PatakoLabs is an independent software company that ships focused consumer apps. Live products include FoodTracker (serious iOS macro and calorie logging), MicroReps (free macOS desk movement), EarnPlay (iPhone and iPad screen-time rewards), Close Idle Tabs (Microsoft Edge idle-tab closer), MD Quick Preview (macOS Quick Look for Markdown), ScriptPal (AI scene partner for actors), and One-Person Product Lab (Claude Code operating system). We care about fast iteration, clear documentation, and shipping things people actually open more than once.
We are not chasing buzzwords. We use AI where it removes friction—not as a substitute for thoughtful product design.
What we optimize for
Clarity over complexity. Privacy-aware defaults. Interfaces that respect your time. When we charge for software, we want the value to be obvious.
Flagship products
FoodTracker is our flagship iPhone app for serious macro and calorie logging: precise numbers, editable portions, optional photo estimates you confirm, weight history, and fasting — without ads, coaches, or chatbots.
EarnPlay is our flagship iPhone and iPad app for kids' screen time: parents gate selected apps behind short learning games, and kids earn play minutes by finishing them.
Legal pages, integration docs, and this site are part of the same story—shipping transparently so users and partners know what they are buying into.

Operating principles
- Ship in small loops; measure what matters.
- Privacy and security are product features, not footnotes.
- Docs and legal should be as readable as marketing.
- Prefer boring, reliable infrastructure over fragile hype.
