- 10.1" touch screen · 32GB
- Photos arrive from the Frameo app
Three things on one 10.1-inch screen: a Frameo photo frame, a family calendar that syncs itself from iCloud, Google, Outlook, Yahoo or any iCal link, and a silver mirror whenever the display is off.
Forc builds its 10.1-inch Frameo frame to do three jobs at once. It shows photos and videos sent by the family, it keeps a calendar that updates itself, and when the display is off, its silver face works as a mirror. In a busy hallway or kitchen, that means one device on the wall instead of a photo frame, a paper calendar and a mirror.
The three roles fit different moments of the day:
| Moment | What the Forc shows |
|---|---|
| Breakfast | Today's appointments and school events |
| Heading out | A mirror for a last check |
| Afternoon | New photos from the grandchildren |
| Evening | Tomorrow's plans beside a favourite photo |
Forc calls the model K106. It has 32GB of built-in memory for photos and videos, and sits on a table or mounts on a wall.
Photos arrive the usual Frameo way. Each relative installs the free app on an iPhone, Android phone or tablet, adds the frame with its code, and sends from anywhere. Baby photos, holiday snaps and short clips land on the screen within moments.
The frame suits a household that runs on shared plans. Grandparents who babysit, parents who juggle clubs and anyone who forgets birthdays all get something from a screen that shows both the family and the diary.

The calendar is what sets the Forc apart from ordinary Frameo frames. It syncs with iCloud, Google, Outlook and Yahoo, and it accepts any other calendar through an iCal link. Events update automatically from the calendars the family already uses, so nobody types anything twice.
Setting it up usually takes a few steps:
Once linked, the calendar keeps itself current. A dentist appointment added on a phone on Monday shows on the frame the same day, and a cancelled football match disappears on its own.
Forc suggests it for a long list of family uses:
A calendar in the kitchen of a grandparent who lives alone can be a gentle help. Their children can add the week's visits and appointments from far away, and the frame shows them each morning next to the latest photos.
The range of services is the practical win. Most families can link the calendar they already keep, whether it lives on an iPhone, a work laptop or a Gmail account, and a school or club that publishes an iCal link can join it too.
Calendars need Wi-Fi to stay in sync, like new photos. If the frame drops off the network, fixes for a frame that drops off Wi-Fi cover the usual causes.
Forc gives the screen a mirror-style face that looks clean and modern. When it is off, it works as a mirror; when it is on, photos, videos and calendar events show through. That makes the frame feel like part of the room's decor even when it is doing nothing at all.
Where the mirror finish works well:
Forc says it can stand on a desk, a bedside table, a kitchen counter or a mantel, or mount on a wall. On a wall it becomes a small modern mirror that happens to hold the family's photos and schedule.
A mirror face shows fingerprints, especially on a touch screen. Keep a soft dry cloth nearby and give it a wipe now and then, and the reflection stays clear.
Light matters too. A mirror placed opposite a window reflects the glare into the room, so a side wall usually suits it better than one facing the light.
Frameo's own settings still apply. A sleep schedule turns the screen off at night, letting it rest as a mirror, and brightness can be lowered for a bedroom.
For the frame's first day, Grandma's setup walkthrough takes the language, Wi-Fi and naming steps in turn, and the guide to adding photos covers inviting the family.
Mirror-finish Frameo frames are rare, and the closest match to the Forc is ThankVip's round mirror. Several ordinary frames also sync a calendar, so it helps to decide which of the three roles matters most. For a family that wants all three, the Forc is the one that combines them.
| Frame | Mirror | Calendar | Screen |
|---|---|---|---|
| Forc 3-in-1 | Yes, silver | iCloud, Google, Outlook, Yahoo, iCal | 10.1-inch |
| ThankVip round mirror | Yes, round chrome | Weather, on/off timetable instead | 10.1-inch |
| Akimart 10.1-inch | No | iCloud, Google, Outlook, Yahoo | 10.1-inch, 1280x800 |
| Arktronic 15.6-inch | No | Photo-and-calendar view | 15.6-inch, 1920x1080 |
Choose the Forc for a kitchen or hallway where the calendar and the mirror both earn their place. Choose ThankVip's round mirror for a dressing table, where the shape and decor matter more than the schedule.
If the mirror does not matter, Akimart's 10.1-inch frame syncs the same four calendar services with a stated 1280x800 screen and a collage mode. Arktronic's 15.6-inch frame puts photos and plans on a much bigger Full HD screen, with dual-band Wi-Fi.
The Forc's case is strongest in a shared space. A calendar only helps when people walk past it, and a mirror only helps where people stop to check themselves, so a hallway by the front door or a kitchen wall near the table gets full use from all three roles. On a bedside table, a plainer frame may do just as well.
