A screen for them. An app for you.
They get a beautiful screen on the wall that shows family and nothing else. You get a normal, good app that puts things on it. Here’s the whole product, in plain language.
Six screens that take turns being useful
When nothing new has arrived, Nexi doesn’t sit there blank. It moves gently between the things worth looking at — and you decide which of these they see.
A clock they can actually read
Big, calm and legible from a chair across the room, with the day, the date and today’s weather. This is what the screen looks like most of the time — which is why we spent so long on it.
Photos, on a slow loop
Every picture the family sent, with who sent it and what they said. Keep it to the last two weeks so it always feels current, or pin the ones that should never rotate away.
Messages, in large type
Short notes shown one at a time, big enough to read at a glance. No thread to scroll, no unread badge, and no pressure to reply — though a tap sends a heart back if they want to.
Moments, with your voice in them
A photo, a question and a voice note, as one card they can play again and again. The one part of Nexi built to start a conversation rather than close one.
What’s coming up
Birthdays, appointments, anniversaries and reminders, colour-coded so a hospital visit never looks like a party. Added by whoever in the family keeps track of these things.
Where everyone is
Share a place once, or share live while you travel — with the local time and weather where you are. The modern version of ringing to say you landed safely.
And you set the pace
Turn any screen off entirely. Choose how long each one lingers — a quick rotation, or a photo that stays up for half an hour. Set quiet hours so it goes dark at night. Nexi skips anything empty, so it never shows them a screen saying “nothing here yet”.
Five things to send, all of them quick
Every one works the same way: pick what, pick which screens, pick who can see it, send. Changed your mind? Edit or delete it and the wall updates.
A photo
From your camera roll or the camera. Reframe it so nobody’s head is cut off, add a line, send. On your phone you can also share straight to Nexi from wherever you found the picture — you never open the app first.
A message
A short note that arrives full-screen, then joins the messages screen so it comes around again later. Long enough to say something real, short enough that you’ll actually send it.
Something coming up
A birthday, an appointment, an anniversary, a reminder. With a time or as a whole day, and a place if it helps.
Where you are
Search a place, drop where you’re standing, or share live while you’re travelling so they can watch you get there.
A moment
A photo, a question and your voice, together. The slower, more deliberate thing to send when a picture isn’t enough.
And who gets to see it
As you send, choose everyone — so the whole family sees it too — or just them, which puts it on their screen and nowhere else. Some things are for one person.
The part families tell us they didn’t expect.
A photo says you’re thinking of them. A moment asks them something back. Pick a picture, choose a question, record your voice — and it lands as one card they can play as many times as they like.
- You don’t have to think of the question. We suggest good ones — “What was the first meal you learned to cook?”, “Who took this photo?”, “Tell me about this house.”
- Grandchildren love it. A ten-year-old will record a voice note long before they’ll write a message.
- It doesn’t disappear. Moments stay in the rotation, so something you asked in March comes back around in June.
- They can answer on a call — which is usually exactly what happens next.
This was Nonna’s kitchen in 1974 — do you remember the tiles?
Two buttons. Both enormous.
A call takes over the whole wall, so there’s no hunting for the right icon and no accidental mute. They see who it is at the size of a real face, and press one thing.
- They can call you, too. Family appear as faces, not names in a list — so it works even if reading small text is hard.
- Voice only is right there for the days nobody feels like being on camera.
- The camera is off until a call starts. Nexi is not a monitoring device, and we won’t sell you one.
Everything is changed from your phone.
We assume nobody in their house will ever adjust a setting. So there are no settings on their screen — they’re all in your app, and they take effect immediately.
Tune what they see
Which screens rotate, how long each one stays, how many events show, whether the clock has weather on it, which four emoji they can tap back with. Change it from the sofa.
Quiet hours and the right time
Set when the screen goes dark, and set their timezone rather than yours — so it’s correct in their kitchen even if you live three countries away.
Fix it without visiting
Moved house or changed router? Join the new Wi‑Fi from your app. Something looking odd? Restart it remotely. You can also just check it’s online and how it’s doing.
Bring the whole family in
Invite by email or by sending a link — brothers, grandchildren, a neighbour who pops in. Unlimited people, no extra cost. Share the admin job with a sibling so it isn’t all on you.
One shared family feed
Everything anyone has sent, in one place. So nobody sends the same news twice, and the sibling who does less can see what’s been happening.
In their language
Their screen speaks English, French, German or Dutch — set separately from your app. Run yours in English while theirs is entirely in Dutch.
Works on whatever you already carry
The Nexi app is on iPhone and Android, and there’s a web version for anyone who’d rather use a laptop — useful for the relative who doesn’t want another app on their phone.
Calls, voice notes and live location need the phone app, because they need a microphone, a camera and GPS. Everything else — sending photos, messages, dates and places, the family feed, and all the settings — works in a browser too.
Made to disappear into the house.
Nexi is meant to look like something that belongs on the wall, not a gadget parked on a sideboard. It hangs flat with one cable, sits in landscape so it reads like a picture, and never asks for attention it hasn’t earned.
And because the screen only ever runs Nexi, there is nothing else on it to find, break or be confused by.
- 🖼️Wall or table, your choiceA bracket and a stand come in the box. Kitchen wall, hallway, next to the armchair.
- ☀️Always readyThe screen doesn’t go to sleep and never has to be woken up — it’s just on, like a clock.
- 👆Tap and swipe. That’s all.No typing, no small buttons, nothing to press and hold. Only a keyboard once, at setup.
- 🔊Loud enough to hearA proper speaker for calls and voice notes, not a phone speaker across the room.
One family’s things, and nothing else.
- Invite-only. Only people you’ve invited can reach that screen. Strangers can’t find it.
- You choose per item whether something is for the whole family or only for them.
- No ads and no feed. Nothing appears that your family didn’t put there.
- No camera watching them. It comes on for a call and goes off again.
