The photos, ideas, and moments we care about often stay trapped on our phones. Once the screen goes dark, they are out of sight.
We build the things we want to use ourselves. 𝙏𝙄𝘾𝙆𝙀𝙔 started with a simple frustration. We wanted a small color e-paper badge that felt considered rather than disposable: slim enough to carry, distinctive enough to feel personal, and quiet enough to live with every day.
It had to keep an image visible without a backlight or constant power. It also had to feel like a well-made object, not another glowing screen asking for attention.
We looked for one and could not find it. So we made it.

Open firmware and the ESP32 ecosystem make TICKEY easy to customize, integrate, and build on.
The display driver is developed by the Modos, which focuses on building open source Eink devices and solutions. As part of the collaboration, we are offering a special Developer Edition: It shares the same base hardware as the normal version, but adds an additional 128MB of on-device storage (compared to the 8MB on the standard version), to allow even more applications to be developed for it. The Developer Edition also features a special color and front plate. If you are a developer planning to do more with the device, or you are a user thinking about installing potential third-party firmware on to your device, you may want to consider choosing the Developer Edition. Normal firmware still runs on this edition as well.
