Okay… I’m nervous, but here we go, Qriotix.link is live! A unique firmware + time‑sync for your E‑Ink desk clock.

I’m excited to share that Qriotix.link is now fully polished and ready for all PaperTix users.

As far as I can tell, no other non‑WiFi/non-BLE desk clock offers both firmware updates and time sync, which makes PaperTix truly one‑of‑a‑kind with the fact that you don't need subscription, account, login or separate app!

I know the current update and sync flow requires a few clicks, some of that is due to browser security policies - but overall I’m really happy with how it works. I also have a full roadmap to reduce number of clicks and add more sync features and personalization as the project evolves.

Would love to hear what you think.

So couple of months ago while doing some final phase testing I observed this issue where temperature sensor was reading 2-3 degrees more than usual and humidity was always less by 5 or 6 % points.

Ultimately it turned out to be the location of the TH sensor. Now this issue is resolved mostly.

What is improved now?

-> Separate PCB, Cutout where it connects to PCB and No copper under the connector

This will be done in future with software updates,

-> Low power modes & some fudge factor for you to adjust the drift!

Here are some nuggets on how it arrives from the manufacturer and enclosure modifications for this PCB.

Hello wonderful folks!

After 1.5 years of prototyping, redesigns, enclosure experiments, firmware rewrites, and way too many hours away from family… I finally filmed a fast‑paced assembly + unboxing of my DIY kit project.

For those who don't know, this little device is built around an STM32 Microcontroller, and it’s become a world timer, volume controller, weather display, and a bunch more. The enclosure is fully 3D‑printable and customizable, which makes every build a bit different, and that’s honestly my favorite part.

I’m getting close to launch, so I wanted to share this moment with the community! Would love to hear what you think, any feedback, questions, roasting… all welcome.

Thanks for being part of the journey.

[ SOUND ON ] It took me around 440+ photos to make this and since it was my first attempt I wanted to keep it simple. So here goes nothing...

[Sounds ON] This little stop motion film shows how the device actually comes together. Its 440+ photos in less than a minute - lots of labor with love. It captures exactly what I have aimed for: engineering, quality materials, and hardware that earns its place on your desk!
