We are committed to release every part of the paperlesspaper under Open Source licenses. 🚀

Here are a few reasons why Open Source hardware (and buying a frame or sponsoring) might be a good idea:

No Surprise Subscriptions 💸

“Premium Sepia Mode” should not cost €4.99/month. Showing a JPEG should not require a billing portal.

Built To Outlive Startups 🪦

The frame should survive longer than the average smart-home company. If we pivot to AI-powered kettles, your frame still works.

Repair, Don’t Replace 🔧

If something breaks, you can fix it. If something is ugly, you can fix that too. And if we made something wrong, you can fix it too.

Community = Strange But Wonderful 🦄

Someone will definitely add a “dogs wearing hats” mode.
Someone else will make it show only frogs
Both people are important.

You Own The Device 👑

You own the frame. Including everything.

More Than A Picture Frame 🖼️

Today: family photos.
Tomorrow: calendar, weather, to-do list, art display, poetry machine, passive-aggressive chore reminder.

Open Source Means Forever ♾️

Every screw, line of code, and weird little hack in paperlesspaper can live forever on the internet. The frame can keep improving long after the original version exists.
