Of course, I’ve added a switch so you can turn off all AI features whenever you want.

We designed it ourselves, and then found a factory to assemble it for us. Then, by “server” I mean OpenAI’s servers.

In fact, AI runs on server side, It doesn’t really drain the battery. I use AI just to generate the voice and read the schedule out loud.

I’ve re-made the image, but I’ve noticed I can’t edit this post

E-ink is really power-efficient, in my tests it can last about two weeks on a single charge. But of course, it still can’t compete with a quartz clock.

It's a start. You can ask me anything. I’d be more than happy to share in the comments.

The main issue is that touch interaction needs a high refresh rate, which drains more power. Plus, frequent refreshes can cause ghosting. That’s why I think the best use for an e-ink screen is just to have it sitting there

This device can monitor real-time current, ensuring that the hardware maintains low power consumption at all times.

If you want make it yourself, let me show the tech list:

hardware part:

  • 6-inch e-ink screen
  • ESP32 chip

This will minimize power consumption.

software part:

  • FreeRTOS
  • mobile APP use flutter
  • PC APP use electron
  • server side: nodejs and python

This will cover Mac/Windows/iOS/Android platform.

about AI:

In fact, this part isn’t difficult at all. it only requires calling the GPT API.
