Small tools,
sharp claws.
Kucheng Labs builds software that does one thing well and then gets out of the way. Local-first by default, encrypted where it matters, and boring on purpose.

What we've shipped.
Everything here runs on infrastructure we control.
Tarmus
An SSH client for Windows and Android with an end-to-end encrypted vault. Hosts, identities and Ed25519 keys sync between devices — the server only ever stores ciphertext.
tarmus.megumin.dev → Browser toolWheel of Fate
Put the options in, choose how many draws, and watch the distribution resolve. Rejection-sampled CSPRNG, chi-square verdict, nothing leaves the page — up to 1000 draws.
megumin.dev/fate →Next
Something for the terminal. Not ready to talk about it yet — this card is a placeholder and will be replaced when there's something real to link.
soonLibraries
Small Go and TypeScript utilities extracted from the products above, published as they stabilise. Placeholder until the first one is public.
soonFour rules we don't bend.
- local-first
- Your data lives on your device. Sync is a convenience layered on top, not a dependency — if our server disappears tomorrow, your files still open.
- encrypt it
- Secrets are encrypted before they leave. Where sync is involved, the server holds ciphertext. Keys derive on-device from a password we never receive and cannot reset.
- no telemetry
- No analytics, no fingerprinting, no third-party scripts. Pages ship with their own assets and open connections to no one but their own origin.
- boring tech
- Better engineering. Less hype, fewer dependencies, and more reliability. Build with proven tools that stand the test of time, not just the latest trends. Because good engineering should solve problems, not create 3 a.m. surprises.
Small studio.
Serious software.
A little cat energy.
Kucheng Labs is an independent software studio building thoughtful, reliable software for businesses and curious minds alike.
Less hype, more purpose. Simple solutions, built to last.
The name is a cat joke. The engineering isn't.
