We believe technology should enhance your life without demanding your attention. Our e-ink dashboard is designed to provide information you need at a glance, without the endless notifications from traditional screens.
Our team comes from diverse backgrounds in hardware, software, and design, united by a passion for creating products that respect your time and privacy.
TRMNL has been growing since launch in July 2024. Highlight each person to see their impact. In addition to the core team, several logistic members and open source contributers have also helped make TRMNL the premier e-ink dashboard.
