we recently upgraded our brand and thought you should be able to, too.
whether you’re provisioning devices for team members, sending corporate gifts, or simply want to impress your wife by hacking that family calendar thing in your kitchen, your device should reflect your values.
and that’s why we built Tailor.

Tailor is a simple tool for editing a handful of details on any native TRMNL to make it fit in better with your environment.
it is compatible with automatic (OTA) updates and our manual /flash page utility, meaning you can use it without needing to think about future updates to TRMNL generally. for the tech inclined, it works by inserting bits of data into a special memory slot on your device.
here’s how to use it.
step 1 - graphics
first, visit Tailor: https://tailor.trmnl.com
generate up to 2x images, following the instructions in the Upload Images area. as an example let’s use our favorite video game system’s wordmark and logo icon.
splash

loader

note the extra room we left around the edges of our splash screen. your TRMNL will still overlay helpful text including error messages or setup details, so empty space is good.
the "loader" image can go anywhere you’d like, we just prefer the bottom right corner.
step 2 - generate binary
click this big button to convert your images into a file your device can understand. it should take just a second.

step 3 - flash
plug your device into your computer with a USB-C cable, put it in boot mode (detailed instructions on Tailor tool page), then you can click "Connect."
confirm you want to "Install TRMNL Firmware" and the whole process should complete in under a minute.

restart your TRMNL by turning it off for 5 seconds, then back on.
step 4 - enjoy
after restarting your device you’ll notice personalized content between screen refreshes and whenever you enter advanced settings views like the WiFi connection screen.
