About Lofink Labs
We build open tech that people feel proud to repair.
Lofink Labs is a hands-on studio where hardware and software stay friendly, fixable, and honest. If a product is hard to open, it is not finished.
From Tiny Hudz to custom builds, we ship with schematics, firmware, and clear notes so the next person knows exactly what to do.
The deeper story
We make tech that stays in your hands, not behind a warranty wall.
Lofink Labs started as a simple promise: every project should be easy to understand, easy to repair, and easy to improve. That mindset grew into a lab that shares the full build process so curious people can follow along.
Our wins are practical. Tiny Hudz brings live systems data to your desk. Our tools and guides help people fix their own gear. Every release leaves breadcrumbs for the next builder.

What we actually do
- Design repair-ready hardware and enclosures
- Ship open documentation with every release
- Prototype quickly, then refine in public
- Support builders with clear, honest answers
How we work
We move fast, document everything, and keep it human.
Each build is a collaboration between the lab, the community, and the people who will actually use it.
-
01
Listen first
We start with real needs, not feature lists, and keep asking why.
-
02
Prototype in the open
Rough builds ship early so feedback shapes the final design.
-
03
Make repair the default
Every wire, screw, and line of code is there on purpose.
-
04
Share the playbook
Documentation is part of the product, not an afterthought.
Founder
Joshua Lofink keeps the lab hands-on and community-first.
Joshua builds, documents, and shares every step so others can learn faster. His focus is open-source hardware, local-first tools, and repairable design that makes people feel capable.
“If you can fix it, you can trust it.”
