Dev tools designed to give youtime back
Free, native macOS dev tools — an AWS client UI, a DynamoDB GUI, a Charles Proxy alternative, an SSH tunnel manager, a Mac power monitor, and a Mermaid IntelliJ plugin. Built in Rust, no Electron, no subscription.
AWS sessions, accounts, and EKS — without the terminal
CloudOrbit is the AWS session manager you wish Leapp was. Switch SSO accounts, auto-update kubeconfig, detect EKS clusters from your active session, and work behind Cloudflare Zero Trust without ever opening a config file. Native Rust, no Electron.
Tools that save time so you can focus on what matters
Each product solves a real pain. Less friction, more shipping.
The first five of many more.
New tools shipping soon — all free, all native Rust, built to replace the apps that charge you for the privilege of doing your job.
All tools are built with Rust + Tauri — native binaries, no Electron, no subscription. Free and open source.
Other tools
IDE plugins, scripts, and one-trick tools for the gaps the Orbit suite doesn't cover.
Built the way software should be built.
Every Orbit app is a native Rust binary with a Tauri UI. Here's what that means for you as a developer.
Native binary. Zero runtime.
No Node.js. No V8. No JVM. Rust compiles directly to machine code — the binary runs the same way the OS itself does. Nothing between your CPU and our logic.

Direct kernel APIs.
We call IOKit, SMC, libproc, and the macOS power subsystem directly — the same interfaces Apple uses internally. No wrappers, no polling hacks, no /proc file scraping.

)Memory safe. GC free.
Rust's ownership model eliminates data races and memory leaks at compile time — without a garbage collector. No GC pauses. No heap fragmentation. No undefined behavior.
// 8 MB at rest. // Electron charges 200 MB // for hello world.
Tauri v2, not Electron.
Tauri uses the OS's native WebView — WKWebView on macOS. One renderer, no bundled Chromium. The result: a 3–5 MB installer and a UI that feels native because it is.
// Electron: ~160 MB // Tauri: ~4 MB // Same React UI, 40× smaller.
Auditable by design.
Every repo is MIT-licensed and fully open source. Read the Rust backend, the TypeScript UI, the CI pipeline. If something looks wrong, open an issue or a PR.
github.com/slothlabsorg # All source. All the time.
One codebase. Every OS.
Tauri's Rust core runs on macOS, Linux, and Windows from the same source tree. macOS ships first because that's where we work. The rest follow without rewrites.

Keep SlothLabs alive
These tools run on coffee
and your support
Every app here is built on nights and weekends — no VC money, no ads, no tracking. The servers cost money. The time isn't free. A small contribution keeps the infrastructure running, the sloth caffeinated, and the roadmap alive. Without it, projects like this quietly go dark.
You've already saved more time than it costs. Help keep it going.
