Kindle Dashboard

A simple dashboard web application for Kindle, featuring a to-do list, clock, media, timer, and days left tracker.

Features

• Media controller
• To-do list with unfinished and completed tasks
• Clock, timer, and days left/quotes navigation
• Simple, Kindle-friendly UI

Setup kindle

1. Jailbreak and install KUAL -> https://kindlemodding.org/

2. Get the browser to go fullscreen kindle-kual-fullmesquite. If you are on 5.16.4+, you could try kindle-shortcut-browser (Not tested). Big thank you to Mitchell Urgero :)

3. If you plan on using the media controller or the todo widgets, then you need to setup a local server on your computer which can be polled from the dashboard.

4. Install backend dependencies: To download the requirements run:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

5. Start the backend server: Run to start the server:

   python backend/app.py

   (Adjust the path and command as needed for your backend.)

6. Serve the frontend:

   • The frontend files are in the frontend/ directory.
   • Use a hosting service(like vercel) if you want the dashboard running when your computer is switched off.
   • Or use a simple HTTP server:

     cd frontend
     python -m http.server 8000

     Then visit url in your kindle browser.

Configuration

• Ensure the BASE_URL variable in your frontend JavaScript points to your backend flask server's address (e.g., http://localhost:8080).

Notes

• Media controls use playerctl which does not have windows support
• Only tested with kindle paperwhite 4th gen
