Craft over slop
A lot of software today is generated, not built — assembled by a language model in an afternoon and shipped before anyone read the code. We reject that. Every line we release is written and reviewed by people who care how it ages.
About Westlabs
Westlabs LLC designs and builds native macOS applications and web products for people who care about the tools they use every day. We're based in Clovis, New Mexico, and we keep our lineup small on purpose.
Our story
Westlabs started with a simple frustration: the software we relied on had grown slow, noisy, and bloated. We thought it could be better — so we started building.
What began as a single utility has grown into a focused lineup of products used by tens of thousands of people around the world. We build two kinds of software — fast, native applications for macOS, and clean, dependable products for the web — and we give each one the attention it deserves.
What we believe
A lot of software today is generated, not built — assembled by a language model in an afternoon and shipped before anyone read the code. We reject that. Every line we release is written and reviewed by people who care how it ages.
Where our products use AI, you bring your own language model — your API key, your endpoint, your self-hosted instance. Your prompts and private data never flow through us, and never leave your infrastructure.
Our customers range from solo developers to fast-moving startups to established companies. One engineer can pick up our tools in minutes; a whole org can rely on them — without lock-in.
How we're organized
macOS and web engineers who care about performance and detail.
In-house design, biased toward clarity over decoration.
Real people answer support — the same people who build the products.
