We work in public
Where a project is open, code, discussions, and decisions are visible to everyone. Anyone can follow the development or suggest improvements.
About
An independent software studio
Naxod Lab is a small, Europe-based studio. We design software, apps, and websites that favor simplicity: easy to use, easy to maintain, no unnecessary features. Our code is public where possible, and our projects are made to last.
Consistency over haste
We prefer regular, careful releases to big announcements. The software we make is designed to stay useful over time.
We maintain what we build
After release we keep fixing and improving. And where the code is open, anyone can carry the work on, tomorrow too.
Principles
How we think
Simplicity first
A good tool is used without explanations. We add features only when they are genuinely needed.
Open by default
Code, reports, and discussions are public. When something is broken, it shows.
Respect for the user
Few permissions, careful data handling, no surprises in later versions.
Light on your computer
Software shouldn’t ask you to buy a new computer. Our applications run well on older machines too.
Technologies
What we work with
Mobile development
Android apps in Kotlin: everyday use, on-phone storage, only the permissions that are needed.
Desktop applications
Tools for Windows, macOS, and Linux: simple installation, local processing, clear interfaces.
Web platforms
Static sites and server applications: fast, accessible, no user tracking.
Document analysis
Automatic summaries and analysis run on the user’s computer, without sending files to external services.
We experiment with new tools as well, always with the same criteria: simplicity and open code.
Collaboration
How we work together
Based in Europe, working remotely. Development happens in public repositories where possible: reports, discussions, and proposals are open to everyone.
Anyone using our software is free to stay or to choose something else, with no strings attached: that is why we try to make it genuinely useful, every day.
