Apps that respect the people who use them.

Each built with care for a single audience and a single problem. No accounts, no surveillance, no dark patterns — just thoughtful software.

A small studio
with a long-term view.

JTR Labs LLC is an independent software studio based in the United States. We build apps and websites the way we'd want them built — quietly opinionated, free of dark patterns, and respectful of your time and your data.

We're not a venture-funded growth machine. We're a small team shipping software that's worth keeping on your home screen, or in your browser tabs — not optimized for monthly active users, but for the people we hope will recognize the care taken.

Every product is built around a single, honest question: would we keep using this in five years? If the answer isn't yes, we don't ship it.
