Made for Home Assistant
Works with any web page
Everything a wall display should be
Built to sit on a wall and never miss a beat.
Most tablets weren't made to stay on forever. Wallpad handles the hard parts, brightness, burn-in, dropped connections, so your display just works, quietly, for months at a time.
Any other web page too
Not just Home Assistant. Point Wallpad at a Grafana board, a shared calendar, a photo slideshow, or any URL. If it runs in a browser, it runs here.
Smart brightness
Wallpad leaves Auto-Brightness alone until it actually needs to dim. Smooth ramps up and down mean no jarring flashes as the room changes.
Night mode
Cap brightness during quiet hours so a bedroom or hallway display never blinds anyone at 3am. Set it once and forget it.
Auto-recovery
Lost Wi-Fi or a server hiccup? Wallpad shows a calm retry screen and reconnects on its own every few seconds, no walking over to poke the screen.
Clock screensaver
When idle, fade to an elegant dimmed clock instead of a bright static page, gentle on the eyes and on the panel.
Lock it down
Pair with iOS Guided Access or Single App Mode to bolt Wallpad to the screen: no accidental swipes, no wandering out of the app.
Two ways to run
On all day, or awake only when you are.
Always On
Your page stays up around the clock. When nobody's interacting, Wallpad can gently dim, or drift into the clock screensaver, then snap back to full at a tap.
- Choose Dim only or Clock + dim when idle
- Perfect for a mounted kitchen or office dashboard
- Smooth brightness ramps protect the panel
Wake on Movement
Wallpad uses the front camera to sense motion in the room. Walk up and the display wakes; walk away and it rests. All processing happens on-device, no images ever leave your iPad.
- Lightweight on-device motion detection
- Saves power and reduces panel wear
- Nothing is recorded, stored, or uploaded
Privacy by design
What happens on your iPad stays on your iPad.
Wallpad has no account, no analytics dashboard watching you, and no cloud that your data passes through. It shows your page and gets out of the way.
Camera never leaves
Motion detection runs entirely on-device at a low frame rate. Frames are compared and discarded, never saved, never sent anywhere.
No account, no tracking
There's nothing to sign up for. Wallpad doesn't build a profile on you or phone home with your browsing.
Your network, your rules
Works on your local network and even accepts self-signed certificates, so home-lab dashboards load without a hitch.
Simple pricing
Try it free. Buy it once.
