Apex Mini
Your build. Always on display.
A compact automotive display made to show what makes your car yours. Your handle, your build, a code people can scan — rotating on the glass while you're parked up, with no phone and no signal needed.
A display for the build.
Apex Mini is a 2.79-inch panel that sits inside your glass and shows what makes the car yours — your handle, the line you repeat forty times a meet, a code people can scan. It runs on its own, parked, with nobody standing next to it.
Apex Mini mounted inside a car's side glass — dusk or covered parking, the car reading as a build, the panel lit and legible.
16/9Three slots. Yours to fill.
Load up to three screens and it cycles them on its own — no phone, no signal, nothing to touch once you've walked away.
Your handle
Big enough to read from the next bay over, with the platform's own icon beside it. People find you before they've finished walking past.
Your build
The line you'd otherwise say forty times a meet — engine, power, whatever you want leading with — set in any of seven typefaces built into the panel.
Your code
One link, scanned off the glass — your profile, a booking page, a giveaway. It's a real IPS display, not an LED grid, so the code renders as a code.
Your motion
Or skip text entirely. A slot can run one of the built-in animations, or a loop from the Apex background library, full-bleed across the panel.
Your space
Off the glass and docked, the same panel becomes a clock — time, date, weather and what's next in your calendar.
It's more than a screen.
Your phone is for you. Apex Mini is for your car.
It stays with the build. It doesn't get pulled out of a pocket, passed around or put face-down on a table — it sits in the glass and keeps talking while you're three cars away.

4/5Made for the meet.
Your car has a story. Put it on display.
A car at a meet with the Mini on the glass and someone stopped at it, phone up, scanning.
3/2A badge for the car.
Someone walks past while you're off getting a coffee. Without asking anyone anything, they know whose car it is, what's in it, and where to find you afterwards.
- Your handle, big enough to read from the next bay over
- The build line you'd otherwise say out loud forty times
- A code that takes them straight to your page
No signal at the venue, no phone in your hand, nothing to keep an eye on — it cycles on its own from the moment you walk away.
Using a panel at car meetsControl it from your phone.
The Apex app talks straight to the panel over Bluetooth — no Wi-Fi, no reception, no data. Swap your code between runs, change your handle, push a new promo mid-event. On a laptop instead? The web panel does the same from any browser.

9/16- Pair and set up Wi-Fi over Bluetooth, before the panel has a network at all
- Edit all three slots from the Showcase editor and publish straight to the panel
- Change it mid-event, in the car park, with no reception
Then it's your desk clock.
Pull it off the glass and dock it. Clock, weather, your calendar and messages waiting when you sit down. Same panel, second life — so it's not a thing you use twelve times a year.
What Docked mode showsThe meet's just the start.
Small enough to live on your glass. Steady enough to run the whole weekend.
Point customers at your socials, your booking link or today's promo without printing a single flyer.
Rotate a sign-up code, the giveaway and your handle all weekend without touching it once it's live.
Off the glass, onto the desk — and it turns into a clock instead. More on that below.
Four steps, once.
Open the Apex app and it finds the panel over Bluetooth. No account juggling, no hunting for a hotspot.
Fill the three slots — type your line, pick a typeface, drop in the link behind your code.
Put it inside the glass where people walk past, and leave it there.
Walk away. It cycles the slots on its own, offline, until you come back and change it.

3/2Built to live in a car.
A 2.79-inch IPS panel in a machined black body that clips into a case you stick to your glass. Run it off the internal battery for the meet, or USB-C when you've got it. Settings and content live on the panel itself, so it keeps showing whether or not there's signal.

- Everything cached on the panel — works offline
Made for parked and show use — meets, counters, booths and desks.
Before you ask.
What is Apex Mini?
A 2.79-inch IPS display, 142 × 428, that mounts inside your car's glass and shows up to three screens on a loop — your handle, your build line, a scannable code, an animation, or whatever else you put in the slots.
How does Apex Mini connect?
Over Bluetooth to the Apex app for setup and for anything you change afterwards. Wi-Fi is optional and only adds the connected extras — weather, your calendar, messages and over-the-air updates.
Does it require the app?
You need the app (or the web panel in any browser) to set it up and to change what it shows. You do not need it for the panel to run — once the slots are set, it cycles them on its own with your phone nowhere near it.
Does it work without internet?
Yes. Your settings and all three slots are stored on the panel itself, so it keeps displaying with no Wi-Fi, no reception and no data. That is the normal case at a meet, not an edge case.
How is it powered?
An internal battery for the meet, or USB-C when you have it — useful for a permanent install where you would rather not think about charging.
Where can I mount it?
Inside the glass, in its mounting case, which clips on and off so the panel comes with you. It is made for parked and show use — meets, counters, booths and desks — not for use while driving.
Can I customise what appears on the display?
That is most of the point. Each of the three slots takes your own text in one of seven built-in typefaces, with nine animation styles, border treatments, your own colours, and an icon you can place anywhere on the screen. Slots can also run an animation preset instead of text.
Can I display my social accounts?
You type your handle and pick the matching icon — Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X, Facebook and more are built in as on-screen glyphs. The scannable code is what carries the actual link, so it can point at your profile, a booking page or anything else you choose.
Can I use it at car meets?
It is what the panel was built for. It runs offline, cycles without being touched, and is legible from the next bay over.
Does it work with iPhone and Android?
Both. The Apex app ships on iOS and Android, and the web panel does the same job from any browser if you would rather use a laptop.
Is there a subscription?
No. You buy the panel and the app is free. There is no plan, no tier and nothing that stops working if you do not pay again.
How do updates work?
Over the air when the panel is on Wi-Fi. Every firmware image is signed, and the panel verifies that signature before it installs anything — an image that does not check out is refused.
What happens if I need support?
Open a ticket from the support page or from inside the app and it goes to a real thread you can follow, reply to by email, and come back to later.
