5 Stars
Fun device that makes life simpler, not more complex
- Dylan Book
Really impressed.
After 24 hours of using my TRMNL, I’m really impressed. The device looks great, the UI is smooth, and the overall experience is excellent. There’s always room for improvement, but you’ve done a fantastic job creating a solid foundation to build on.
- Gregory
Marvelous!
I got this as a gift for a tech enthusiast. He has been thrilled with the ink display and has been working to customize it with the developer edition.
- Chris Jacobson
A big thumbs up.
I can only tell you that my son in law was happy to get this for Christmas [...] it was a big hit. So it gets 5 stars from me.
- Jennifer Kingston
Phenomenal!
Easy to set up, does what it is supposed to, and easy to develop personal apps for using basic web technologies. If you’re looking for a e-ink dashboard but don’t want to solder or root a kindle, this is what you are looking for.
- Jacob Field
Works great.
Creating a custom plugin takes trial and error. [...] I'm happy with the build quality and the website is excellent. This is a quality product.
- Natasha Naveed
Everything is perfect!
I am delighted with both the product and the attention received. It is a device that you don't know how much you needed until you have it. In my case, it helps me a lot with organization and concentration. On the other hand, the commitment of Ryan and his team is worth mentioning. Very present throughout the entire process: sales, support, development, improvements... 5 stars are not enough to evaluate this team.

Great device!
TRMNL is a great companion device that keeps me informed of the things that matter most to me. Using an e-ink display is very innovative, it's an improvement over traditional led matrix displays in the sense that it can fit more information on the screen, it's easier to read and the batter lasts for months! I got the Developer edition and I love how easy it is for me to build my own apps.
- Daniel Sitnik
A great piece of tech to start my morning
Such a great simple device that offers me insight into what to expect for my day and what to look forward to for the rest of the week. I've only really used the calendar but plan on making my own app soon.
- Carlos Flores
Works as described
To help my kids get ready in the evening and morning I use the Weather plugin to help them get dressed and the 'custom text' plugin to write down what the plan is for the day. I used a command strip to place it in the hallway and it has been working great.

Does what it says it will without apps, bluetooth, complexity or nonsense
I had been on the hunt for an e-ink calendar - they were all prohibitively expensive, or exceedingly complex, or relied on some very fishy app connection. I mean I think I'm a pretty clever guy but I am not capable of the coding and programming needed for so many of the DIY options.Saw TRMNL. Bought TRMNL. It's perfect. Sits on my desk, tells me weather and my calendar, and updates only when it needs to.Despite what marketing tells us - we don't actually need every device to do every thing. TRMNL does what it says it will, does it well, and without extraneous nonsense. Perfect.

Made for the minimalist generalist
Once you have setup your TRMNL, it is pretty straightforward to add plugins from the dashboard and add them to your playlist where these will be displayed.As a minimalist it is easy for me to look at my items at glance and not be bothered by other distractions on my phone: if you do some time blocking on your calendar then I highly recommend adding your calendar through the plugin to see all upcoming events.Beyond that the widgets for weather and custom text are my favourite; planning to use many of the other plugins for it.
- Anthony Mendes
Wonderful!
Sleek device with easy browser-based customization options. Most importantly, responsive support who really care about the customer experience. Overall, it’s a neat, e-ink productivity enhancer run by a team of people who are truly curious/engaged in their craft.

Just got mine, and I already love it
I backed TRMNL on Kickstarter, and I was pleasantly surprised to receive my order today (10/17/24) which is a month and a half ahead of the expected delivery date of December 2024. Setup was easy, the device came fully charged, and I've even started tinkering around with creating custom plugins already. I don't know if people realize how insanely difficult it is to bring a hardware product to market, and Kickstarter is rife with crowdfunding efforts where the supporters were burned. This is not one of them, pretty obviously. The actual display is really high quality--if I didn't know better, I would assume it was a fully overseas-manufactured and assembled device!Kudos to Ryan and his team for bringing this thing together. I'm impressed. Try it, I think you'll like it.

CRUSHED IT
By far the best Kickerstarter I've ever been a part of. Polish is what you'd expect from a commercial enterprise with a few products under their belt. Flawless setup, excellent UX. Phenomenal.
