MinUI is a minimalist custom launcher and libretro frontend for retro handheld consoles like the Miyoo Mini, Anbernic RG35xx, and Trimui devices. It provides a distraction-free game list, in-emulator menu with save states, automatic sleep/resume, and a single SD card that works across multiple devices.

Use cases

replace stock firmware UI on a Miyoo Mini or Anbernic handheld
run retro games with a simple launcher and no clutter
use one SD card across multiple retro handhelds
resume games exactly where I left off after power off
access save states and disc changing from a consistent in-game menu
set up a minimal emulation frontend for Game Boy, NES, SNES, Genesis, and PS1

When to choose

you want a fast, focused launcher with no themes, boxart, or settings
you own a supported Miyoo, Anbernic, Trimui, GKD, Powkiddy, or MagicX handheld
you value automatic sleep, resume, and clean display names over configurability

When to avoid

you want heavy customization, themes, boxart, or rich settings menus
you need a frontend for PC or non-handheld platforms
you need ongoing device support - the repository was archived in November 2025 and is read-only
