Flipper builds pocket-sized hardware tools for hackers, security researchers and technology enthusiasts. The company's working principle is radical openness: every specification is published and all firmware source code is made available, so that users can modify, extend and understand their devices down to the metal. The firm operates in consumer electronics and cybersecurity, with a technical focus spanning embedded systems, firmware development, RF and wireless protocols, microcontrollers and hardware design.
Its flagship product, Flipper Zero, is a portable multi-tool that can read, copy and emulate wireless signals, including NFC, RFID, Sub-GHz radio and infrared. It is built on an ultra-low-power STM32 microcontroller, and its open firmware supports custom applications developed with Arduino IDE and PlatformIO. The device has a community of millions of users worldwide, who share discoveries and build apps within an open development ecosystem. Flipper Lab is a web platform for the device.
In development is Flipper One, a fully open Linux-based cyberdeck powered by the Rockchip RK3576 processor, which extends the same openness to a more powerful computing platform. Engineering work therefore covers Linux-based computing, open source software and hardware design alongside the embedded stack.
The company describes itself as mission-driven, holding that more people should understand how technology actually works. Its culture signals emphasise an open, community-led development model in which users are treated as collaborators rather than consumers.
