There is a quietness to this device — a presence that resists the chaos we’ve come to accept from our phones. The Mudita Kompakt is not just a phone. It is a deliberate subtraction. It does less, on purpose.
And that is what makes it remarkable.
Reimagining the Phone, From the Inside Out
At the heart of the Kompakt is an E Ink display — clean, gentle, and visible even in the brightest sunlight. It’s a screen that doesn’t scream for your attention. It invites you to look, then leave.
Everything about this phone has been reconsidered. The familiar weight of plastic and glass gives way to something lighter, almost soft. The matte texture resists fingerprints. The buttons are satisfyingly tactile. You want to hold it. You want to use it less.
Communication, Refined
The Kompakt is a phone that handles… phone things. Texts. Calls. Contacts. A music player that doesn’t pretend to be a streaming platform. An alarm clock that doesn’t show you headlines.
Texting, while limited by the constraints of E Ink, is surprisingly usable. The keyboard isn’t fast, but it’s intentional. You type like you mean it.
Calling works flawlessly. In testing with a North American SIM, it simply worked — crisp calls, no issues. And really, isn’t that the whole point?
Thoughtful Additions
There are some genuinely useful features hidden just below the surface. A meditation timer. A breathing exercise app. A calendar. A music player. All offline. All blissfully unconnected.
And then there’s Mudita OS — open-source, minimalist, with an interface designed not to demand but to support. Everything you need is there. Nothing more.

Who This Is For
This is not a phone for everyone. It is a phone for the person who looks at their current device and feels… tired. For the person who wants their attention back. Who wants to reclaim their time, their focus, their evenings.
This is not nostalgia. This is clarity.
