FamiliyHub - Prototype

The PaperMono FamilyHub is a small, e-paper information display designed to bring everyday family organization into one quiet, accessible place.

Built around the M5Stack PaperMono, it shows family calendars, upcoming birthdays, school holidays and shared shopping lists. A simple touch interface allows users to browse upcoming days, view event details and access practical tools such as a timer.

The idea is to create a digital noticeboard for the refrigerator — always available, easy to read and without the distractions of a smartphone.

The device synchronizes with Google Calendar and Todoist while keeping its interface deliberately minimal. Its low-power e-paper screen makes it particularly suitable for a display that only needs to change when information is updated.

The working prototype is currently being tested in everyday family use, exploring how connected technology can become a quiet and useful part of daily routines.
