Published 2–3 times per year in beautiful print, Offscreen Magazine is a slow, thoughtful counterbalance to the fast-paced tech coverage online. We explore innovative ideas through inspiring human stories. We love asking difficult questions about how we shape technology and how technology shapes us.
A fresh perspective
We go beyond the big headlines of the latest and greatest and provide a more balanced, human view of new trends and developments in technology.
A buzzword-free zone
Tired of blown-up success stories or click-baity listicles? Here at Offscreen, we care about inspiring stories without the FOMO.
Real people, real stories
Meet the faces behind the interfaces. Our mission is to show the unpolished, human side of success and failure. We go deep and personal and love to ask difficult questions.
The power of print
The smell of ink, the touch of paper – Offscreen is a beautifully tangible product with the multisensory experience only print offers.

Proudly indie
Offscreen is an independent publication made with a passion for print and technology. We’re funded by our loyal readers and a handful of sponsors.
As the name suggests, Offscreen is a magazine that explores what happens off the screen, outside the digital realm. We encourage you to put down your device, grab a cup of coffee, and enjoy a high-quality read the old-fashioned way. Reading it offline, in a distraction-free environment, allows us to step away from the fast-paced world of bits and pixels to reflect on our role within the web community and the impact we can have.
We love the tactile print experience and pride ourselves on making a superior product that doesn't cost the earth. (Offscreen is made from 100% recycled paper at our carbon-neutral printer in Berlin, Germany.) Find out more about our production.
Originally a web designer, Offscreen publisher and editor Kai Brach launched the first issue of Offscreen in early 2012. Weary of the fast pace and the ephemeral nature of digital, after ten years of pushing pixels as a freelancer Kai decided to create something more tangible. Offscreen largely remains a one-man operation and a proudly independent magazine supported by readers, patrons, and sponsors.
Based in beautiful Melbourne, Australia, Kai hopes to reinvigorate printed magazines as a choice of media that provides a welcome break from our always-on lifestyle. With Offscreen he combines his love for technology and the web and the unique, mulitsensory experience of print. Find out more about Offscreen.
