Den

Supported devices

Built for the tablet already in your drawer.

Den runs in any modern browser, but a kitchen wall is a particular kind of device. Here are the ones we’ve set up ourselves, with the small adjustments each one needs.

  • Apple iPad Pro / Air / standard

    iPadOS 16.4 or newer

    Recommended

    Wall · Phone

    Stays awake on its own. No extra setup. Add Den to the home screen and the iPad turns into the wall.

  • Apple iPad (older)

    iPadOS 14 to 16.3

    Works (older)

    Wall · Phone

    Older iPads need a quiet workaround to stay awake. We handle it automatically. For best results, turn on Guided Access (in iOS Settings → Accessibility) so a stray tap doesn't exit Den.

  • Amazon Fire HD 10 / 11

    Fire OS 7 or newer

    Works

    Wall

    Open Den in Silk → menu → Add to Home Screen. In Settings, lock orientation, set the sleep timer to Never, and silence notifications so the wall stays calm.

  • Android tablet

    Chrome or Edge 100+

    Works

    Wall · Phone

    Open Den in Chrome and Add to Home Screen. Most Samsung, Lenovo, and TCL tablets from the last few years work without special setup.

  • Chromebook

    Chrome OS

    Works

    Wall

    Open Den in Chrome → menu → Install Den. It lands on the shelf and runs full-screen. A nice option for a spare laptop in the kitchen.

  • Apple iPhone

    iOS 16.4 or newer

    Recommended

    Phone

    The companion app lives here. Add to Home Screen from Safari for the full-screen experience, with reminders right on the lock screen.

  • Android phone

    Chrome 100+

    Recommended

    Phone

    Same companion experience. Chrome will offer to install Den when you visit it the second or third time.

A note on older devices.

If your iPad is on iPadOS 12 or 13, the wall will likely run, but we don’t test against it. Expect occasional rough edges. Anything older than that, and the browser is too old to host Den safely. A recent Amazon Fire HD 10 is a lovely replacement, and well-priced.

Don’t see your device? Try it. If it’s a recent Chromium or Safari, it almost certainly works. Tell us what you found at [email protected] and we’ll add it.

Getting started

Ten minutes from sign-in to the wall.

It starts on your phone. Sign in, name your family, link a Google calendar, then point the tablet at Den and pair it with a code. By the time you’ve made coffee, the wall is showing real events.
