Software, made with care.

Aurora Labz is an independent studio making desktop apps, browser tools and Obsidian plugins. It started with sound: noise, rain and radio. More kinds of apps are on the way.

About

A one-person studio

Software that does one job well, stays out of the way, and leaves your data alone.
  • Everything runs on your machine. No accounts, no ads, no tracking.
  • Apps work offline wherever they can.
  • Paid apps are one-off purchases. No subscriptions.
  • Built in the evenings, released when it feels right, and looked after once it ships.
