Introducing DuRoBo Krono: Your Personal ePaper Focus Hub

Share

We are excited to introduce our first-ever product, Krono, a 6.13'' ePaper focus hub designed to acquire knowledge, store thoughts, and ignite creativity. Krono combines an ePaper display that's easy on the eyes, an open Android platform for endless flexibility, and a design language rooted in classic mechanical elegance. Backed by a high-performance octa-core processor and enhanced with AI, it’s built for responsive, intelligent use.

Design That Melds Style and Function

Krono is an attention zone, right in the palm of your hand. Clean lines define its minimalist body, featuring a signature Axis with breathing lights across the back and a Smart Dial for a retro-tech vibe. Meanwhile, modernity shines through its fine matte finish and metallic accents. The ink-on-paper experience smooths out distractions every time you turn it on, while the clean and elegant UI ensures intuitive navigation, helping you focus on what truly matters. Fun widgets and personalized lock screens brighten up your Krono and also offer timely information you care about.

Sharp Text, Soft Light, True Comfort

Krono’s Carta 1200 screen delivers a natural paper aesthetic. Every word appears in crisp 300 PPI detail, as sharp and precise as a high-end print. The expertly calibrated AG etching balances transparency and anti-glare, ensuring clarity that improves with ambient light. When night falls or you're in a dim room, the frontlight gently illuminates the screen. This reflective lighting reduces eye strain, and you can fine-tune brightness and color temperature.

Native Tools for Reading, Thinking, and Flowing

As a day-to-day ally for conscious living, Krono is a device that doesn't demand your time but enhances it. To begin with, Krono is undoubtedly a delightful e-reader. It feels like real paper, as if you’re flipping through a compact jotter pad—except it never ends and never discolors. The smartphone-sized device with a 16:9 aspect ratio enables one-handed operation and effortless portability, so you can read, highlight, or annotate anytime, anywhere. When needed, switch on TTS to rest your eyes and absorb content through audio.

Pint-like ePaper display for eyefriendly clarity

Our Spark feature serves as both your idea vault and thinking organizer. Long-press the Smart Dial to start recording, capturing fleeting insights, emotions, or observations. After recording, you can use Speech-to-Text to get a transcript, then apply the AI Summary to distill the key points and bring structure to your raw thoughts. For deeper thinking, switch to text mode—sketch out a plan or polish a paragraph with care and clarity.

Access our intelligent assistant, Libby AI, right from the home screen or double-press the Smart Dial. Whether you're looking for the latest news, need answers in daily life or work, or want inspiration for your creative projects, Libby is ready to respond on demand. You’ll also find a Music function, where you can store ambient tracks, white noise, or lo-fi music to set the tone for immersive reading or reflection.

Running on the Android platform with the Google Play Store built in, Krono lets you install any third-party tools—be it a meditation app, a habit tracker, a cloud drive, or your favorite podcast. The 3950mAh battery ensures long-lasting power, making Krono a reliable companion device. With an octa-core processor and 6GB RAM + 128GB storage, Krono offers exceptional speed and responsiveness for both native and third-party apps, far exceeding what you'd expect from an e-ink device.
