Now You Can Turn Sticky into Your Personal Dashboards with TRMNL BYOD
Meet Sticky × TRMNL: our compact magnetic ePaper display now runs the TRMNL dashboard ecosystem. Customize plugins for calendars, flights, parcels & more.
reTerminal Sticky (available for pre-order with shipment on November 20, 2026) was designed to bring information you care about into your everyday spaces. With its compact 3.97″ magnetic ePaper display, low-power design, and flexible placement, Sticky makes it easy to keep important information visible, whether on your fridge, desk, wall, or workspace.
But the possibilities of such a tiny magnetic ePaper display do not stop there.
We’re super excited to share that our collaboration with the amazing TRMNL team has found its new presence in our latest ePaper display Sticky. Since our joint effort in launching the TRMNL 7.5″ (OG) DIY Kit last year, we’re now bringing the TRMNL open-source ePaper dashboard ecosystem to Sticky’s compact magnetic design. With TRMNL BYOD architecture, Sticky can now connect to a growing ecosystem of dashboards, plugins, and integrations. From calendars and flight information to movie watchlists, parcel tracking, smart home data, and more, Sticky becomes a customizable low-distraction display built around your needs, keeping them visible in your daily routine.
Spoiler. To celebrate this collaboration, the TRMNL team is offering an exclusive offer for the TRMNL BYOD access. Limited to the first 200 licenses, one per customer. Read on to seize the opportunity to save BIG on the TRMNL BYOD license.
