NEWS – If you’re tired of picking up your phone to check the weather or your to-do list, only to get sucked into a sea of notifications, then TRMNL might be your new favorite desk gadget. This e-ink display is designed to show you just the information you want, right when you need it, and nothing more. I just ordered one for myself to see if it deserves a permanent spot on my desk.
What makes TRMNL special?
TRMNL uses a 7.5-inch e-ink screen, which means it’s easy on the eyes, looks great in any lighting, and only sips power when the display changes. You can use all sorts of plugins to tailor the display to only show information important to you. There are over 80 plugins so far, like calendars, weather, news, stocks, to do lists, and much more. It connects over WiFi, so you can place it anywhere: on your desk, the kitchen counter, or even mount it on a wall.
Who will love TRMNL?
TRMNL is perfect for anyone who wants quick access to useful info without the distractions of a phone, tablet, or going to individual websites on your laptop. If you’re a productivity fan, you can keep your tasks and calendar front and center. Families can use it for shared reminders or schedules. If you’re a tech tinkerer, you’ll love the open-source plugins and the ability to create your own custom layouts.
Why did I order one?
I immediately grabbed my credit card when I saw they had a Tempest weather plugin. I have been using an older OnePlus Android smartphone as a dedicated display for my WeatherFlow Tempest weather station, but I think replacing it with the TRMNL could be awesome (I hope).
Standout features
One of the best things about TRMNL is its battery life. Thanks to e-ink technology, it can run for months on a single charge, depending on how often you update the display. The default version of TRMNL runs for 1-3 months, but a $10 upgrade adds a larger battery that can double that time. There are no cords to clutter your space and no bright screen lighting up your room at night. The display is always on, but never distracting, quietly showing only what matters to you.
My first impression is coming soon
You can order a TRMNL for $139 at usetrmnl.com. I’m excited to try TRMNL myself and see if it becomes my new favorite desk companion. With its promise of less screen time and more focus, it just might be the gadget I didn’t know I needed.
