About

TRMNL OG
Est. 2023

TRMNL was founded with a simple but powerful vision: to help people stay focused and calm in an increasingly distracting world.

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.
