Tiny Tomte

Pro & makers

What's under the hood: what's inside and what you get with the device, Pro features for people who bring their own AI, and the specs.

What's inside

Inside is an off-the-shelf ESP32-S3 display module. The enclosure, buttons, firmware and service are ours.

  • A case with real buttons

    Designed for the home, with physical buttons that work on every widget.

  • A stand in the box, accessories when you want them

    A simple desk stand comes with the device. A magnetic charging dock and magnetic mounts for the desk, the wall or the fridge are accessories.

  • Our server and every widget

    Every widget works out of the box, and we keep the server running.

  • Updates and support

    New widgets and fixes arrive on their own, and there's someone to write to.

  • One-click setup

    Everything is ready when you take it out of the box.

Pro: bring your own AI

Pro is for people who already use AI. It's optional: nothing out of the box needs it, which is why there's no subscription.

  • Your own AI on a button

    Coming

    Paste your AI key in settings, and that's it. Hold the button, say what you need, and the answer appears on the screen. The microphone listens only while you hold the button.

  • Send things from Claude or ChatGPT

    Coming

    Connect Tiny Tomte to your Claude or ChatGPT once, then send things to the screen from your phone: a shopping list, a recipe, a new widget.

You pay your own AI provider. We don't run AI on our keys while you use the device.

Technical details, from the device API to running your own server, are on the developers page.
