Learn about vigilant mode.

V1.3 Updates:

  • Library vs Folder home
    • Library — classic iPod-style browsing with indexing and metadata (Artists, Albums, Songs, Playlists, Up Next)
    • Folder — Home lists the media folders on your disk (Music, Audiobooks, Videos, Podcasts, and anything else you put at the top level). System junk is hidden. Playlists, Games, Settings, and Now Playing stay on Home.
  • Playlists in Folder mode — same create / edit / rename / delete hub as Library mode
  • Remember last folder — after playing something, Menu brings you back to the folder you were in
  • Battery gauge — more stable full charge behavior (no more jumping from 100% down to the mid-80s after sitting idle)
  • Hold / idle power — less background work while locked and dark so overnight drain is reduced

IMPORTANT

This is beta software. Back up your existing Rockbox installation before installing. This OS removes much of Rockbox's stock functionality. Access to other installed themes will no longer be available.

Installation instructions are included inside each download.

Minimal OS is built on Rockbox and would not exist without the work of the Rockbox project and its contributors.

Development note: Minimal OS was developed with the assistance of AI coding tools, reviewed and refined before release.
