A studio of consumer software & developer tools · India

Misc42 LabsHindi-first products, and the developer tools we use to build them.

Two kinds of things ship from this studio — consumer software (and a bit of hardware) for the 700M+ Indians whose first language isn't English, and the open-source developer tools the studio uses to make them. No analytics. No cloud middleware. No subscription traps. One-time licenses, offline-first runtime, and code that respects your battery.

About

One person. Sharp ideas only.

Misc42 Labs is the studio of Tanay Misra, based in India. Two parallel arms — consumer software for Indian users, and the developer tools the studio uses to make them. The tools half is open-source because if a workshop instrument is sharp enough to ship our own products, it's sharp enough to share.

The studio model means slow-on-purpose: ship a product when it's actually good, not when investor calendars demand it. Each consumer product gets its own deep landing page on its own domain; the dev tools live on GitHub.

Bias toward LAN-first, zero-cloud, offline-respecting design. If a feature requires shipping your data to a server we don't control, we don't build it.
