Three kinds of safety
Your data, your money, your machine.
Three promises that all trace back to one idea — the 鎬: your own backbone, the part that doesn't break when you need it most.
01 Top priority
Your data never leaves
What can run on your machine, does — all of it. There are no accounts to create, and no servers of ours holding your files, because we don't run any. Privacy here isn't a setting you switch on. It's the architecture.
Nothing on our servers
02
Your own backbone
Your work shouldn't be hostage to someone else's uptime, someone else's policy change, or someone else's shutdown notice. A tool you own, on hardware you own, answers to no one but you. That is the 鎬 — the ridge that keeps a blade from breaking.
Answers only to you
03
Buy once. It's yours.
No subscription. No metered API bill ticking in the background. You pay a single time, and the tool is yours to keep — working the same years from now as the day you bought it. In an age of subscription fatigue, owning your tools is quiet defiance.
No subscription, everProducts
In the workshop.
Several tools are being sharpened. Nothing here is on sale yet — each one is revealed on this page the day it actually ships, one at a time, never before.

Philosophy
Why everything stays in your hands.
A tool exists to protect the person using it.
A Xinogi tool wants to be the 鎬 of your day —
not the flashy edge, but the backbone that will not break.
Nothing held hostage. No one holding you.
Kept in your hands.
Xinogi is a small workshop betting on a single idea: the tools you depend on should live in your hands, not on someone else's servers. Small on purpose — small enough that every promise on this page stays checkable.
The name comes from the 鎬 (shinogi) — the ridge line running down a Japanese blade, its thickest part, the backbone that keeps it from snapping. Not the flashy edge; the quiet structure holding everything together. That's what a good tool should be in your day: not spectacle, but the strength that doesn't fail when you reach for it.
We don't pretend to be bigger than we are. No invented numbers, no imaginary team — a small workshop, honest about its size, sharpening a few tools until they're worth owning. 鎬を削る.
What we commit to
Local-first
The heavy work runs on your device — not on our servers, because there are none of ours to run to.
Buy once
No subscription and no metered bills. You pay a single time and keep the tool for good.
Private by architecture
No accounts to create, nothing of yours parked with us. Privacy is the design, not a toggle.
Honest
No inflated download counts, no fake team. If it's on this page, you can verify it.
Trilingual
Product interfaces — and this page itself — ship in English, Japanese and Chinese.
FAQ
Good questions.
Who is Xinogi?
A small, independent workshop in Japan. Deliberately small — that's what keeps the tools sharp and every claim on this page verifiable. We don't invent a team we don't have.
Why local-first?
Because trust is the product. Your work shouldn't be hostage to someone else's server. What can run on your machine does — no accounts, and no servers of ours holding your data.
Is anything sent to the cloud?
Each tool spells out exactly what runs where, in plain words, on its own page at launch. The rule never changes: the heavy work runs on your device, and no servers of ours hold your data.
Subscription, or buy once?
Buy once. No subscription, no metered API bills. You pay a single time and the tool is yours to keep. Each tool's price is set and shown plainly on its own page the day it ships — never before.
What if Xinogi disappears one day?
Because the tools run on your machine — not our servers — they keep working regardless. Nothing here depends on us staying online. That independence is the whole point.
