The firmware is open, the protocol is published field by field, and the paths around our server are supported. Three ways in, by how much you want to own.

​
The firmware

Read what your frame runs. The complete ESP-IDF source, the provisioning flow, the download verification, the sleep logic. The firmware.

​
Bring your own server

Keep the frame, replace the cloud. A stock frame can be pointed at any server that implements three HTTPS endpoints, from the pairing flow, with no toolchain and no reflash. A complete reference server in plain stdlib Python ships in the repo. Bring your own server.

​
Build your own frame

No frame at all: an ESP32-S3, a 13.3 inch E Ink Spectra 6 panel, and the same open firmware. Build your own frame.

​
The license

The firmware and the network stack are Apache-2.0. The one thing that stays ours is the art: the renderer that composes the daily poster is what you are buying when you buy a frame. Everything the frame needs to exist without us is public.
