Tomi Frame — always on, never asking for attention.
A B&W e-ink frame that shows your calendar, weather, lists and more on a physical screen. No glare, no notifications, no cable to run — it hangs on a wall, holds on metal or stands on a desk, and charges once a month.
The Tomi Frame companion app uses Google Calendar read-only access to display your upcoming events on the device. No event data is stored or shared beyond rendering it on your personal frame.
No payment is taken, and no account is created.
An actual device render — produced by the same code that draws the physical screen, including the dithering. Not an illustration.
At home
You don't need to connect a single account.
The clock, weather, lists and countdowns need nothing but WiFi. Connect Google Calendar or Spotify later if you want them — or never. These four layouts are built in, and the images are what they actually draw.
Kitchen
The time, the weather, and what you've run out of.
Family Board
Everyone's week on one wall, and how long until half term.
Shopping List
The list first, sized to be read while you're walking past.
Big Day
Days until the thing you're actually waiting for.
On the wall
A keyhole mount is included — it hangs on a single screw or picture hook, like a small frame.
On a metal surface
A back plate carrying four N52 magnets is included — it screws on and holds the frame on any magnetic surface.
On a desk or shelf
A wire stand is in the box. Nothing extra to buy, and no cable to run — it charges monthly.
Layouts
Arrange it however you think.
Drop widgets onto a six-by-four grid in the app. Every image below is a real 800×480 render, dithered exactly as the e-ink panel receives it.
Full Board
Clock, weather, calendar, GitHub, Slack and Spotify at once.
Home
Four large panels. Readable from across the room.
Markets
Three tickers with 24-hour trend lines, plus a headline.
Music
Now playing across the top, clock and weather beneath.
Transparency & Data Use
How Tomi Frame uses your accounts
Tomi Frame is a physical e-ink display that shows live information in your home. The companion app connects your accounts so the device can show your data — nothing more. We request the minimum permissions necessary for each integration.
All integrations are optional. You can connect or revoke any account at any time from the app. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
Google Calendar
calendar.readonly
Tomi Frame reads your upcoming events to display them on the e-ink screen. It never creates, edits, or deletes calendar entries.
Spotify
user-read-playback-state
Tomi Frame reads your currently playing track to show it on the device. It never changes your playback, library, or playlists.
GitHub
read:user, repo (read-only)
Tomi Frame reads your contribution streak and open PRs. It never writes to any repository or changes your account.
Slack
users:read
Tomi Frame reads your Slack status to display it on the frame. It never posts messages or modifies your workspace.
All integrations use OAuth 2.0 with read-only scopes. Your credentials are AES-256 encrypted at rest and never shared with third parties.
Everything you need, nothing you don't.
Configure your layout from the companion app. Update over WiFi. That's it.
Live Weather
Current conditions and forecast, updated automatically based on your location.
Calendar
Your next events at a glance. Connect Google Calendar in seconds.
RSS & News
Custom RSS feeds — tech news, sports scores, or anything you follow.
Crypto & Stocks
Track Bitcoin, Ethereum, and major indices without opening your phone.
Art Mode
When you're away, display curated artwork or your own photos. 50+ images, all free.
Minimal Clock
A full-screen clock with clean typography. Perfect for bedside or kitchen.

E-ink — also called electronic paper, or e-paper — is a reflective display technology: the screen emits no light of its own, and it only draws power while the image is changing. That is why there is no glare, why it stays readable in direct sunlight, and why one charge lasts a month.
Specifications are from the current prototype and may change before production.
