Reads like paper

A true e-ink display — the same calm, matte surface as a Kindle. No glare, no backlight, no blue light glowing at you across the room.

No cords, a year per charge

The only cordless calendar in the category. Hang it anywhere — no outlet, no dangling wire. Recharge about once a year over USB-C.

No subscription. Ever.

Connect Google Calendar in minutes and see everyone's schedule at a glance. Full features included — no monthly fee layered on top.

The Founder's Edition

One of the first 20 Almanacs — hand-built by the founder.

  • A hand-assembled 10.3" cordless e-ink Almanac, built and set up personally
  • White-glove onboarding — we get it on your wall and syncing together
  • A direct line to the founder, and real influence over what gets built next
  • Locked-in founder pricing, well below the $499 planned retail
  • First in line for the production unit and every future update

Founder's Editions are hand-built, pre-production units. Expect a few rough edges — that's the point of being first, and exactly why they're limited to 20. Not a finished retail product yet.

It just stays current

Almanac quietly wakes, pulls the latest, and updates itself. You'll forget it even has a battery.

Why I built it
"Every family calendar had become another glowing screen begging for attention. I wanted the opposite — something that feels like paper, earns a place on the wall, and just quietly keeps everyone on the same page."

I'm hand-building the first twenty myself, in Calgary. If you back one, you're not buying a finished product off a shelf — you're helping shape the first real one. I'll be with you the whole way.

— Scott Swiston, founder
Questions

The honest answers.

Is this a real product I'll actually receive? +

Yes. Almanac is a working prototype today, and Founder's Edition units are hand-built and shipped to you. Because each one is assembled by hand, the run is capped at 20. You're reserving a real unit, not a concept.

When will it ship? +

Founder units ship in small batches as they're built. You'll get a realistic target window at checkout and honest updates the whole way — never a fake date. If timing ever slips beyond what you're comfortable with, your money-back guarantee always applies.

What if I don't like it? +

You're fully covered. Cancel for a 100% refund any time before your unit ships, and there's a 30-day return window after it arrives. No restocking fees, no hassle.

Is there a subscription? +

No. Every feature you see is included with the device. We may offer optional add-ons later, but the calendar you're buying works fully, forever, with no monthly fee.

What does "pre-production" honestly mean? +

It means you're getting the first real version, hand-built rather than factory-finished. The frame and finish will keep improving toward the production unit. You'll likely spot the occasional rough edge — and your feedback directly shapes what we fix next.

What calendars does it work with? +

Google Calendar at launch, with Apple and Outlook/Microsoft on the roadmap. Multiple accounts and up to six household members are supported.

If the 20 founder units sell out, we'll hold your place for the next small batch and launch pricing. No spam — just the occasional real update.
