WebScreen is a customizable secondary display that sits atop your monitor, like a webcam, providing critical notifications, reminders, and visuals right in your line of sight. Whether you’re deep in a game, focused on work, or streaming, WebScreen lets you see what matters most without the constant urge to check your phone or disrupt your workflow. Featuring a vibrant AMOLED display and powered by an ESP32-S3 microcontroller, WebScreen fits seamlessly into any setup and can be personalized to display only the information you want to see.

Built for flexibility, WebScreen is also a platform for creativity. With open-source software and hardware, users can tailor their WebScreen experience by creating and running custom applications directly on the device. Simply save your JavaScript apps to a micro SD card, and WebScreen will load them up, letting you create a truly unique display experience.

Work or Play—Don’t Miss a Thing

We envision people using WebScreen to get their most essential notifications, stats, and alerts nearby without shifting focus away to a phone or tablet. WebScreen features a built-in 1/4-inch mount for a webcam, so it integrates into your desk setup easily. It’s great for everything from productivity to game streaming—you’ll never miss another viewer comment or critical calendar alert with WebScreen on your desk.

For those who love tinkering, WebScreen offers a platform for creating personalized applications. Users can code and run JavaScript apps on the device, transforming WebScreen into a highly flexible and functional tool that adapts to individual needs. By making WebScreen open source, we aim to build a community where users can contribute, improve, and expand its possibilities.

Open Source

WebScreen is a fully open-source project embodying our commitment to community-driven innovation. WebScreen is certified open by the Open Source Hardware Association. We have released everything under the MIT license, from the PCB schematics and layout to the BOM, firmware, desktop app, and STEP files for 3D printing.

This approach allows anyone to dive into the design and code, modify it, and make WebScreen their own. All of this information is available on our GitHub page.
