What is Loopi?
Loopi is a personal E-Paper display with six base colours. Base has no magnet; Plus includes the magnet upgrade. Create your look in myLoopi and send it over Bluetooth.
Can I use my own photos and text?
In the myLoopi prototype, you can edit photos and text, customise templates and save looks. Time, to-dos, weather designs and your own QR links add to the options. The six device colours have been tested; further designs are being checked on the real display.
How do I attach Loopi?
Base will be offered without a magnet and includes 1 carrying strap. Plus includes the magnet upgrade and 2 carrying straps in total. Fridge use requires Plus and a suitable magnetic surface. Compatibility with phones and cases is being checked separately. A stand is not included.
How long does the battery last?
Up to three months, depending on use and image changes. This is a project-team report for the existing device sample. Update frequency and other conditions of the team’s battery-life test are not yet documented; this does not guarantee battery life for production versions.
What is included in Base and Plus?
Base: 1 Loopi without a magnet and 1 carrying strap. Plus: 1 Loopi with a magnet upgrade and 2 carrying straps in total. A charging cable, Qi charger, stand and skins are not included in either package.
How far along is development?
A working prototype with a magnet and our own myLoopi app already exist. Real iPhone tests have confirmed Bluetooth image transfer and the six display colours. You can watch continuous original app-and-device footage on this website. Base without a magnet and the final Plus configuration are being prepared; further variant and Android tests, and public store releases, are still ahead.
Can the time and weather update automatically?
In the app prototype, you can enable automatic updates and first send your look to Loopi. With the app open, the clock offers 5, 15, 30 or 60 minutes; weather and other everyday modes offer 15, 30 or 60 minutes. In the background, the phone determines the actual timing. A regular schedule with the phone locked has not yet been confirmed.
Is Loopi a personal gift idea?
Your own photo or message makes Loopi personal. Create and save looks in myLoopi. Base includes 1 Loopi without a magnet and 1 carrying strap; Plus includes 1 Loopi with a magnet upgrade and 2 carrying straps in total. The original photograph shows the existing prototype.
Can I turn a link into a QR design?
In the myLoopi prototype, you can bring a personal HTTPS link into the editor as a QR design. For example, add your profile or website to a look. Scanning from the real E-Paper display is still being tested. This does not provide an access-control function.
Does Loopi have NFC?
NFC was detected on the existing prototype using a separate test app. NFC reading and writing your own content are not yet available in myLoopi. The test reporting the tag as writable does not confirm a successful write operation. Features and equipment of the final production version are still being checked.
Can I pay with Loopi?
In the app prototype, you can save, share or turn a link to an existing external payment page into a QR design. You deliberately open the page on your phone; myLoopi does not initiate a payment. Direct contactless payment at a checkout terminal is not yet available and requires a suitable payment solution with a partner.
Does myLoopi need to stay open for automatic updates?
For the chosen regular schedule, the app stays open and Loopi remains within Bluetooth range. A background mode has been prepared in the prototype, and a single transfer with a locked iPhone has been confirmed. Background scheduling starts at a minimum of 15 minutes; the phone can delay execution considerably. Regular background updates are still being tested. After fully closing the iPhone app, you need to open it again.
How much does Loopi cost in the pre-sale?
Base is €89 including VAT; Plus is €99 including VAT. Shipping per package: Germany €7, rest of the EU €18, rest of the world €29. For one package including VAT and shipping: Germany Base €96 / Plus €106; rest of the EU Base €107 / Plus €117; rest of the world Base €118 / Plus €128.
When will my pre-order be dispatched?

Where can I find Loopi on Kickstarter?
Our Kickstarter pre-launch page is live. Follow Loopi there to receive launch notifications. The campaign is planned to launch on 30 October 2026 and run for 30 days. Use the Kickstarter section on this website to open the project. A shop pre-order and a Kickstarter pledge are separate purchases.
How is Loopi charged?
Our existing sample supports wireless Qi charging. In the project team’s own prototype test, it charged from empty to 100% in under 15 minutes. The charger model has not yet been documented; this is not a guaranteed charging time for production versions. A compatible Qi charger is required separately and is included in neither Base nor Plus.
