LEDABLE is live on Kickstarter: A Retro LED Desk Display That Helps Users Use Screens Less

Oct 23, 2026

United States, October 23, 2026 -- LEDABLE, a retro-inspired desktop smart display built on a full-color 64×32 LED matrix, launched on Kickstarter today. Designed to keep the information people check all day right on their desks, LEDABLE is now live on Kickstarter with super early-bird pricing for backers. The earliest backers get up to 40% off.

A bright, full-color 64×32 smart display puts weather, scores, stocks, and 50+ apps on the desk, so users can glance instead of scroll.

Checking the weather, the time, a score, or a stock price often means picking up a phone and getting pulled into everything else on it. LEDABLE was built to break that loop. One quick look at the display gives them what they need, with no unlocking, no opening apps, and no endless scroll.

Small enough for a desk and bright enough to read from across the room, LEDABLE measures 156 × 87 × 18 mm and weighs 210 g. It ships with more than 50 ready-to-use apps covering weather, air quality, calendars, countdowns, sports scores, stocks, crypto, news, and GitHub activity. Users pick their favorites, arrange them into a playlist, and let LEDABLE cycle through them while they work, play, or relax. Setup happens once from the LEDABLE mobile app over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, and then the phone goes back down.

Key features include:

Bright Full-Color Display: 64×32 RGB LED matrix with smooth animation, auto brightness, and on/off scheduling
50+ Apps at Launch: weather, time, air quality, calendars, sports, stocks, crypto, news, GitHub, and more
Open and Customizable: build their own apps, install community-made apps, and share creations through a community marketplace
Pixel Art Mode: drop in a static image or animation and use LEDABLE as pure desk decor, even offline
PC Companion Mode: turn LEDABLE into a second screen for CPU, GPU, RAM, and temperature monitoring
Phone Setup, Then Hands-Free: manage apps, playlists, brightness, and sleep times from the mobile app
Multiple Colorways: choose the look that fits their desk, from clean and simple to bright and playful
Desk-Sized Design: 156 × 87 × 18 mm and 210 g, small enough to keep and light enough to move

LEDABLE is made for makers, developers, gamers, and anyone who wants a smarter, calmer desk. Its open approach to custom apps and community sharing invites users to go beyond what comes in the box, while its ready-to-use apps keep it useful from the moment it is plugged in.

Hamilton sets sights on racing in African grand prix

AUSTIN, United States — Lewis Hamilton on Thursday welcomed Formula One’s decision to return to Africa, but revealed reservations over the choice of Rwanda to host the continent’s first Grand Prix in more than three decades. The seven-time world champion also said he wanted to stay in F1 racing into his forties to make sure he can fulfil his dream of racing in an African Grand Prix. Speaking to reporters ahead of this weekend’s United States Grand Prix, the Ferrari driver said he was aware of concerns regarding Rwanda and said they should not be overlooked. "Of course, I don’t get to choose where we go and, naturally, there’s problems all over the world today,” he said. “I’ve seen many of the stories, but I think we really have to approach it with humility.” Formula One announced a 10-year agreement to race in Rwanda last week with the race set to join the calendar after a circuit has been built in the early 2030s. The last time an F1 race was held in Africa was the 33rd South African Grand Prix near Johannesburg in 1993 when Hamilton was just eight years old. "There’s a lot that we don’t know,” added Hamilton who has called for a return to Africa for many years. “Growing up in England, they never taught us anything about Africa. It needs to be on the curriculum… "A lot of the problems they have there are still the results of colonialism and the west intervening, but if you see the people, you see so many designs that are out there today. Top brands come from Africa, and it’s got all the richest resources. "I really hope, and I still have hopes, that Africa unites. I know there’s many people that don’t want that to happen -- because they would be so powerful if they did, but I’m still hopeful that at some stage they will. "And, of course, going doesn’t mean that you neglect the things that are happening there. "So hopefully many people start to educate themselves a little more about what is happening, what has happened for hundreds of years and I hope that does spark the conversation.” Hamilton, who warmly praised runaway championship leader Kimi Antonelli of Mercedes as he sat alongside him at a news conference, revealed also that he hopes to continue racing into his mid-forties. "I’m looking forward to racing with him longer. I mean, I’m now forced to have to stay a lot longer because we have a race in Africa -- and that’s been my dream, to be able to race in Africa.” "So, you’ve got time,” said the 20-year-old Italian. “You’ve got to do at least the first one.” "Yeah,” replied Hamilton. “I have to keep fighting to try and stay fit if I can. If I can still punch out good results over the next year, we’ll keep it going.”
