Mudita is a technology company that breaks prevailing trends. It creates electronics that make it easier for people to live in the here and now, allowing them to experience freedom and find joy in every moment. It appreciates the beauty of reality: its colours, scents, textures, emotions and human relationships.

Where Does the Brand Name Come From?

The word “Mudita” comes from Pali, a Middle Indo-Aryan language originating from the Indian subcontinent, and it has no direct equivalent in English. “Mudita” signifies pleasure and selfless joy derived from observing the prosperity of others.

Mudita – A Business Born Out of Passion

Michał Kiciński – co-founder of CD Projekt, the Polish video game producer – at one point in his career yearned to step off the mad merry-go-round. He became interested in mindfulness practices – over time, he delved deeper into meditation, established Retreat Centres in Urle and the Sacred Valley of the Incas, and also founded Mudita – a company supporting conscious living, away from the ubiquitous, distracting stimuli.

Everyday Mindfulness Reflected in Products

This is how devices that allow us to control our relationship with technology were born and continue to be developed. In line with Mudita's values, an alarm clock that supports healthy sleep was designed, among others. Eye-friendly E-ink screens in the Harmony alarm clock, a carefully chosen warm light hue in the alarm clocks, and high-quality, specially composed waking sounds like the Baltic Sea murmur – these are just a few of the features offered by Mudita products.

The main task of these alarm clocks is to improve sleep quality and promote healthy rest habits. The alarm clocks offer an alternative to smartphone alarms and reduce our exposure to blue, stimulating light. They provide us with soothing sounds and a minimal amount of distracting interactions, ensuring sleep is more harmonious and deeper.

Action Confirmed by Science

Three of Mudita's bestsellers: Kompakt, Harmony 2, and Bell 2, hold Calm Tech™ Platinum certificates (meaning the highest level in their classification), awarded by the American Calm Tech Institute.

This distinction is no accident. The certificate is based on an 81-point standard that assesses products across aspects such as: attention, durability, light, sound, and materials. In other words – it's independent confirmation that Mudita devices genuinely help reduce stress, protect attention, and support healthier daily rituals.

Discover the Award-Winning Mudita Alarm Clocks

  • Mudita Kompakt – a minimalist phone with an E Ink® display that doesn't distract. It features an offline+ mode and a solid, durable construction.
  • Mudita Harmony 2 – an alarm clock that wakes you up exactly how you'd want to wake up. Gentle light, subtle sounds, and signals designed not to overwhelm the senses.
  • Mudita Bell 2 – screen-free, tactile, and natural. An alarm clock that offers clear bell sounds instead of a digital beep – simplicity that works.

Calm Tech™ Platinum is more than just a mark of quality. It's proof that technology can indeed be calm, thoughtful, and good for people.

Design

Mudita products draw inspiration from the timeless aesthetics of Japanese and Scandinavian design. Their rounded lines evoke a sense of calm and simplicity. The colour palette is carefully chosen, and the details are perfected to a T. Small touches reflect Mudita’s respect for nature and commitment to creating objects that are in harmony with the world. Awarded international accolades such as the Red Dot Design Award and IF Design Award, the Bell and Harmony alarm clocks, along with the Moment and Moment NR watches, were designed by Polish designer Martyna Piaściak, who was honoured with the Designer of the Year 2023 title by the Institute of Industrial Design. The brand's philosophy is also underscored by its logo, inspired by the lotus flower: beautiful, delicate, and requiring protection.

True Change Requires Tools, But Also Education

Mudita doesn't stop at developing the best possible products. It gathers and creates valuable content and shares knowledge. It joins forces with like-minded researchers, organisations, and simply people from all over the world to open up a discussion about living a mindful life, which we sometimes so desperately need.
