About
Made in Kyoto.
Built to last.
YB Techworks is an independent software studio based in Kyoto, Japan — a city whose thousand-year tradition of craft informs everything we make.
We apply that spirit of monozukuri — the art of making things with care — to software. Each product is designed from first principles, refined until it is ready, and shipped without compromise.
Our tools serve a global audience. We price them honestly. We build them to solve specific problems precisely, without the feature sprawl that makes most software feel exhausting to use.
If a product carries the YB Techworks name, it has earned it.
