Listen with intention.
Nothing else.

Mono is a minimalist audio device for podcasts and audiobooks — no glowing screens, no notifications, no distractions. Just sound, on your terms.

In a world of constant pings, endless scrolls, and glowing screens, something simple feels revolutionary.

Mono is our answer to that feeling — a device born from the desire to slow down, to listen with purpose, to disconnect without losing what matters. Inspired by the elegance of vintage radios and the clarity of modern design, Mono helps you reconnect with stories, ideas, and silence.

No apps demanding your attention.
No screen pulling you in.
Just podcasts and audiobooks, played through real buttons, a quiet E-Ink screen, and nothing else.

We believe that listening can be an act of presence.
Mono exists for those who want less noise — and more meaning.

Everything you need to listen. Nothing you don’t

Sync once, listen offline

Download your favorite podcasts or audiobooks via WiFi


Mono syncs directly with your content over WiFi, then disconnects — so you can listen anytime, anywhere, with zero distractions.

Wireless or wired — your choice

Bluetooth and USB-C headphone support


Mono lets you listen your way: connect wireless headphones via Bluetooth, or plug in directly with USB-C. Simple, flexible, distraction-free.

Controls that feel good

A tactile joystick and a magnetic volume wheel


Mono’s navigation is built around physical pleasure — click, rotate, and press with purpose. No tapping on glass. Every movement is deliberate, analog, and deeply satisfying.

E-Ink screen — calm by design

A non-glowing display that only shows what matters


The 4.2-inch E-Ink screen presents your currently playing title and basic controls in sharp black and white — visible in daylight, restful at night.

Compact, vintage soul

Pocket-sized with the charm of a classic radio


Mono takes inspiration from old FM radios: small, simple, with a dotted speaker grille and a matte black finish. It fits in your hand, but feels timeless.
