a software lab — est. 2026
Software that treats your data like it's yours.
minatolabs builds privacy-first, local-first products. Everything you make stays on your device, encrypted — our servers never hold anything readable.
01 — the principle
If our servers were breached tomorrow, there would be nothing readable to steal.
Most software works by moving your data onto someone else's computer. Every document, every screenshot, every file — sitting in a database you can't see, protected by promises.
We build in the opposite direction. minatolabs products do their work on your device and encrypt what they store there. Data doesn't travel unless a feature genuinely requires it — and when it must, it leaves encrypted.
Not a policy. An architecture. We can't read your data, lose your data, or be forced to hand over your data — because we never had it.

The same principle, shipped three ways.
03 — one account
One key to the whole lab.
Every minatolabs product signs in through a single account at accounts.minatolabs.com. One identity, no per-app accounts to juggle — and it holds your email and license, not your data.
