@solv Welcome back to Mudita Kompakt, and thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed update!
It’s especially helpful to hear how your experience compares with the one you had six months ago. We are glad that the improvements to MuditaOS K, along with the growing selection of community-created apps, have made Kompakt a better fit for you this time around.
You’ve also raised several points that are worth addressing:
Mudita Kompakt doesn’t currently include a native Do Not Disturb mode. This feature is on our radar, although we cannot confirm a release date at this stage. Custom ringtones and notification sounds are already included in our 2026 roadmap, which will allow users to personalize the audio used for calls and notifications.
Calendar synchronization is also something we are considering. We know that being able to access synchronized calendars through an interface designed specifically for E Ink would be useful, but we don’t yet have a specific timeline for its implementation.
You asked about sounds & not knowing where they are coming from. Please check out this post I made regarding the subject. It may be helpful to recognize which sound is what. Since you said you use the app Signal, it may just be a network connection sound from that app (not necessarily a message). It happens to me, since I also use Signal.
Regarding the keyboard, could you let us know which version of MuditaOS K you currently have installed? The keyboard was significantly revamped in a recent update, so we would like to make sure you are using the newest available version. It sounds like you may already be, especially since you mentioned that the built-in keyboard has become much more usable for you.
As for Signal, since it is a third-party application, we unfortunately don’t have control over its interface, color scheme, or the way sent messages are displayed. We understand why the dark message bubbles can be difficult to read on an E Ink screen, but any changes to that design would need to be introduced by Signal’s developers.
We also appreciate the feedback about notification identification and bookmarks in Maps. Community tools can be a useful way to expand Kompakt according to individual needs, and it is great to see people developing solutions that remain compatible with the device’s more intentional approach.
Thank you again for revisiting Mudita Kompakt and sharing both what has improved and what could still be better. We are very happy to hear that you continue to appreciate its size, display, battery life, and flexibility.
