The frame
QuipCast Compass
10-inch black-and-white. $299. United States only. Two months of Premium included.
A quiet, glanceable e-paper frame for the wall. No glow, no notifications, no app. It charges over USB-C, joins your WiFi from a setup page on your phone, and then just sits there: wisdom, wit, and the lines you asked it to keep, refreshed on a cadence you set.
Three buttons: Love, Pass, Next. That is the whole interface.
With a Founders Club code, your Compass ships right away. If you do not have a code, you can still buy. That order is a backorder, and we show the longer ship window before you pay: about 45–60 days. Every Compass includes two months of QuipCast Premium, switched on the moment you pair the frame. After that, your frame keeps working on Free. Upgrading is up to you.
