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

We’ll build the first working Mono device: joystick controls, E-Ink screen, and offline playback. Hardware and software come to life.
A small group of early users will receive beta units for hands-on testing. Your feedback will refine every detail — from UI flow to materials.
We’ll go live on Kickstarter with a final prototype, demo video, and early-backer offers. Let’s bring Mono into the world, together.
Mono goes into manufacturing. First units ship to our backers. You’ll finally hold the device you helped create.
