Inkycal is a modular Python application that renders information dashboards (calendars, weather, tasks, photos, custom modules) on e-paper displays connected to Raspberry Pi devices. It supports Waveshare and Papirus panels, web-based configuration, battery-friendly rendering, and runs even on the Pi Zero W.
Use cases
- build an e-paper dashboard on a raspberry pi
- display calendar and weather on an e-ink screen
- show tasks and photos on an e-paper display
- create a low-power always-on info panel
- write custom python modules for an e-paper dashboard
- set up a waveshare e-paper display with a raspberry pi zero
When to choose
- you have a Raspberry Pi and a Waveshare or Papirus e-paper display
- you want a modular, extensible dashboard with custom Python modules
- you need low-power, battery-friendly rendering with ghosting prevention
- you want web-based configuration and boot-startup support
When to avoid
- you need a full-color or high-refresh-rate display
- you don't have a Raspberry Pi or compatible e-paper hardware
- you want a general-purpose screen dashboard rather than e-paper
- you need real-time updates, since e-paper refresh is slow
