Tiny Tomte

Live widgets, lit by your room.

A small screen for your home that's alive: the seconds tick, widgets change in an instant and the buttons answer the moment you press them. It doesn't glow. It reflects the light in your room.

It's not e-ink.

Answers the moment you press a button
The seconds tick, like a real clock
No black flash when the picture changes

E-ink takes a moment to redraw and often flashes black. This screen simply changes.

Which one is you?

A few ideas to start with. Tap a widget to try it live in your browser.

Home routine
On your way out: the weather, your week and what's left to buy.
Health and habits
Water, a walk, lights out by eleven: the screen asks “Done?” and keeps your streak going.
SoonBreathing, Yoga
Learning a language
A new word with your morning coffee and a minute of flashcards while the kettle boils.
SoonShortcuts
At your desk
The time, your deadline and the headlines, without opening another tab.
SoonTasks
Family
A note everyone actually reads, the days left until the holidays and tonight's moon at bedtime.
SoonPhotos

Alive
Seconds tick, a countdown runs before your eyes, one widget flows into the next. Press a button and the screen answers at once.
No backlight
The screen reflects the light in your room, so in daylight it reads like a printed page. No glare, no flicker, no glow in a dark bedroom.
No app
Set it up from your phone's browser in a minute. Add widgets on the website, and from then on it's just the buttons.
Made for your home
A soft, quiet object rather than a gadget: a case with real buttons and a stand for your desk. Magnetic mounts for the wall or the fridge are optional.

Out of the box, and Pro

Pro

Bring your own AI

If you already use an AI, Tiny Tomte can work with it. Paste your AI key in settings, and that's it: hold a button, ask for a pancake recipe, and the answer appears on the screen. You can also send a shopping list to the screen from Claude or ChatGPT on your phone.

Pro is coming later. You pay your own AI provider, and nothing out of the box needs it.

Questions

Is it e-ink?: No. Like e-ink, it has no backlight and reflects the light in your room. Unlike e-ink, it changes at once, without a black flash, so the seconds tick and the buttons answer as you press.
Do I need a subscription?: No. Everything out of the box works without one. Pro features use your own AI, and you pay your AI provider directly.
What's in the box?: The device and a simple stand for your desk. Bring your own USB-C cable. A magnetic charging dock and magnetic mounts for the wall or the fridge will be sold separately as accessories.
Does it need a battery?: No. It runs from a USB-C cable. There's no battery in the box, and we don't sell one: to take it with you, add your own. Which battery fits is on Pro & makers.
Does it glow at night?: No. There's no backlight, so in a dark room it stays dark, like a book. Turn on a lamp and it's easy to read again.
What's inside?: Inside is an off-the-shelf ESP32-S3 display module. The enclosure, buttons, firmware and service are ours. The specs are on Pro & makers.
