Your Second Brain, Always Visible
A calm, always-on interface that turns information from my Obsidian knowledge system into glanceable screens for tasks, projects, events, notes, and daily context.

The Problem
My tasks, calendar, projects, notes, and other useful information already existed digitally—but seeing them meant opening an application and actively looking for them.
I wanted important information to remain visible without another screen demanding attention.
The Solution
I connected my Obsidian knowledge system to an e-ink display.
A custom service reads structured Markdown and other data sources, determines what should be displayed, renders display-ready screens, and sends them to the device.
Different views can surface tasks, calendar information, projects, notes, highlights, meal planning, and other context.
How It Works
Design principle: Inform, don't interrupt. The display is intentionally quiet. It provides ambient awareness without notifications, app switching, or another bright screen.
