Nexi hangs on the wall in your parent’s home. Photos, messages, reminders and video calls arrive full‑screen on their own — no app to open, no password, no notification to dismiss.
Arrives set up. Mount it, connect Wi‑Fi, and it starts.
What was the first meal you learned to cook?
Every family already has a chat group. The person who’d love it most is usually the one not in it.
“I sent it, did you see it?”
Photos land in an app they have to remember to open, behind a passcode they’ve written on a note. Most are never seen.
The group chat moves too fast.
Forty messages, three voice notes, and the one photo of the grandchildren is already ten screens up.
A call has to be answered.
Ringing phones create pressure. Being thought of shouldn’t require anyone to perform on cue.
Put the screen in the room, and take the effort out of the room.
You send from your phone, exactly like any other app. On their side there is no app — just a screen on the wall that quietly shows what arrived, then goes back to being a beautiful clock.
Nexi is deliberately lopsided. Everything difficult lives on your phone; everything on their wall is just there to be looked at.
A framed screen that shows photos, messages, what’s coming up, where you are, and the time. Calls arrive across the whole wall.
Designed for the person you love — usually a parent or grandparent.
A normal, good app. You send things, and you tune every last detail of their screen without ever standing in front of it.
Designed for you and your siblings — on iPhone, Android or the web.
Nexi arrives configured for your family. Setup happens on your phone, not theirs.
Wall bracket or table stand. Connect it to their Wi‑Fi from the on-screen keyboard — the only time anyone will need one.
The screen shows a pairing code. Scan it in the Nexi app and the device is linked to you as its admin.
Send a link to siblings, grandchildren, neighbours. They install the app, join, and can start sending immediately.
Everything in this half happens without anybody doing anything. It is the part of Nexi the person you love actually experiences — and the part with no buttons, no menus and no decisions in it.
Their side · nothing to operateA screen on a living-room wall is a piece of furniture, not a gadget. So Nexi is built the way a frame is built: a slim timber moulding hugging the glass, square corners, and a matte surface that reads like a print instead of reflecting the room back.
Pick a finish — every Nexi on this page changes with it.
Industrial design shown here is a prototype direction, not a manufactured product. Finishes and dimensions are indicative.
When nothing new has arrived, Nexi doesn’t sit there empty. It cycles through the things worth looking at — and you choose which ones, and for how long.
Analogue or digital, with the day, the date and the local weather. The default state — big enough to read from a chair across the room.
A slow gallery of what the family sent. Show only the last two weeks, or keep favourites pinned forever. A tap pauses on one picture.
We’ll be over on Sunday with the kids
Short notes, set in type large enough to read at a glance. No thread to scroll, no unread count, nothing to reply to unless they want to.
Where was this taken?
A photo, a question, and your voice. The one screen designed to start a conversation rather than end it. More below →
Birthdays, appointments, anniversaries and reminders — each colour-coded by type. Added by whoever in the family keeps track.
Share a place once, or share live while you travel. They see a map, the local time and the weather where you are — the modern version of “we landed safely”.
Each screen can be switched off entirely. Dwell time is set per device — short, medium or long — and Nexi skips any screen with nothing in it.
The rest of Nexi carries news. Moments carries memory. Pick a photo, choose a prompt — or write your own — and record a voice note. It arrives as one full-screen card they can play again whenever they like.
This was Nonna’s kitchen in 1974 — do you remember the tiles?
Video and audio calls in both directions, on a screen the size of a face. No app to find, no contact list to search, no accidental mute.
Calling is available on the phone app for iOS and Android. The web app covers everything else.
A Nexi is not a tablet with an app on it. It is one screen that does one thing and cannot be turned into anything else — so there is no app store to wander into, no browser, no settings to get lost in, and nothing to buy by accident.
If something ever needs changing, you change it from your phone. They never have to touch it.
See what setup actually involvesWe set each screen up before it ships and pair it to your family, so the box contains a working Nexi rather than a tablet and a manual.
Prototype placeholder — confirm all return, warranty and support commitments before launch.
Everything in this half is yours. Sending, inviting, tuning, fixing — all of it lives in the app on your phone, so none of it ever lands on them.
Your side · full controlEvery one works the same way: pick what, pick which screens, pick who can see it, send. Change your mind and you can edit or delete it — the wall updates.
Tap Send on the phone and watch it land.
From your camera roll or the camera. Reframe it so nobody’s head is cut off, add a line, send. You can also share straight to Nexi from wherever you found the picture.
A short note that arrives full-screen, then joins the messages screen so it comes around again later.
A birthday, an appointment, an anniversary, a reminder. With a time or as a whole day, and a place if it helps.
Search a place, drop where you’re standing, or share live while travelling so they can watch you get there.
A photo, a question and your voice, together. The slower, more deliberate thing to send when a picture isn’t enough.
As you send, choose everyone — so the whole family sees it too — or just them, which puts it on their screen and nowhere else.
iPhone, Android and the web. Everyone in the family gets the same app; admins get the controls.
Photo, message, calendar item, location or moment. Choose which devices get it, and whether it’s for everyone or just them.
Everything the family has sent, filterable by device, person and type — so nobody sends the same news twice.
Invite by email or link, promote a sibling to admin, remove someone who’s moved on. Invite links expire on their own.
Change Wi‑Fi, check the battery, restart it, or tune every screen — from anywhere, without asking them to press anything.
On iPhone and Android, Nexi appears in the system share sheet. See a photo in your camera roll, share it to Nexi, add a caption, done — you never open the app first.
Nexi is a place for one family’s things. That constraint shapes the whole product.
A Nexi is only reachable by people an admin has invited. There is no discovery, no public profile and no way to be found by a stranger.
Every photo, message and location is marked as visible to the whole family or only to the person the screen belongs to. You choose as you send.
The camera and microphone are activated only when a call is joined, and never for anything else. Nexi does not monitor, count or score anyone.
Nothing on the screen is sold, ranked or recommended. The only things that appear are the things your family put there.
Data is encrypted in transit and access is enforced per account on the server, not in the app. Full details will be published in the privacy policy at launch.
Nexi is fully translated into English, French, German and Dutch — every screen, every prompt, every error. The device’s language is set independently of yours, so you can run the app in English while their screen speaks Dutch.
Try it — these are real strings from the product.
Placeholder quotes, written to show the layout. Replace every one of these with a real, consented customer quote before launch.
My mother has never once had to ask how it works, which is the entire point. She just tells me which photo she liked.
Four of us send to it now. It turned “someone should call Dad” into something we all do without thinking about it.
The voice notes are the thing. Hearing her grandson ask her a question, in his own voice, on a screen the size of a picture frame.
Indicative pricing for this prototype. Every figure below is a placeholder.
One screen, unlimited family members.
Hardware sold separately.
Everything, plus Moments and mobile data.
Includes the mobile data plan.
For care homes and home-care organisations.
From 10 devices.
No. The Nexi screen identifies itself to the service using its own hardware identity — there is no login on the device and nothing for them to remember. Accounts exist only for the family members sending things, in the phone app.
The screen keeps working as a clock and keeps showing what it has already received. When the connection returns it reconnects on its own and catches up — nobody in the house has to reconnect anything. If the router comes back before the screen does, Nexi retries until it succeeds.
Very hard to. Nexi runs as the device’s home screen in managed kiosk mode, so there is no way to reach the app store, a browser or the system settings. If the app ever does fail, it reloads itself and returns to the clock.
Yes — that’s the point of the app. Sleep hours, timezone, which screens rotate and how long each stays, the reaction emojis, the device name and its Wi‑Fi network can all be changed remotely. You can also check its connection and battery, and restart it.
Only the people invited to that specific screen. As you send, you choose whether an item is visible to the whole family in the shared activity feed, or only on the screen itself. Nothing is public and nothing is shared outside the family.
Yes. Many families run one for each parent, or one in a parent’s home and one at a grandparent’s. When you send something you pick which screens receive it — one, some or all of them.
Only during first-time Wi‑Fi setup. After that the screen is touch-only: a tap pauses on a photo or opens the menu, a swipe moves through pictures. There is nothing to type and nothing to spell.
Bought for a birthday, Mother’s Day or Christmas?
We’ll pair it to your family, put the first photo on the screen and ship it in gift packaging with a card in their language — so it works the moment it’s plugged in.
Tell us who it’s for and we’ll help you get it set up — including the visit where you hang it.
