Founder's Edition

The beta agreement, in plain English.

No fine-print games. Here's exactly what you're getting, what I promise, and the small thing I ask in return.

01What you're getting

  • A hand-built 13.3" cordless e-ink Almanac, one of the first 20 ever made.
  • Personal setup help — we'll get it on your wall and syncing your calendar together.
  • A direct line to me, and real influence over what the product becomes.
  • Founder pricing locked in, and first place in line for the production unit.

02What I promise you

I'll build your unit by hand and ship it within the target window shown at checkout, and I'll keep you honestly updated the whole way — including if something slips. If you ever want out before your unit ships, you get a full refund, no questions. And once it arrives, you have 30 days to return it for a complete refund if it isn't right for your home.

03What I'm honest with you about

This is a pre-production, hand-built unit — not a finished retail product. The frame and finish are still improving, and you may run into the occasional bug or rough edge. That's the nature of being first, and it's exactly why the run is capped at 20 people who want to help shape it. If you want a polished, off-the-shelf product, it's worth waiting for the retail release.

04The small thing I ask in return

The reason a founding cohort exists is to learn from real homes. So in exchange for founder pricing and early access, I ask that you:

05Your data & privacy

Almanac connects to your calendar to show your events, and nothing more. Your calendar data is used only to render your display. You can disconnect and have your data deleted at any time. Full details live in the privacy policy, which you'll review before connecting any account.

This is a plain-language summary of the founding beta terms, provided for clarity and not as a substitute for the full purchase terms presented at checkout. Almanac is a pre-production hardware program; timelines are targets, not guarantees, and your money-back guarantee applies throughout. Questions? Email sswiston@gmail.com.
