About Inkycal

inkycal logo

Inkycal is a python3 software for selected E-Paper displays. It’s open-source (non-commercially), fully modular, user-friendly and even runs well even on the Raspberry Pi Zero. Inkycal even has a web-UI which takes care of adding your details! No more editing files, Yay :partying_face:

The main idea behind Inkycal was to create a dashboard that blends in well in its environment and shows you all information without you having to look them up. Several built-in modules help you stay organised by:

  • providing the weather forecast for the full week or next few hours

  • getting the latest news from ATOM/RSS feeds

  • showing your iCalendar agenda, which may be synchronised with your phone

  • showing a monthly Calendar which may also show events synced with Google etc.

  • fetch some jokes form the web to help you smile :)

What’s more? It’s compatible with third party modules, if something is missing, you can write your own module and share it with the community.

Inkycal has a friendly and helpful community on Discord in case you’re in a pinch setting up Inkycal. Noobs welcome too of course!

Inkycal is developed mainly by aceisace - a university student and a few other developers in their free time. Open source means we work for nothing, but it doesn’t mean we don’t need anything. We invest a large amount of time, effort and coffee to develop Inkycal.
