Keep Your Meural Canvas Alive
Netgear might be winding Meural down. The Nimbus Bridge keeps your frames working.
It appears that Netgear is stepping back from Meural — the app hasn't been updated in over a year and the Alexa skill is gone. When the cloud servers shut down, your Canvas frames stop loading art, won't accept new photos, and lose their smart features. The Nimbus Meural Bridge runs on a small device on your home network and delivers art straight to your frames, no Netgear cloud required. It's available now.

Running more than one Meural?
A single bridge can drive several Canvas frames. You pay full service for your first frame, and every additional frame is half price — added when you pair it in the Nimbus app and charged to your card on file. You approve every charge.
| Plan | First frame | Each additional frame |
|---|---|---|
| Starter | $4/mo · $40/yr | $2/mo · $20/yr |
| Basic | $6/mo · $65/yr | $3/mo · $32.50/yr |
| Premier | $8/mo · $87/yr | $4/mo · $43.50/yr |
How does the Nimbus Bridge work?
The bridge is a small device (a Raspberry Pi) that sits on your home network and delivers art and photos directly to your frame's display, bypassing Netgear's cloud entirely. You manage everything through the Nimbus app and website.
What does it cost?
The hardware is a one-time $69 (Mini) or $99 (Full). Nimbus service is a subscription you pick at checkout for your first frame — Starter ($4/mo or $40/yr), Basic ($6/mo or $65/yr), or Premier ($8/mo or $87/yr). One bridge can run several frames: each additional frame is half price, added when you pair it in the app. Your first frame's service period is included in this purchase.
Why do I need an account and a service plan?
The bridge connects to the Nimbus service to manage your frames, art, and playlists. There's no separate free tier — the service is what keeps your frames running, so every bridge comes with a service plan.
What do I do after I buy?
Setup is done through the Nimbus mobile app: power on your bridge, open the app, and follow the steps to connect it to your WiFi and pair your Meural frame(s). If you hit any snags, we're available to help you through it.
