HAND-E is a 2.16-inch AMOLED display that sits on your desk and runs one small app at a time: earthquakes as they happen, live satellite weather, flashcards, your photos, and Pip, a tiny robot who keeps you company.
The device on this page runs HAND-E's real home screen. Tap an app to open it, and press the button on its side to come back.
Every earthquake of the last day on a dark world map, coloured by strength. New quakes get a cyan ring, and the strongest recent one pulses so you notice it from across the room.
The weather as satellites see it. GeoMap loops the latest images from NOAA's GOES satellites: the whole Earth, a region, infrared, even the Sun.
Flashcards that change on their own while you work, so a new word or fact passes by every few seconds. Add your own decks from your phone or computer.
A tiny frame for your photos and short videos. Copy them to the memory card, or upload them over Wi-Fi from your browser, and pick what plays.
Pip is a small robot who lives on your desk. Pip idles, looks around, naps at night and reacts when you tap the screen, with a clock above.
HAND-E home screen
The side button takes you back to HAND-E.
These are the screens your HAND-E shows while you set it up. First install HAND-E from a computer at handeos.com/install, where you also enter your license key or start a 7-day free trial. After that, all you need is your phone and your Wi-Fi password.
Plug HAND-E in and scan the code on its screen with your phone, then choose your network.
Once it is on Wi-Fi, HAND-E fetches the license (or free trial) you chose in the installer. If it still shows this screen, tap CHECK AGAIN.
Choose an app on the home screen. HAND-E downloads it and opens it. Two apps live on the device at a time.
A Waveshare ESP32-S3 board with a square AMOLED panel. Pure black stays truly off, so the screen never glows at night.
Everything you need lives here.
