Read only
Desk Display requests read-only access to selected Google calendars. It cannot create, edit, or delete calendar events.
A personal hardware project
A quieter way to see what matters next.
Desk Display is a private, battery-powered e-paper dashboard built for its owner. It brings upcoming calendar events and planning information into one calm, glanceable screen.

Local by design
Calendar information is retrieved directly by the owner’s physical display. There is no application server collecting or reselling calendar data.
03
Purpose limited
Google Calendar data is used only to show the owner’s next scheduled events on the e-paper screen.
Google Calendar access
Why the app requests calendar data
The display reads the calendar list so its owner can choose specific calendars. It then reads event titles, start and end times, cancellation status, and the owner’s invitation response for those selected calendars.
That information is filtered to a short upcoming window and used only for the Up Next area of the display. All-day, cancelled, and declined events are excluded from the visible list.
Access is granted explicitly through Google’s OAuth consent screen and can be revoked at any time from the owner’s Google Account.
