The bulletin board that updates itself
The fridge door has been the family bulletin board for fifty years: notes, magnets, school letters and a calendar showing last month. A digital family bulletin board does the same job but keeps itself current — showing the week's plan, tonight's dinner, the tasks and the messages that matter, then switching to family photos when nothing is on.
- The week's plan, always the right version. Events from Google Calendar, school and sports-team apps appear together. No stale notes, no "it said so on last week's sheet". How the calendar display works
- Messages that actually get seen. Today's essentials — who does pickup, what to pack, what's for dinner — sit where everyone walks past. Nobody has to remember to check an app. See the family display in full
- Tasks with a named owner. The board shows who does what, with morning routines for the kids and chores through the week. Less nagging, more ticking off.
- A photo frame when the board is off duty. In the evenings and at weekends the board fades into family photos sent from the app — a bulletin board that is good to look at even when nothing is happening. How photo frame mode works
- One-time purchase, 1 year of Family included. €329 for the 15.6" or €229 for the Mini 10.1", with 1 year of Zenframe Family included. Ships within Europe from €19, 14-day return window. See prices and order
- The kitchen or the hallway. The board earns its keep where the family actually walks past — above the kitchen counter or by the front door.
- One sync, then it fills itself. Connect Google Calendar, the school and sports-team apps and the school holidays once. After that the board maintains itself — which is the whole point.
- Messages go in from your phone. Meal plan, tasks and reminders are added in the app and appear on the board immediately. The fridge door can go back to being a door.
FAQ
What is a digital family bulletin board?
A screen on the wall that does the job of the fridge notes and the paper calendar: it shows the family's week, meals, tasks and messages — but keeps itself up to date from the calendars and the app the family already uses.
Can I use a tablet as a bulletin board?
You can, but you have to keep it mounted, charged, awake and updated, and you usually see one app at a time. A dedicated board like Zenframe Display is always on and shows the calendar, meals, tasks and photos together.
What does a digital bulletin board cost?
Zenframe Display is €329 for the 15.6" and €229 for the Mini 10.1" as a one-time purchase, with 1 year of Zenframe Family included. Afterwards photos and clock stay free; planning continues with Family at €12.99 a month.
Can the kids use the board without a phone of their own?
Yes — that is much of the point. Children see their routines, when practice starts and what needs packing, right there on the wall. No device, no account, no extra screen time.
