Function
Every screen and control has to earn its place. If it doesn’t make the program more useful or clearer, it goes.
- One job per screen
- Plain words, no jargon
- Fewer steps to done
Software that
does its job well.
Sruc Labs is a small studio building useful programs. We decide what a program should do and how it should read at the same time. Then we build it carefully, so it stays plain to use and steady under pressure.

What a thing does
and how it reads, decided together.

Design
Type, spacing and order do the work. The look is quiet so the content can be read at a glance.
- Hierarchy before decoration
- Readable at arm’s length
- Calm on low-end phones
/ 03
Engineering
Correct, quick, and careful with resources. Privacy and safety are set up at the start, not patched in later.
- Native builds, small size
- No needless data collection
- Tested on real devices

02Work
First out
of the studio: Magnet Search.
One program, done properly. A search utility for Android that looks in several public sources at once. It keeps your business on your phone.
Shipped · v1 Magnet Search / Android
One search,
several sources.
Type once, check open indexes and public archives together. Open a result straight in your torrent app, or save it for later. No account, no search log on a server.
- Multi-source — one query, several indexes, de-duplicated
- On-device — bookmarks and history stay on the phone
- Straight handoff — magnet opens in the app you already use
The studio is wider than any one release. Search is where we started; it isn’t the whole brief.
03The name
Sruc स्रुच्
A sruc is the wooden ladle used to carry an offering to the fire. A simple tool with one exact task. We took the name as a working standard: carry the idea without spilling it. Give it form. Set it down where it is useful.
- noun — Sanskrit
- / sruc / — ladle; an instrument for carrying and placing.
- studio use
- Gather → hold → release. From sketch to software people can rely on.
