The Mudita Kompakt is a minimalist phone that comes with a selection of apps developed specifically for this device and its E-ink display. While it's technically possible to manually install third-party apps, please keep in mind that sideloaded apps are not optimized for the Kompakt and might not always work as intended.
Mudita OS K
Mudita is responsible for the software and hardware of the Mudita Kompakt as installed by us (MuditaOS K package). At the moment, there is no app store available on the device.
Mudita OS K is based on the Android Open Source Project (AOSP), which makes it possible for users with the necessary technical skills to install Android APK files manually. However, we do advise caution due to the following:
Apps that are not specifically designed for our E-ink screen may be inconvenient to use.
Sideloaded apps could occasionally display errors due to limited integration with MuditaOS K.
MuditaOS K is designed to run without and does not support Google Services. Sideloaded apps that depend on Google Services likely won't be able to work correctly.
Since MuditaOS K does not include an APK loader, sideloading requires a computer with appropriate software connected to Mudita Kompakt via a USB-C cable.
While sideloading will not harm the device and any resulting issues can be resolved by restoring factory settings, it is not covered by the warranty. For example, if a sideloaded app causes unexpected battery drain or other performance issues, these would not qualify for warranty claims.
