MeowKit on Kickstarter

Tired of exposed PCBs and endless rewiring; no system widgets, no graphical interaction—hardly any user experience at all. The single-app workflow was even more frustrating: every new feature meant reflashing the entire device.

We loved learning from the community and building great open-source hardware projects, but kept bouncing between Arduino, STM32, and ESP. The result? A desk full of boards we only used once.

So I sketched this device on paper: a pocket-sized all-in-one body, with a sturdy CNC-6061 metal loop, built-in display, transparent BSP drivers, and a multi-app launcher. Ready to use out of the box, it supports AI conversations and MCP control, protocol hacking, DIY hardware extensions, desktop gadgets, an open-source SDK, and much more.

Designed for makers and hackers, it’s built to be a powerful yet easy-to-use development platform.
