Your e-ink display, supercharged.
LaraPaper is the app that powers your TRMNL e-ink display. Choose from hundreds of community-built screens to show weather, your calendar, news headlines, train times, and more — all on a beautiful low-power screen that sits quietly on your desk or wall.
What makes TRMNL LaraPaper worth launching.
Choose from over 800 pre-built screens created by the TRMNL community, including weather, calendars, news, stocks, transit schedules, and more.
Set different screens to show at different times of day — morning train times, afternoon weather, evening calendar — all on autopilot.
See your device's battery level, WiFi signal strength, and current screen all from one clean, easy-to-read interface.
If you fit one of these, TRMNL LaraPaper is probably built for you.
Practical scenarios where TRMNL LaraPaper makes a real difference.
See your calendar, weather forecast, and to-do list on one screen as you head out the door each morning.
Display real-time transit schedules that update every few minutes, so you never miss a departure.
Cycle through headlines, stock prices, and RSS feeds throughout the day without picking up your phone.
Show the family calendar, grocery list, and weekly weather on a screen in the kitchen for everyone to see.
LaraPaper is the command center for your TRMNL e-ink display. Instead of being stuck with a fixed set of options, you get full control over what shows up on your screen and when. Browse hundreds of community-made recipes — from weather forecasts and Google Calendar events to train departures, stock tickers, and daily quotes. You can even create your own custom screens with the data that matters most to you. With LaraPaper, your TRMNL display becomes a personalized dashboard that adapts throughout your day. No noise, no notifications — just the information you need at a single glance.
LaraPaper puts you in the driver's seat of your TRMNL display. Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, you decide what appears and when — with total freedom to mix, match, and customize. Whether you want train times that refresh every 5 minutes in the morning, a weather screen for the afternoon, or a calendar view for the evening, LaraPaper makes it effortless. It's the most popular community-powered way to get the most out of your TRMNL device, trusted by thousands of users worldwide.
