TRMNL X
10.3" ePaper Dashboard
00
Overview
TRMNL is a battery-powered ePaper display that connects to your data sources and renders them as glanceable dashboards. Choose from 1093+ pre-built integrations or build custom dashboards using any API with HTML/CSS templating.
Typical deployments include sales metrics, calendars, operational status boards, and internal announcements. One-way communication architecture ensures your network remains isolated — the device pulls data from the server, never the reverse.
