Jose Briones, a leading voice in the dumbphone community, shares his early thoughts on Mudita Kompakt. Check out his review!

The Mudita Philosophy:
Living More With Less

In today’s world, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the constant stream of notifications, apps, and digital noise.

We felt it too, which is why we created Mudita Kompakt, a minimalist E Ink phone designed to help you reclaim your time and reconnect with what truly matters to you.

At Mudita, we believe technology should support your life – not control it. 

Despite their incredible capabilities, we saw how smartphones often take away our precious moments – time with loved ones, the beauty of a sunset, or even the pleasure of a quiet walk. Mudita Kompakt is our solution, designed to enhance your life, not interrupt it.

The Problem: Screen Time vs Real Life

Our reliance on smartphones has reached a tipping point, affecting our focus, well-being, and personal connections. These stats (and plenty more) show why a shift toward mindful technology is now more essential than ever.

Minimalism, Clarity, Privacy

At the core of Mudita Kompakt is MuditaOS K, a custom-built operating system based on AOSP (Android Open Source Project).

Only essential apps are included, focusing on purposeful functionality and removing the clutter of unnecessary features. This ensures a clean, intentional digital space that keeps you free from distractions.


MuditaOS K has been carefully stripped down to remove unnecessary features, prioritizing simplicity and privacy. No Google services are included, ensuring your data is never shared or monetized by third parties. 


Tailored for E Ink®: We’ve optimized MuditaOS K for the unique demands of E Ink displays. The result is a smooth, distraction-free interface with a clean, paper-like look that’s gentle on the eyes.

Offline+ Mode Integration: MuditaOS K fully supports the hardware-based Offline+ Mode, giving you complete control over your device’s connectivity and privacy at all times.

Technology for mindful living

Mudita Kompakt fits comfortably in your hand and pocket, thanks to its sleek, ergonomic shape.

The soft-touch polycarbonate back offers a durable feel, and with its dust and splash resistance (IP54), it’s built to handle everyday life. A metal frame beneath the surface adds extra durability, protecting the phone from shocks and wear.

Early Preview (DVT)

Here’s an early look at Mudita Kompakt in action, showcasing the clarity of the E Ink display and offering a preview of a few interactive elements and the minimalist OS design.

Available in Three Colors – Choose from Charcoal Black, Pebble Gray, or Natural White to match your style.

Features

Mudita Center: Your Command Center

Mudita Kompakt can be updated directly from the phone (OTA), ensuring you always have the latest features and improvements.

Additionally, for more control and functionality, Mudita Center is a desktop application available on Windows, macOS, and Linux. It lets you back up your data, and manage your contacts – all while keeping your information private and secure.

Connectivity That Fits Your Needs

Choosing the right version of Mudita Kompakt depends on how and where you plan to use it. The global mobile infrastructure varies significantly, especially between North America and the rest of the world. That’s why Mudita Kompakt is available in two versions: Global Optmized and North American Optimized.

Global Optimized: This version features network certifications in Europe, the US, Australia, and New Zealand, including FCC and PTCRB, ensuring dependable connectivity when traveling to North America, Asia, and South America.

North America Optimized: Tailored for consistent and dependable connectivity in the US and Canada, where mobile networks have unique requirements compared to the rest of the globe. This version will still work in other parts of the world, though not as reliably as in North America.

By choosing the right version for your needs, you ensure the best possible experience, whether you need dependable Global coverage or priority connectivity in North America.

Project Timeline

Michał Kiciński’s Story

Michał Kiciński, co-founder of CD Projekt, the studio behind titles like The Witcher and Cyberpunk 2077, has always been driven by the power of technology to connect and inspire.

After years of success in the gaming industry, however, he found himself at a crossroads, realizing that constant connection was reshaping how people live. Michał began to imagine technology that could support a more balanced life – a way for people to stay connected yet grounded. This reflection sparked the idea for Mudita – a brand centered on creating devices that encourage mindful living and conscious connection. Mudita Kompakt is the latest realization of that vision.

“In a world of constant connection, I realized the need for a device that allows for disconnection. For the kind of technology, that would put people’s health and wellbeing first.”

Whether it’s the creatives sketching out ideas, the tech wizards making them a reality, or the behind-the-scenes heroes working in the shadows, everyone has played a part. From those who keep the lights on and the coffee brewing to the ones ensuring every step runs smoothly… Mudita Kompakt is the result of countless hands working together.


We’re proud to say that Mudita is a client-first company, offering not only exceptional customer support but also full dedication in finding solutions for any issues that may arise. Whether it means helping our clients resolve matters or continuously improving our own standards, we stand behind every product we create!

What Does Mudita Mean?

Mudita, from the ancient Pali language, means finding joy in the happiness of others. It’s one of the core concepts of Buddhist philosophy, representing unselfish, compassionate joy. This concept supports our mission to create minimalist technology that promotes physical and mental well-being.
