E-Ink Calendar

December 4, 2025

The NarTick E-Ink Calendar is a new smart device currently funding on Indiegogo that aims to move your digital schedule into the physical world without the distractions of a smartphone or computer. It is designed as a dedicated desk companion that displays your daily tasks and appointments on an always-on electronic paper screen. This choice of display technology mimics the look of real paper, providing high visibility and a calm aesthetic that does not emit the glowing blue light typical of LCD or OLED screens. The device is versatile in its placement, capable of standing on a desk, hanging on a wall, or attaching magnetically to a refrigerator.

At the core of the NarTick's functionality is its integration with major digital calendar services. It automatically syncs with Google Calendar, Outlook, Apple Calendar, and task management apps like TickTick and Todoist. This ensures that any changes made on your phone or computer are immediately reflected on the dedicated device. To assist with organization, the calendar offers multiple viewing modes, including a standard calendar view, a list view, and a four-quadrant priority view that helps users distinguish between urgent and important tasks.

Beyond simple display duties, the NarTick features advanced artificial intelligence powered by ChatGPT. This integration allows the device to function as an active assistant rather than a passive screen. Users can interact with the calendar using voice commands to create or adjust schedules without lifting a finger. The AI can also analyze complex goals and break them down into smaller, actionable steps, guiding the user through their workflow. Additionally, the device can verbally read out the day's schedule, acting like a personal assistant during a morning routine.

The hardware includes several productivity tools designed to keep users focused. It features a Pomodoro timer to manage work intervals, an alarm clock, and environmental sensors that display the current temperature and humidity. Because it uses energy-efficient E-Ink technology, the NarTick boasts a battery life of approximately two weeks on a single charge. It also supports touch input, allowing users to check off completed tasks directly on the screen.
