A new idea from Bindicator

Get on
board.

Live departures for your regular trip, waiting by the door.

A small, always-visible e-ink display that tells you when your next service leaves.

The thought behind it

Your morning commute should not begin with your phone.

You already know where you're going. You just need to know whether to leave now or finish your coffee.

Get on board is a palm-sized display for one local stop. It quietly keeps your next departures in view, using your walk time to make the answer personal. Put it on the fridge or by the front door and glance on your way out.

Why you might want one

Less checking.
Better timing.

01

See the useful bit

Your regular stop, your direction and the departures that matter, visible at a glance.

02

Know when to move

Add your walk time and the display can turn a departure time into the thing you really need to know: when to leave.

03

Make mornings calmer

One shared glance by the door helps take the refreshing, scrolling and last-minute guesswork out of leaving home.

Made for real homes

Put it where the decision happens.

The current design is magnetic and wall-mountable, so it can live beside the keys, on the fridge or at the front door. The e-ink screen has no glow and keeps its image visible between updates.

  1. 1

    Choose your trip

    Pick your regular stop, direction and any routes you care about.

  2. 2

    Add your routine

    Tell it your walk time and the parts of the week when departures should refresh most often.

    Look on your way out

    See upcoming services at rest, or tap once for a live “leave in” countdown.

Recharge, not replace

Weeks, not days.

We are targeting roughly three months between charges, with a replaceable battery so the product can keep going for years.

Quiet technology

Information, not another screen.

No backlight. No notifications. No scrolling. Just the departures you chose, drawn in crisp black and white.

Small details, considered

Useful should also be repairable.

The concept includes an accessible battery compartment, integrated magnets and a simple wall-mount slot. These details are still being refined, but the intention is clear: a useful object that earns its place and lasts.

Concept renders shown. Final form, features and specifications may change.

The practical questions

Before you ask.

Is this available to buy?

Not yet. Get on board is in development, and this page is here to find out whether enough people want one. Joining the list is the best way to help it happen.

Where will it work?

We are planning an Australia-first launch, beginning with Transport for NSW data. Interest from elsewhere still matters, and your signup country helps us understand where to look next.

Will it need a subscription?

The plan is one purchase with the online service included and no subscription. Final pricing and service terms will be confirmed before any pre-orders open.

Does it need Wi-Fi or an app?

The current concept uses home Wi-Fi to update departures. Setup is planned through a simple web page, with no companion app or user account required.
