tools for the work
nobody else wants
to maintain.
KAKEL Tech builds desktop apps, mobile companions, APIs, and autonomous agent platforms for the unglamorous infrastructure work — carrier-orphan unlocks, stolen-device recovery, security audits, blacklist intelligence, code shipped on demand.
/** * the world has enough optimistic startup tooling. * we build instruments for the technicians, * security teams, and engineering organizations *actually doing the unglamorous work — and we're * honest about what the instruments can and cannot do. */

// 6 modules
phonetoolkit
Carrier-orphan SIM unlock, iPhone DFU recovery, Activation-Lock detection, evidence-bundle export. macOS signed and shipping today; Windows and Linux builds in public beta.
kmsesplatform
Multi-agent orchestration. Ships a default 5-person engineering crew today. Same platform hosts custom crews — security audit, incident response, compliance, content ops — anything that fits in a coordinated task graph.
companionbeta
Android APK for post-sale provenance: on-device sign-on intake, owner attestation, stolen-device reporting. Today ships through KAKEL Store; kakel.io integration in progress.
risk-apiearly access
IMEI and Apple-serial intelligence backed by KAKEL's curated dataset of stolen, locked, and orphaned devices. Free /tools/imei-check is live; signed B2B endpoint at /v1/lookup is bearer-token authed and live.
privacyguardwaitlist
Permission audits, tracker visibility, secure-by-default storage. A privacy hygiene companion that explains what apps actually do — without selling the data it sees.
orphan-trackerearly access
Upload your carrier unlock xlsx, see which devices came back UNLOCK_NOT_SENT, manage the queue across techs. MVP live for KAKEL Tech account holders.
cross-platform
on principle.
not on apology.
The shop floor uses mixed kit — Mac at the bench, Windows at the front desk, Ubuntu in the back rack, Android in the field. Our instruments run on all of it. Where a binary isn't built yet, we label it honestly instead of inventing a feature flag.
// We bought 800 returned phones from a carrier and 41 came back UNLOCK_NOT_SENT. What now?
// Before we restock or pay out, we need to know which IMEIs are stolen or locked. Show us.
// We are shipping across four verticals with five engineers. We need parallel hands.
