Witch Daddy Labs is a tiny Melbourne studio that ships weird little open source apps — the kind you install once, own forever, and actually enjoy using offline. We build for curious builders who would rather tinker on their own machine than rent someone else's cloud.
Every project starts with a practical itch: a workflow that should stay local, a UI that should stay honest, and code you can fork without signing a EULA. We open source what we can, keep scope small on purpose, and treat 'boring reliability' as a feature — not an afterthought.
Based in Melbourne, Australia, we ship tools that stay useful when the internet is flaky — and honest when it is not.
- Local-first defaults — your data stays yours.
- Small scope, sharp edges — one job done well beats ten half-done.
- Open source where possible — fork it, fix it, make it weirder.
- Accessible interfaces, even when styled loud.
- No telemetry theatre — if we do not need the number, we do not collect it.
