Community catalog
Everything the community has contributed to Tesserae, in one place. Verified entries are reviewed and maintained by the catalog owner. Install any of them from inside the app.
Timeline-rail agenda view: upcoming events grouped by day, with a thin ink rail connecting per-event nodes and a coloured start-time chip carrying the feed accent. Auto-grows 1 to 4 columns until the whole list fits, so titles stay legible on wide e-ink panels without truncating.
Air quality, pollen count, and detailed wind widgets. Data from Open-Meteo (no key required). For users who want more than the bundled weather_now / weather_forecast cards.
Flights currently overhead at your location via OpenSky Network (free, no key). Shows total count + nearest N flights with callsign, origin country, altitude, and speed.
Read-only checklist from your CalDAV / iCal todo lists (Baikal, Radicale, Nextcloud Tasks). Reads VTODO items from the same Calendar Core feeds the calendar widgets use, leads with what needs action, and shows due-date chips, an iCal priority dot, and per-feed colour ticks.

Render the next-up screen from your TRMNL account on a Tesserae cell. Paste a device API key, paint whatever playlist is scheduled. The token never leaves the host: Tesserae fetches the envelope from /api/display and proxies the image bytes through itself.
