Privacy isn't a feature
We collect only what an app genuinely needs, keep it on your device whenever we can, and never sell it. Litmus, for one, runs entirely on your phone — nothing to breach, subpoena, or monetize.
Independent software studio
Careful tools for a noisy world.
Kan Labs is an independent studio building focused, well-crafted apps — software that respects your time, your attention, and your data. Our first is Litmus, a private, on-device fact-checker for everything you read.
How we build
A few things we won't
A few things we won't
compromise on.
We're a small studio, and we like it that way — it lets us make decisions on principle instead of growth targets.
One thing, done well
We'd rather ship a focused tool than a feature checklist. No bloat, no upsells, and no account walls between you and the work.
Honest by design
No ads, no trackers, no dark patterns. If you're not paying with money, you shouldn't be paying with your data either.
