Reading the grid
Rows are habits.
Columns are days.
A lit square means you completed that habit that day. Gaps show what’s slipping.
- Rows
- Up to eight habits you choose
- Columns
- Your last eight days, today on the right
- Colours
- Each row glows in its habit’s colour
- Lights
- A day you completed the habit
Logging a habit
Log it on your phone.
See it on your desk.
Log a habit in the Ritlum app and its light appears on mini a moment later. It stays lit after you put your phone down.
Watch today’s column fill, one habit at a time.
NFC check-ins
Check in by tapping
an NFC tag.
Stick an NFC tag on something you already use: the kettle, your running shoes, the book on your nightstand. Tap it with your iPhone to log the habit and mini lights up. Five tags come in the box.

- 2Tap it with your iPhone
- 3The row lights up on mini
Morning to midnight
Bright when you need it.
Dark when you don’t.
Clock mode
Switch to a white pixel clock. The time scrolls across the grid and keeps running on mini once it’s synced.
Brightness
Turn it down for the evening with a slider in the app. Mini remembers the setting.
Sleep schedule
Pick when it dims and when it wakes. Mini goes fully dark overnight and comes back on by itself, even with your phone in another room.
The Ritlum app
Set it up in
the Ritlum app.
Mini is configured from the Ritlum app for iPhone. You choose which habits it shows and adjust its settings there.
Choose the rows
Choose up to eight habits and drag them into order, or match your Home screen. A live preview shows mini as it looks right now.
Settings
Brightness, clock mode, the sleep schedule and firmware updates all live in the Tracker tab.
Sleep schedule
Set when mini dims and when it wakes. It runs the schedule on its own, without your phone.
Also in the app
Goals you can count or time, history and stats, a Home Screen widget, reminders, and sync across your devices with Sign in with Apple. More about the app
Connected without the cloud
Nearby is enough.
Mini talks directly to the Ritlum app on your iPhone. It doesn’t need its own account, Wi-Fi network or cloud service to do its job.
Local Bluetooth
Habit history, colours, brightness, clock mode and the sleep schedule go straight from your iPhone to mini.
Remembers its place
Your last display and settings are stored on mini. Unplug it, plug it back in, and it picks up where it left off.
Gets better
When new firmware is out, the app downloads it and installs it on mini over Bluetooth.
Private by design
No microphone, no camera, no Wi-Fi. Mini only knows what the app tells it about your habits.
Finishes
Available in white,
sakura or blue grey.
Each case is 3D printed in matte PLA and assembled by hand.

Questions
Questions and answers
Does mini need Wi-Fi or an account?
No. Mini connects to the Ritlum app on your iPhone over Bluetooth. It has no Wi-Fi and no account of its own.
What happens when my phone isn’t nearby?
Mini keeps showing your habits. Your display and settings are stored on the device, and the sleep schedule keeps running. New check-ins appear the next time your iPhone is in range.
What if it loses power?
It comes back to the same habit view, brightness and sleep schedule when you plug it in again. The clock is set again automatically the next time the app connects.
Does it work with Android?
No. Mini is set up and updated through the Ritlum app, which is only available for iPhone for now.
How many habits can it show?
Up to eight, one per row, across your last eight days with today on the right. You choose which habits appear and in what order.
Do I need Ritlum Pro?
No. Mini works with the free Ritlum app. Pairing, the habit grid, clock mode, brightness, the sleep schedule and firmware updates are all included.
Do I need NFC tags?
Five come in the box, but they’re optional. Tap one with your iPhone to log a habit, or check in from the app or the widget as usual.
Is there a hidden game?
Yes. In the app’s Device tab, tap the tracker’s status line five times and mini turns into a tiny game of Snake, played on its 64 lights.
