About the lab

Ideas worth exploring.

NekoMori Labs is an independent digital lab exploring networking, privacy, and automation.

Our approach

Curiosity with a purpose.

We explore how technology works, identify opportunities to make it simpler, and experiment with practical solutions. The work begins with a question and develops through research, iteration, and careful testing.

Our illustrated cats are the lab’s mascots: a reminder to stay curious, creative, and open to unexpected discoveries.

All hypotheses are subject to further inspection. Especially the ones left near a cat.

Curiosity, carefully observed.
How we work

Explore. Build. Refine.

01 / RESEARCH

Ask better questions

Understand the problem, examine available approaches, and define what matters.

02 / EXPERIMENT

Build thoughtfully

Turn ideas into experiments and focus on practical, understandable solutions.

03 / IMPROVE

Keep refining

Test assumptions, learn from results, and make considered improvements.

Research areas

Questions we explore.

01 / Networking

Understanding the path

We look at how connections are established, how traffic is routed, and how configuration choices affect reliability. Clear documentation and practical testing help turn complicated systems into understandable ones.

02 / Privacy

Informed choices

Privacy begins with understanding what a tool does and which information it handles. We explore configuration choices, their trade-offs, and the limits of the protections they provide.

03 / Automation

Making routine reliable

From repeatable configurations to clear operational checks, we explore ways to reduce manual work while keeping systems understandable, observable, and recoverable.
