ByteZoo Labs

Tools for the work you actually do

An independent studio in Hamburg. We build narrow software for messy real jobs — a smarter clipboard, kiln billing for ceramic studios, a Mac that stays awake until your build finishes, and the dev utilities still on the bench.

Small studio, specific tools

ByteZoo Labs is a small independent studio — not a product factory. We make software for developers, potters, and anyone whose work doesn't fit a generic SaaS box.

Some apps live in your menu bar. Some run in the browser for a whole workshop. All of them aim to remove a specific kind of daily annoyance — and then get out of the way.

  • Narrow scope

    One sharp problem per app. No platform dreams, no feature sprawl — just the job, handled well.

  • Local when it counts

    On-device AI and encryption for Mac tools. EU hosting for studio software. Your data stays yours.

  • Built from daily use

    Every product started as our own friction: copy-paste tedium, spreadsheet kiln bills, a Mac asleep mid-render.

From the studio

Available · macOS

ClipBear

A keyboard-driven clipboard history that understands what you copy — URLs, colors, JSON, images, and more — right from your menu bar.

WakeLemur

Keep your Mac awake — until the work is actually done.

Watch a process, not a clock

A tiny, clean menu-bar app that keeps your Mac awake — by the clock, or until a process you care about finishes its work. Point it at your build, training run, render, or AI session; it stays awake while the work is busy, then sleeps moments after it goes idle.

AI coding sessions Stay awake while Claude or Cursor works through a task; sleep when the agent stops.
