Pre-order · The Transit Board smart display

A smart display with privacy at its core.

A purpose-built home display that is visual only — no microphones, no cameras, nothing listening in your home. Your board sits dead center; a quiet border around it shows the rest of what you need to know before you walk out the door.

Everything you need in one glance

Ten minutes before you leave, one look tells you the whole picture — not just the buses.

Your live transit board holds the center. The border around it fills with the rest of what matters at that moment — all driven by the same location you already set.

Weather & air quality

Current conditions, the next few hours, and the AQI for your exact coordinates — jacket, umbrella, or mask before you step out.

Transit alerts

Delays, reroutes, and service changes on the lines you actually take, surfaced the moment they matter.

Street-cleaning & reminders

The SF classic: a heads-up when it's your side's street-cleaning window, plus trash/recycling day — so you never eat a ticket.

Your next commitment

The next event on your calendar and when you'd need to leave for it, right next to how you'd get there.

Local news ticker

A quiet headline crawl along the bottom edge — a glance at what's happening while you grab your keys.

Custom widgets

Fill the rest of the frame with what you care about: bikeshare and scooters nearby, a drive-time alternative, sunrise/sunset and UV, sports, or markets.

Privacy is the whole point

Most "smart displays" are a camera and a microphone pointed at your kitchen. This is the opposite.

No microphone. No camera.

Visual only. There is nothing on the device that can listen to you or watch you — by design, not by setting.

Your preferences stay yours

Your location, lines, and widgets configure the display. You are the customer, not the product — no profile sold, no ad targeting.

Boots to the board

It starts straight into the display and just runs — a quiet appliance on your wall, not another account to babysit.

Two ways to put it on your wall

A finished unit, or a housing that turns an iPad you already have into the same display.

Use your own iPad

The border experience — weather, alerts, news, and custom widgets around your board — is exclusive to the hardware. The app and open-source builds are the transit board on its own.
