# MyPerchi

> MyPerchi makes Perchi, a silent desk companion and phone stand that rewards putting your phone down, and Perchi Matrix, an LED desk display with 70+ apps from 60+ integrations.

MyPerchi (https://myperchi.com) is an Indian hardware company. It makes two desk devices that share one platform and one app library:
- Perchi: a silent desk companion with a 128x64 OLED face that is also a phone stand. Rest your phone on it and a focus block ("Phone Nap") starts while Perchi visibly knits, grows or builds a small project; lift the phone and it pauses. Launch price ₹2,999 (MRP ₹3,499) in India; international pricing opens with the global batch. USB-C powered, no battery, no speaker, no AI, no subscription, works offline.
- Perchi Matrix: a 24x8 RGB LED desk display (three 8x8 WS2812B panels; 32x8, 64x16 and 64x32 sizes open later on the waitlist) driven by an ESP32-S3, with 72 apps from 63 integrations: creator counters, sales, deploys, calendar, weather, Home Assistant and MQTT. Authenticated AWTRIX-3-compatible local API. Launch price ₹4,499 in India; international pricing opens with the global batch.
- Both use the same web dashboard, REST API, webhooks, MCP server, no-code app builder and public links, plus an authenticated local API and MQTT on your LAN. Firmware updates are signed; sign-in uses passkeys or email codes.

Launch status: reservations are open (Batch 2). We have received enough reservations to fill Batch 1. New reservations join Batch 2, with an estimated wait of 2 to 3 weeks from the day you reserve, shipped in the order received. Warranty 12 months, 14-day returns. Contact: hello@myperchi.com.

## Definitions
- Desk companion: A desk companion is a small, always-on device that sits on a desk and reacts to the person working there, rather than a robot that performs or a display that only shows numbers; Perchi is a desk companion whose reaction is tied to where your phone is.
- Phone Nap: A Phone Nap is Perchi's focus block: it starts three seconds after your phone rests on Perchi's back, runs 25 minutes by default (5 to 120), pauses when the phone is lifted, and ends as complete or partial, never as a punishment.
- AWTRIX-compatible display: An AWTRIX-compatible display is an LED matrix that accepts the AWTRIX 3 local HTTP and MQTT calls (notify, custom apps, switch, settings, power) so existing AWTRIX 3 scripts and Home Assistant automations keep working; Perchi Matrix implements an authenticated subset.
