A low-power e-paper desk display. Medication and water reminders that need no network, a world clock anywhere, plus Hong Kong tolls, buses, fuel and flights.
VELA is a low-power e-paper desk display that works with this free app. It shows one useful thing at a time, updates itself, and never asks you to unlock your phone.
[ANYWHERE]
• Clock — digital, analogue, or a four-city world clock
• Weather — forecast for anywhere in the world, with Hong Kong Observatory warnings at home
• Emergency phone — one important number, full screen
• Calendar — a tear-off daily leaf with the lunar date, today's events from your phone's calendar, and the day's 宜/忌 from the Chinese almanac if you want it. Events reach VELA over Bluetooth only, never through a server
[REMINDERS — NO NETWORK NEEDED]
• Medication and injections — a weekly schedule; VELA sounds an alarm, shows what is due, and you press a button on the device to tick it off
• Drink water — a nudge at the interval you choose, and a running count against your own target
Four alarm sounds to choose from. Neither is a medical device: VELA keeps no health record and gives no dosing advice.
[HONG KONG, LIVE]
• Tunnel tolls — live and time-banded fares for the harbour crossings and major tunnels
• Bus arrivals — estimated arrival times for the routes you use
• Fuel discounts — pump prices after each oil company's discount
• Flights — Hong Kong International Airport flight status
• Sports grounds — today's LCSD running-track opening hours *Provided by Sub.
• Mark Six — the latest draw results
[WHY VELA]
• Low power: days on a charge, deep sleep between updates
• No account: Bluetooth setup, every setting stays on the device
• E-paper: no glow, no flicker, readable in daylight
• Switch modes from the device button or the app at any time
The app needs Bluetooth permission to connect to and configure your VELA.

Your VELA now pairs only with phones you choose. The first time you connect after updating its firmware, hold UP and DOWN on the VELA for 3 seconds and type the code it shows. If your VELA gets its data through your phone rather than WiFi, it will wait for this step.
