PatakoLabs is a small independent lab that builds focused products in the open. 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.
FoodTracker
FoodTracker is our first public consumer experiment: an iPhone app for nutrition logging that leans on photo-based AI to cut typing, plus strong support for macros, weight trends, fasting, and habits.
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.
Contact and support
Questions about the site, integrations, or policies: use the support link in the footer. For press or partnerships, lead with what you are building and how it helps users—we read everything, even if we cannot reply to all.
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.
