Life, slightly less annoying
We build software that takes something annoying out of someone’s day — from small browser tools that fix one specific irritation, to apps for the things you do away from a desk, to the full systems a business runs on.
What we make
Three kinds of thing, depending on where the annoyance lives.
Extensions
Small tools that live in your browser and show up right where the work already happens — YouTube, Gmail, the page you’re on.
Apps
Whole apps of their own, on your phone or your computer, each built for one job: from study tools to the paperwork of a trade.
Operating Systems
The software we built to run our own businesses day to day, packaged so other businesses can run on it too.
Featured
What’s out now, and what’s nearly there.
DogEar
LiveTurns any YouTube video into structured notes, with timestamps that jump you straight back to the moment.
Unspoken
In testingTells you what an email is really asking, then writes the reply — checking with you first on anything it can’t know.
Pilgrim
In testingEvery Catholic church in the Philippines on one map. Check in where you’ve been, keep the photos, collect the province badges.
About CDT Labs
CDT Labs is a Philippine-based software company, run by Filipinos. We start with the problems we see around us — and a lot of them turn out to be problems people have everywhere.
Not everything we make is the same size. Our extensions are small on purpose: one job each, quick to install, easy to forget once they’re working. Our apps go further. Our operating systems are full platforms that businesses run on every day. What they share is where they start — with something specific that kept getting in someone’s way.
Start from a real annoyance
Every product begins with one specific problem somebody actually has, not a list of features we’d like to build.
Sized to the job
A browser tool should stay small. The system a business runs on shouldn’t. We build each one as big as its problem, and no bigger.
Try before you decide
Our tools and apps have a real free tier, not a three-day trial. Run out and we’ll ask; until then we won’t.
