Tools built for people who
own their stack.
minatolabs builds focused, privacy-respecting software for individuals and teams that take their data seriously. No bloat. No tracking. Your data stays yours.
Two tools. One lab.
Focused software that does one thing exceptionally well.
Encrypts your files before they leave your device. By the time data reaches Arken's servers, it's already unreadable — to hackers, regulators, and us.
Automatically captures your desktop workflow click by click, then exports it as a professional annotated PDF or Markdown guide — in under five minutes.
Built on one principle:
“If we can read your files, we're not a storage provider. We're a liability.”
Every product minatolabs ships starts with the same question: what's the worst thing that could happen if someone breached us? If the answer is 'nothing, the data is unreadable' — we're on the right track.
One lab. Sharp tools.
minatolabs is a solo dev lab building privacy-respecting software for individuals, teams, and compliance-sensitive industries. No bloat, no SaaS tax — just focused tools that do one thing well.
Every product ships desktop-first or self-hosted-first. Your encryption keys never leave your device. Your data is yours.
