The whole admin, reconsidered from the ground up.
Every surface you reach for daily, made fast and legible. Built entirely on the REST API, so it's exactly as capable as WordPress itself.
Your plugins, already wired in.
Minn ships adapters for the plugins WordPress sites actually run: more than one hundred of them. Each reads through the plugin's own API or storage, shows up in the right surface automatically, and needs zero setup. That breadth usually costs privacy (a SaaS dashboard in the middle, your data in someone else's cloud); Minn covers your whole stack from your own server and never phones home. Everything else stays one click away in wp-admin.
Don't see yours? Any plugin can register its own surface, panel or provider with one filter: see how.
Dark & light, done right.
Bundled fonts, both themes remembered per user, and zero external requests. No CDNs, no font servers, no telemetry: Minn ships everything it needs, and nothing about you leaves your server.
It doesn't replace wp-admin.
Minn lives alongside the classic dashboard at /minn-admin/. Everything you know stays exactly where it was. This is simply a better front door.
Speaks your language.
Twenty-four languages, covering about half of WordPress installs. Every user picks their own, the whole interface follows, and translations arrive as WordPress language packs through the same Updates screen as everything else. Nothing extra to install or maintain.
Right to left, genuinely mirrored.
Arabic, Hebrew and Persian get an interface that actually moves to the correct side: sidebar, menus, popovers and settings, not a flipped layout left half broken. Addresses, file paths and version numbers stay readable left to right inside the surrounding text, and every count follows its language's own plural rules.
Deliberately made. Open to scrutiny.
See who directs Minn, how agent-built releases stay accountable, and the safeguards that make the plugin fit for production sites.
Install like any other plugin.
Any plugin adds a view with one filter.
A declarative descriptor, no JavaScript required. Every adapter in the library above uses this same API, and it's open to everyone: surfaces with tabs, detail cards, status cards, actions, bulk actions, schema-driven settings views and setup gates, editor panels, traffic providers, cache purgers, design libraries.
Fair questions.
The ones people actually ask before putting a new admin on a real site.
Does Minn replace wp-admin?
No. Minn is a second front door at /minn-admin/. Classic wp-admin stays fully available, and Minn links you there whenever a job is better done in it. You can use both side by side forever.
What happens if I deactivate or delete it?
Nothing is lost. Minn writes native WordPress data only: real block markup, core options, core users. Deactivate the plugin and your site is exactly as it was, with nothing to migrate and nothing to unwind.
Is Minn available in my language?
Twenty-four languages ship with it, from Japanese and German to Arabic and Vietnamese, covering about half of WordPress installs. Each user picks their own language on their profile, right-to-left languages get a properly mirrored layout, and translations install themselves as WordPress language packs through the normal Updates screen.
Will it work with my plugins?
More than one hundred plugins have adapters that show up automatically with zero setup, and the list grows nearly every release. Plugins without an adapter keep working normally; their screens stay one click away in wp-admin. The supported plugins doc says exactly what each integration covers.
What about page builders?
Safe by design. Posts built with Elementor, Bricks, Divi and friends open read-only in Minn with an edit button that hands you to the builder, because the builder owns that content. Minn never writes to a builder's data.
How do updates arrive?
On the normal WordPress updates screen, served from the project's GitHub releases. Every download is verified against a checksum published with the release before it is allowed to install.
Why isn't it on wordpress.org?
Mostly cadence: Minn has shipped more than twenty releases since July, and the GitHub pipeline sustains that pace while keeping updates on the standard updates screen, checksum-verified. A directory listing may come later.
My security plugin restricts the REST API. Will Minn break?
Almost never. Minn uses the same authenticated, same-origin REST calls the block editor uses, so hardening that blocks anonymous REST traffic leaves it intact. If something does interfere, the System page's health checks name the problem instead of leaving you guessing.
Who can open /minn-admin/?
Only logged-in users your site already trusts to edit content, and each role sees only what wp-admin would allow it. Every action is re-checked on the server through WordPress core's own permissions.
Why can't I find a particular setting?
On purpose. Minn surfaces the settings people change day to day; the long tail deliberately stays in wp-admin, one click away. If a screen you reach for often is missing, open an issue.
What does it cost?
Nothing. Minn Admin is free and MIT licensed, with no Pro tier, no upsells and no nags. If it earns a place in your work, a star or a GitHub sponsorship keeps it moving.
