## What it is
InkyPi is an open-source E-Ink display application that runs on a Raspberry Pi and is controlled through a web interface. It supports plugins for displaying images, clocks, weather, calendars, comics, and AI-generated content, with scheduled playlists for rotating content.

## Use cases
- display weather forecast on an e-ink dashboard
- show my google calendar on an e-paper display
- build a raspberry pi e-ink photo frame
- rotate daily newspaper front pages on an e-ink screen
- schedule playlists of content on an epaper display
- generate ai images to show on an e-ink display

## When to choose
- you have a Raspberry Pi and a Pimoroni or Waveshare e-paper display
- you want a low-power, distraction-free smart display with a web UI
- you want to extend display content with custom Python plugins

## When to avoid
- you need a commercial turnkey smart display with cloud support
- your display hardware is not a supported e-paper panel
- you need real-time or high-refresh-rate content, which e-ink cannot handle
