Welcome to InkyCal
InkyCal is a small dashboard for e-paper screens. It shows calendars, weather, tasks, photos, and custom modules on a Raspberry Pi.
Two paths, one project:
- InkyCal v3 = the ready-made product/customer setup
- Inkycal = the open-source software you can install yourself
Where should I go?
- I bought InkyCal v3 → start at the customer hub: inkycal.aceinnolab.com
- I want to configure
settings.json→ use the Web UI generator: inkycal.aceinnolab.com/ui - I want to install manually → read the docs installation guide: aceinnolab.github.io/Inkycal/installation
- I want the source code → this repository: github.com/aceinnolab/Inkycal
- I need help → Discord or GitHub Issues
Quick start
- Pick your display model.
- Create
settings.jsonin the Web UI. - Follow the installation guide in the docs.
- Run InkyCal on your Pi.

❤️ Support the project
InkyCal is maintained in spare time. If it saves you hours of setup or powers your daily dashboard, consider sponsoring — it covers hardware costs, display testing, and keeps development going.
👉 Sponsor on GitHub — one-time or monthly, any amount helps.
Sponsors also get access to InkycalOS-Lite: a pre-built SD card image with everything already configured, so you can skip the installation entirely.
