Pembroke Labs is a California-based software company built on a simple belief: the tools you use every day should make your life easier — not harvest your data, track your habits, or sell your attention.
We build productivity and organizational apps designed to help real people do more with less friction. Every product we create is guided by one non-negotiable principle: your information stays yours. Always.
At Pembroke Labs, our mission is to build software that genuinely serves the people who use it. We focus on three things: helping you stay organized, saving you time through thoughtfully applied AI, and protecting your privacy by keeping your data stored locally on your device — never on our servers, never sold to third parties, never.
Privacy by design. We don't collect your data. We don't store it in the cloud unless you choose to. We don't sell it. Every app we build is designed from the ground up so that your information lives on your device and nowhere else.
AI that actually helps. We believe AI should reduce the cognitive load of everyday tasks — not add complexity. Our tools use AI to surface what matters, cut through noise, and help you move faster on the things that count.
Simplicity over bloat. We build focused tools that do their job well. No unnecessary features, no subscriptions designed to confuse, no dark patterns.
