Displays
Inklyng in a web browser
Anything that can open a web page works as an Inklyng display: a computer, a Chromebook, an Amazon Fire tablet, a smart TV or a monitor with a Fire TV Stick. You don't install anything.
How it works
- Log in to Inklyng on your phone or computer, choose Add display, and pick Web Browser.
- Connect the screen in whichever way is easiest: scan the QR code with its camera, open the link, or go to inklyng.app/go on it and type the 6-character code.
- A code works once and expires after 5 minutes. You can also have a link emailed to the screen.
- Choose which screens it shows and how long each stays. A browser screen reconnects by itself if the Wi-Fi drops.
Screens you can show
- Photo Frame. Your own photos, cropped for the display.
- Weather. A sky that matches the real conditions, with hourly and weekly forecasts and a radar loop.
- Earth view. A globe lit by the sun's true position and turned to your city.
- Stocks. Prices and a clean history chart, with a scrolling ticker.
- Text. Your own words in the font and colors you choose, sized to fill the screen.
- Message board. A split-flap board of tiles, with emoji, colors and schedules.
- Ai Based. Describe a picture and AI paints it for your screen.
Put as many as you like in a playlist and the display moves through them on its own.
Tips
- The page fills the screen at its own size, so it works at any resolution.
- Some screens, such as the Earth view, are for color screens 700 px and wider.
