Already yours.
Useful again.

That e-reader in the drawer has a beautiful display. Give it a place on your desk.

FROM DRAWER TO DESK

Three steps to a new daily ritual.

01

Make it yours.

Create a free account and a widget. Set the size to match your display.

02

Choose what matters.

Add clocks, weather, RSS headlines, currencies and other widgets. Adjust fonts, spacing and theme.

03

Open your screen.

Open the widget URL in your device browser, or use its GIF image on a compatible display.

LESS SCREEN. MORE PURPOSE.

Built around the beauty of E Ink.

ELECTRONIC PAPER. EVERYDAY POSSIBILITIES.

Readable by design.

Clear type, monochrome layouts and room to breathe. Tune the dimensions and padding for your device.

Everything you need, in view.

Choose from ten types: clocks, weather and RSS, calendars, notes, QR codes, data from a URL and more.

Day meets night.

Choose a light or dark screen, or switch automatically using your time zone.

A link is all it takes.

Public widget pages and GIF output make it possible to use compatible older browsers and displays.

E-READERS & DISPLAYS

A new role for an old favourite.

Check that your device can open this site before setting it up. No universal device compatibility is promised.

NO PLANS TO COMPARE

Good for your desk. Free for you.

Create an account, customise your screen and put the device you already own back to work. The service is free.

FAQ

A few things before you start.

Is it really free?

Yes. EINKTIME is a free service. You do not need a payment card or a paid subscription.

Will it work on my e-reader?

Your device needs internet access and a browser that can open the widget page, or a way to display its GIF URL. Old browsers differ, so check access on your device first.

Do I need to install an app?

EINKTIME provides a web page and a GIF URL for your widget. A compatible browser is enough to open the page; some devices may need additional setup to keep it visible.

What can I customise?

Display size, widget selection and order, fonts, spacing, alignment and theme. Types include currencies, weather, RSS, clocks, text, iCal calendars, countdowns, images, QR codes and data from a URL.

Are my screens private?

Your account settings are protected by your login. Widget display URLs are public: anyone with a link can view the display. Do not put sensitive information on them.

Catalog

Anyone with an active account can submit widgets for publication. Publication is checked automatically once an hour. Only approved widgets appear in the public catalogue.
