Getting Started

trmnl.link gives your TRMNL plugins persistent, user-owned read/write storage — no third-party service required.

1. Create a device

Pick a plugin, create a device, and copy its secret passphrase. No account needed.

2. Paste the secret into your plugin

On each refresh, the plugin fetches your data:

GET /api/<app>?secret=<device_secret>

3. Edit from your phone

The plugin shows a QR code. Scan it to add or update data — anyone holding the device can edit, no login required.

Tip: QR tokens expire after 24 hours and refresh on every device fetch.
