Something new on your wall.

An owl in your kitchen. A Van Gogh the next morning. When frames ship, you can wake to a different print in the same frame, on the same wall.

The light in your room

Your room lights it. No backlight.

A black wooden frame showing Wheat Field with Cypresses as a six-ink print
Drag the light from a morning window to lights off. The picture dims and warms the way a print on paper does, because nothing behind it glows. Six inks on e-paper; no backlight.

A screen glows on its own. This frame keeps its picture with the power off and never lights the room.

This morning

What will catch your eye?

A moth. An orchid. A patch of sky. Museum works and our own nature prints, drawn one plate at a time. You can wake to either.

Find your collection

How it works

You choose. Your wall surprises you.

  1. Pick what you like

    Choose museum works, nature prints or a collection of your own. Start with owls. Follow your eye.

  2. Leave the night to it

    Your frame chooses a museum work or has a print drawn overnight. You meet it in the morning.

  3. Set your rhythm

    Change the print each morning or let it stay longer. Your frame never glows.

The object

A print by your kitchen window.

Your picture will read by the light in your room. Bright by a window. Quiet at dusk. The e-paper panel uses six pigment inks: black, white, red, yellow, green and blue.

Your print will stay visible with the power off. Changing it takes about forty seconds. You see the picture, with no glass or gloss in front. The table below lists the frame targets.

Our promises

Your wall asks nothing of you.

Seven promises come with every frame. You can hold us to every one.

  1. Your wall changes. Your phone stays quiet.

    You get no notification when a print changes.

  2. You see only the art.

    No badge, logo, clock or weather on your picture.

  3. You stop paying. Your wall keeps going.

    Museum works keep your rhythm. No blank picture, watermark or nagging.

  4. You have nothing to scroll.

    No feed, no likes, no other people's frames.

  5. Your collection belongs to everyone.

    Nobody can buy a subject or make a collection exclusive.

  6. You can forget the app.

    We measure success by how little you need to open it.

  7. You are not for sale.

    Your photos never train anything. Your taste stays home. We sell frames and art, never you.

Questions

Before you make room on your wall.

Does it look like a tablet on the wall?
Your picture will use the light already in your room. It has no backlight. By a window, you see a print. In the dark, it disappears like the other pictures on your wall.
What happens if I stop paying?
Your frame will keep showing museum works on your rhythm, indefinitely. Everything already shown stays in your register. Nothing blanks. No watermark, no nagging. Come back and your prints come back with you.
Is the made-for-you work sold as real art?
No. You can read the difference on the placard. Museum works name the artist, date and museum. Our AI-made prints say MusePaper and the date they were made. We never use a living artist's name as a style prompt.
Are the nature prints accurate?
Not reliably. You get a real scientific name, but a beak or petal count can be wrong. These are decorative nature prints, not field guides. Do not identify a moth by one.
What happens when the company goes away?
You will be able to send your own print without our servers. The frame accepts a print over the local network with no account, and that path is documented and will not be removed. Your frame is yours to keep using. Read the local-network guide
Your frame, even without us.

Your frame, even without us.

You can send your own picture without our servers. The frame accepts a print over the local network with no account, and that path is documented and will not be removed.

Choose your picture

Send a panel-ready PNG. Fit, sharpen and colour-correct your image first, then reduce it to the panel's exact dimensions and six ink colours. Your file uses the same format as MusePaper prints.

Send it from your network

Your frame will run a small web server on your network. With the feed on, send image bytes in a PUT request to the frame's address from a device on that network. The status endpoint tells you whether the feed is on and whether the frame holds a local print.

What happens on a bad upload
StatusMeaning
200Your print is now on the wall.

413The file is too large.
422The file wasn't a valid, correctly-sized, six-colour image.
500Something on the frame's own side went wrong; nothing was shown.

Turn the feed on

The feed will start on before you pair your frame to a household. Once claimed, it defaults to off. You turn it on or off physically at the frame. Nobody can switch it over the network.

Keep using what you own

You own your frame. Sending a picture must never depend on our servers. This path stays open even if MusePaper goes away.
