters, maps, songs and other small modules you choose. Each keepsake is a tactile object (acrylic card, anodised metal or a bespoke art-directed piece) that, when tapped with a phone, opens the private story in a browser - no app or login required.

Key points:

• Editions and pricing:
  • Classic: archival acrylic card - ₹999 (includes 12 months hosting; then ₹199/yr to keep it live).
  • Metal: anodised metal with engraving - ₹2,499 (includes lifetime hosting).
  • Bespoke: custom art-directed keepsake - from ₹4,999 (lifetime hosting, white-glove service).
• Process: choose an edition, build the story (photos, notes, modules), review a private preview and request one included refinement, then approve before paying. Production begins after approval.
• Hosting and permanence: Classic stories require yearly renewal after the first 12 months; Metal and Bespoke include lifetime hosting. The NFC tap-to-open URL remains permanent and is never reassigned.
• Privacy and control: Stories are private by default, excluded from search engines unless you opt in, and media is served with time-limited access. You can request edits after publication; small updates are handled without charge, larger redesigns are quoted.
• Delivery and support: Keepsakes typically ship about a week after approval for Classic and Metal; Bespoke runs about two weeks. Contact: hello@desmos.store (studio replies within a day). Manufacturing defects are replaced if reported within seven days of delivery.
• Refunds: Personalized keepsakes cannot be refunded after preview approval, except for manufacturing defects.

If you want, you can:

• See finished examples or compare editions on the site.
• Begin creating a story and preview it before paying.

Hi - great question.

Who this service is for

• Gift-givers creating anniversary, wedding, or everyday celebration presents that feel intimate and lasting.
• Anyone who wants a physical object (acrylic, metal, or bespoke material) that opens a private online story with a single tap - no app or login required.

What problem it solves

• Keeps fragile, scattered memories in one private, permanent place so they are easy to revisit and share with a single tap.
• Replaces fragile digital links spread across apps and devices with a stable NFC card that points to a hosted story page.
• Makes a meaningful, tactile gift that preserves stories across phones and platforms and avoids the usual app login friction.
• Offers curated production and privacy: you preview and approve the story before paying, media is private by default, and hosting options (Classic, Metal, Bespoke) cover short-term or lifetime availability.

If you want, describe the occasion and which edition you are considering (Classic, Metal, Bespoke) and I can suggest which edition might fit best.

• Modular private story format that can include photos, voice notes, letters, song playback, timelines, maps, star maps, tickets, and custom modules.
• You preview and approve the private story before paying; manufacturing only begins after approval.

The answer directly and thoroughly addresses the question with detailed, specific benefits including pricing, features, privacy, and support, supported by relevant sources; minor deductions for slight verbosity and no explicit step-by-step usage instructions.

Hi - happy to walk you through it. Below is the step‑by‑step process for creating a Desmos personalized NFC keepsake, using the service details provided.

1. Choose an edition

• Pick the physical keepsake that fits your story: Classic (₹999), Metal (₹2,499), or Bespoke (from ₹4,999). Each edition differs in material, engraving, hosting length, and turnaround. (See pricing for details.)

2. Start for free

• Begin the process without paying up front. The studio sends a private link to your email; keep it safe - it is your access to the story studio.

3. Tell your story

• Upload photographs, write notes and letters, add voice notes, milestones, modules (star maps, recipe, tickets, maps, etc.) and choose themes or mood. The service offers modular story building so you can include the elements you want.

4. Review private preview

• The studio prepares a private preview of your story site and keepsake design. You get one refinement pass included to request edits. You approve spelling, photos, layout and any engraving copy at this stage.

5. Approve before you pay

• Only after you approve the preview do you complete payment. Pricing is fixed at approval; nothing changes mid-story. Payment is handled via Razorpay and no card details are stored by Desmos.

6. Manufacturing and hosting

• After approval and payment, the keepsake is produced by hand.
• Hosting depends on edition:
  • Classic: 12 months hosting from go‑live, then ₹199/year to keep it live (the NFC address is never deleted or reassigned).
  • Metal: Lifetime hosting included.
  • Bespoke: Lifetime hosting included.
• The NFC card contains a permanent tap‑to‑open URL that opens the private story site (no app, no login).

7. Shipping and delivery

• Turnaround after approval: Classic and Metal typically ship in about 1 week; Bespoke is a white‑glove ~2‑week turnaround. Actual delivery also depends on destination.

8. Receiving and using the keepsake

• Give the keepsake to the recipient. One tap with a phone (no app needed) opens the living archive: photos, voice notes, letters, music, countdowns, secret lines, and the modules you included.

9. After launch: edits, renewals and support

• Small updates after go‑live are accommodated; larger redesigns are quoted. If you lose the private link, contact support with your order number and email to restore access.
• For Classic edition, renew hosting with the ₹199/year option to keep the story live. Metal and Bespoke require no renewals.
• If a keepsake has a manufacturing defect, contact support within 7 days for a free replacement. For other issues, reach out to hello@desmos.store.

If any of these steps need more detail - for example, what modules you can include, edition comparisons, or turnaround for a specific city - tell me which part to expand and I’ll provide the relevant details.

The answer is highly relevant and directly addresses the step-by-step process with detailed, specific information including pricing, hosting terms, and timelines, covering all major aspects a user would want to know; it also cites relevant official sources, though a slight deduction is given for minor lack of explicit step-by-step formatting in some parts.
