Introducing the Krono AI-Powered E-Paper Focus Hub: A Revolutionary Combination of Functionality and Minimalist Design
The Dutch company is set to launch the Krono, an innovative e-Paper focus hub that seamlessly blends minimalist design with productivity features. This pocket-sized device, reminiscent of a smartphone or the BOOX Palma 2, is poised to revolutionize the way users read, take notes, and listen to music.
Display and Lighting
The Krono boasts a paper-like E Ink screen with a dual-tone front light that adjusts color temperature for comfortable reading in various environments. The screen has a resolution of 824 x 1648 and a pixel density of 300 PPI, ensuring crisp and clear text and images.

AI-Powered Features
One of the standout features of the Krono is its AI-powered voice recording. A smart dial on the left side of the device allows users to record voice notes effortlessly. The onboard AI then transcribes these notes into searchable text and can even summarize longer recordings, making it easier than ever to manage and organise your thoughts.
Audio Capabilities
The Krono offers a dedicated Music function, dual microphones for clear recording, built-in speakers for playback, and Bluetooth connectivity for wireless headphones or external speakers. This makes the Krono a perfect companion for those who enjoy listening to music or podcasts on the go.
Battery Life and File Support
With a 3950mAh battery, the Krono offers extended usage typical of E Ink devices. It also supports a wide range of file formats, including EPUB, MOBI, PDF, DOC, various image and audio formats.
Platform and Apps
Running on the open Android 13 platform, the Krono allows users to install their preferred reading, note-taking, and productivity apps without being locked into a specific ecosystem.
Crowdfunding and Availability
The Krono is set to be launched through a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo, with a dedicated website for more information. As of the latest update in July 2025, pricing and the exact launch date of the Indiegogo campaign have not been explicitly stated. To stay updated on the most current pricing or crowdfunding launch details, monitoring the official announcements from the company or Indiegogo is recommended.
