How to get the free Muse Home Link

What is Muse Home Link?

Muse Home Link is a small USB C device, and the first gadget in a new program Meta calls Muse Gadgets. Nat Friedman announced the program on X on October 2, 2026. Home Link is built to bring Muse into your home setup, working with the same agent you already talk to in the app.

The device is only half of the story. With Muse Gadgets, Meta is opening the door for other people to build hardware that works with Muse, and Home Link is the reference device: Meta's own example of what a Muse gadget looks like, and the one it is handing out first.

Who can get a free Home Link?

The announced terms are simple, and they are worth reading exactly as Meta stated them:

• 5,000 units are being given away.
• They are free for active US Muse subscribers.
• One per subscriber.
• First come, first served, while supplies last.

Notice what eligibility starts with: an active Muse subscription in the US. If you have not got Muse yet, that is your step zero, and it is the step this site exists for, because Muse access still runs on invite codes. Everything else about the giveaway is timing.

How do you claim a free Home Link?

Meta has announced the giveaway but not a claim page, so the method below is built strictly on the announced terms. Anyone who shows you a finished claim form today is ahead of Meta itself.

1. Step 1: Be an active Muse subscriber in the US. If you still need access, grab an invite code from the community pool and finish setting up your account first. No subscription, no gadget.
2. Step 2: Watch the official Muse app and Meta announcements for the claim window. As of October 3, 2026, Meta has not published a claim link. Never pay anyone for a free gadget, and never hand your invite code to a claim site.
3. Step 3: When the window opens, claim straight away. Five thousand units, one per subscriber, first come first served. This is a stock race, not a lottery, and the pool shrinks with every claim.
4. Step 4: Keep the Muse app updated and its notifications on. The claim window will be announced through official channels, and you want to hear about it the day it lands, not the week after.

That is the whole method, because that is all Meta has announced. We will update this page the moment a claim route is confirmed, and our Muse available countries tracker follows every Muse expansion announcement as it lands.

What is the Muse Gadgets SDK?

Alongside the device, Meta open sourced the tools to build more of them: ESP32 firmware and a Linux SDK, released under the Apache 2.0 license, at github.com/facebookincubator/muse-gadget-sdk.

For builders, this is arguably the bigger news. Anyone can now design a gadget that works with Muse, starting from Meta's own firmware instead of a blank page. Expect a wave of small hardware from independent makers: buttons, docks, displays and sensors that all talk to the same agent. If you build things, the code is public and the license lets you build on it for your own products.

For everyone else, the SDK is a promise that Home Link is not a one off stunt. Meta is seeding an ecosystem, and ecosystems are what turn a gadget into a category.

Can you get a free Home Link outside the US?

No. The free units are for US subscribers only, and Meta has not announced a giveaway for any other country. That will sting if you have been following Muse from somewhere it has not launched yet, but it follows the same pattern as Muse itself: the United States first, everyone else waiting on the rollout.

Your move, if you are elsewhere, is the waitlist. Join it and you get a code the day Muse launches in your country. If gadgets follow Muse into new markets, the people already set up will be the people in line, and the waitlist is how you hold your place in it.

What happens when the free units run out?

Meta has not announced a price or a sale date for Home Link, so once the 5,000 are claimed, that may be it for a while. Nobody outside Meta knows the plan, and any site quoting you a price today is making it up.

The SDK is the safety net. Because the firmware and the SDK are open source, other makers can build gadgets that work with Muse even if Meta's own device stays scarce. Missing the giveaway does not end the story. It just means your first Muse gadget might come from a small maker instead of from Meta.
