## What is Mini Computer?

A tiny retro PC in your phone.

Mini Computer is a little retro desktop for iPhone and iPad with 32 programs: games, pixel art, code, notes and more. Open the lid, then work in movable windows with an on-screen keyboard and a virtual trackpad. The native iOS app adapts to your screen, including iPhone Duo.

TAKE A RETRO BREAK
Play Mines and Cards, try the arcade demos and watch patterns grow in LifeLab.

DRAW A SPRITE, ANIMATE IT
Draw 16 × 16 pixel art in SpriteLab, build four frames, watch the live preview and export a PNG. You can also sketch simple vector shapes and lay out a small page or slide.

CODE ON IT
Run small JavaScript experiments in DevLab and see the output. Try a shell-like terminal, selected SQL queries, regex testing, function graphs, and JSON and Base64 tools. They are compact tools for learning and experimenting, with supported commands and formats.

WINDOWS, KEYS AND A TRACKPAD
Drag, resize, minimize and restore windows. Type on the computer's own keys or use its trackpad. Switch between laptop, full-trackpad and fullscreen views, and pick a look: Tide, Ivory, Ember, BlackBox, Phosphor or Studio.

WRITE IT, PLAN IT
Write and save notes, work out numbers with spreadsheet formulas and move tasks from To Do to Done on the task board.

YOUR FILES, OFFLINE
Your work is kept as local virtual files. Import, export and back up through the Files app. Local programs work offline; live web reading and HTTP requests need an internet connection.

NOTHING IN THE WAY
No ads, no account and no in-app purchases.

GOOD TO KNOW
The app interface is in English. Mini Computer is a desktop simulation inside an app. It does not replace the Home Screen, install Linux, run native PC applications or connect to a remote PC. The terminal and SQL support selected commands. The arcade and video timeline tools include demos, and WirePeek is a clearly labelled network simulation. Some creative tools keep their state only for the session, so save or export what you want to keep. Deleting the app can erase its local files.
