A small studio in Cape Town, making the apps we wanted to use.

Howzit Labs was started by Eben Smit. Every app began as something we wanted for ourselves: music that fits what we're doing, a straight answer on what our Claude Code chats cost, a better way to choose the next PS5 game, and our photos on every screen in the house.

They share one look and one set of rules: the answer comes first, numbers are honest (an estimate says it's an estimate), and every app tells you exactly what it does on your computer: what it reads, what it writes and what it costs.

The Mac apps keep your data on your Mac. None of them shows ads or tracks you, and neither does this site.
