Every TRMNL device comes with a Friendly ID: a unique code that identifies your device. Think of it as your TRMNL's personal name. It's what connects your hardware to your account, your playlists, and your plugins. Please don’t share it with others, as it uniquely links to your device.
Why do we call it "friendly"? Because it's made for humans. Instead of a long string of numbers or a hard-to-read MAC address, the Friendly ID is simple, recognizable, and easy to remember.
Here’s how to find it:
If you’ve ordered the Developer Edition or Clarity Kit
You can start exploring before your device even arrives: create playlists, select plugins, and more. Just go to Claim a device and enter your order number along with either your email address or your first name. This will generate your Friendly ID, which you can then use to sign up here.
If you already have your device
Once your TRMNL connects to Wi-Fi, it will display your Friendly ID directly on the screen.
Alternatively
Visit Find my device. Enter your device’s MAC address or serial number, and you’ll get your Friendly ID right away.
