HackyFi: Built for Hackers, Makers & Researchers

Meet HackyFi



The Problem

  1. Most USB hacking or automation tools are:
  2. Too big to carry daily
  3. Locked to one OS or language
  4. Lacking feedback (no screen, no status)
  5. Overkill for quick experiments and demos

Makers, pentesters, educators, and researchers need something smaller, faster, and flexible.

HackyFi is an ultra-compact USB-C dongle with a built-in display, buttons, storage, and full cross-platform support. Designed for hackers, makers, educators, and researchers, it lets you plug in, trigger workflows instantly, and code it your way — whether you're experimenting, automating, or learning. Small enough for your keychain. Powerful enough for real-world projects.

HackyFi isn’t locked to a single purpose — it becomes whatever you program it to be.

Runs seamlessly on:

  1. Windows
  2. Linux
  3. Mac
  4. Android (via USB-C OTG)

It’s small enough to live on a keychain, yet powerful enough to run serious workflows.

Supplies

Hardware :

  1. HackyFi - Get early access to hardware from kickstarter

Software :

  1. Thonny - Download and install need for programming

Key Highlights
