02About
Watari Labs is a software studio for people who want to own their data. We build local-first tools for media libraries, homelabs, and personal backup.
Each product solves a different problem. The standard is the same: clear actions, visible state, and a path back when something goes wrong.
Each product solves a different problem. The standard is the same: clear actions, visible state, and a path back when something goes wrong.
Local-first by design
The core work happens close to your data, on systems you control.
Clear before clever
You should know what the software is doing, what changed, and what comes next.
Recovery is part of the product
Failures happen. Good software makes them understandable and recoverable.
