Mintlifys

Mintlifys is a consumer technology company that develops modular wearable devices and software aimed at personal wellbeing and productivity. The company markets a platform that combines hardware modules with an AI-powered software layer designed to adapt to individual user routines while emphasizing privacy and user control.

The flagship platform, LifeOS, supports modular wearables—users can attach different sensors, displays, and battery modules to a base device. The companion LifeApp provides health tracking, time management, and task automation, with machine-learning features that adapt to user patterns. Mintlifys promotes an open-standards approach to interoperate with compatible sensors and third-party services, while offering on-device data processing to minimize cloud exposure.

Founded in 2015 in Berlin by Mara Vogel and Jens Richter, Mintlifys released its first modular watch in 2017 and expanded distribution across Europe in 2019. The company pursued a North American launch in 2021 and has grown through partnerships with retailers, fitness studios, and enterprise wellness programs.

Reception has been mixed. Critics praise the modular design, privacy protections, and repairability, but some note a premium price and a relatively small ecosystem of third-party apps and accessories. The company has received design and sustainability awards for product design and responsible manufacturing.

In its sustainability efforts, Mintlifys emphasizes repairability, modular upgrades, and a take-back program. It publishes annual reports on material usage and aims to reduce e-waste through component reuse.
