How to Set Up a Kindle E-ink Dashboard
Create your dashboard
Pick widgets and layout in our simple editor. No code, no config files — just choose what you want to see.
Connect your widgets
Link Google Calendar or Todoist if you want them. Weather and clocks work out of the box with no accounts needed.
Open the magic link on your Kindle
We give you a private URL. Paste it into your Kindle browser once — it refreshes automatically from then on.

Why not just build it yourself?

Browser Compatibility
Basic Browser Mode works on many older Kindles
Try EinkDashboard directly in your Kindle browser — no jailbreak required. On some older Kindle models, you may be able to keep the dashboard visible for longer using built-in debug commands. However, always-on behavior depends on your Kindle model and firmware.
For reliable long-running, low-power use, EinkDashboard's Advanced Kindle Agent mode is coming soon — stay tuned.
Privacy & Data
Simple rules, no surprises
Private magic link
Your dashboard URL is long, unique, and not guessable. You control who sees it.
Kindle is read-only
Your Kindle only displays the dashboard. It never sends anything back to us.
Minimal data access
When you connect Google Calendar or Todoist, we request the minimum read-only scope needed. We don't store your events or tasks — we use them to render your dashboard.
Disconnect anytime
You can revoke any integration from your dashboard settings in seconds. No hoops.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
