Supported devices

Built for the iPad 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.

iPad Pro / Air / standard
iPadOS 16.4 or newer
Recommended
Wall · Phone
Native screen-wake support. Fullscreen kiosk mode. Add Den to the home screen and the iPad becomes the wall.
Older iPad
iPadOS 14 to 16.3
Works (older)
Wall · Phone
We use a quiet video trick to keep the screen on, since the newer wake-lock API isn't there yet. Set up Guided Access (Settings → Accessibility) so a tap doesn't accidentally exit the app.
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.
iPhone
iOS 16.4 or newer
Recommended
Phone
The companion app lives here. Add to Home Screen from Safari for the full-screen, badge-and-notifications experience.
Android phone
Chrome 100+
Recommended

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 Fire HD 10 from a recent generation makes a lovely, inexpensive replacement.

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.

Setting it up

Ten minutes, no IT degree.

Onboarding 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.
