The Founders Club
Order Compass two ways.
QuipCast Compass is a 10-inch black-and-white frame, $299. Every frame in this run is assembled by hand.
With a Founders Club code, your Compass ships right away. United States only. Two months of Premium included.
If you do not have a code, you can still buy. We take the order as a backorder and show the longer ship window before you pay: about 45–60 days.
After the included two months of Premium, your frame keeps working on Free, with one classic card a day. Upgrading is up to you: Plus is $39/year and Premium is $69/year.
So, what's a quip?
From the Latin quippe, meaning an observation or indeed, a truth. A quip is any short piece of wisdom, wit, or fact worth a pause. We use it as an umbrella for over fifty distinct forms humans have invented to compress meaning: aphorisms and adages, parables and koans, jokes and one-liners, factoids and verses, mottos and mantras, and the open questions that invite you to pause.
QuipCast™ captures, curates, and casts them. Quietly. On a reflective frame on your wall.

Tell us what you love
Hang the frame
Three buttons, that's it
- ▲ Love: save it, and show me more like it.
- ▼ Pass: hide it forever, and show me less like it.
- ▶ Next: just advance to the next quip.
Over time, those signals refine your QuipCast more than any wizard ever could.
A press isn't instant. The frame takes a few seconds to wake, fetch, and refresh the e-paper. That deliberate pause is part of the posture.
A taste of what rotates
Below is a live sample from the curated library, refreshed every ten seconds so you can feel what a dynamic frame is like.
What makes it different
Taste-driven, not algorithm-driven
You tell us what you love. We tune to your taste, not to your dopamine. No infinite feed, no swipe-for-more, no engagement metrics chasing your attention.
Reflective, no light show
E-paper reflects ambient room light just like ink on a page. No backlight. No flicker. Visible from any angle. Easy on the eyes, especially at night.
Bring your own quips
Family mottos, mentor's lines, lyrics that anchor you. Paste them in. They mix into rotation alongside the curated content. Calibrate the blend yourself.
Your photos too, mixed in
Upload your most memorable photos and they appear alongside your quips. Not a backup, a gallery. You choose the ratio.
Multiple frames, one account
A kitchen frame that's family-safe. An office frame that allows edgier wit. Same library, different tunings.
Months between charges
E-paper sips power, mostly only when the image changes. How long a charge lasts depends on refresh cadence. See the FAQ for the daily, hourly, and 10-minute numbers.
Glanceable by design
No notifications. No haptics. No camera. No microphone. Glance up if you want; ignore it otherwise.
Built on the science of repetition
Spaced repetition is how language teachers, medical students, and memory champions actually retain things. QuipCast cues the lines you wanted to remember into the room, on the rhythm that makes them stick.
Simple pricing
Three tiers. Buy the frame once. Pick what fits.
Frame: $299 one-time. Every Compass includes two months of Premium, switched on the moment you pair the frame.
Compare tiers →Built for people who underline books
QuipCast is for the kind of person who dog-ears pages, screenshots passages, and forwards quotes to a group chat. The kind who has a notebook somewhere with lines they wanted to remember but forgot to revisit. It's for keeping those lines in the room.
