Talarurus

Independent software studio

Security tools.
Local-first software.

Talarurus builds software for developers, starting with Hammerhead, a local-first repository auditing CLI in developer preview.

Mission

Talarurus builds software that is clear,
useful, and easy to trust.

Areas of work

Security, development,
and local control.

Three areas guide the studio’s work, starting with repository security.

Security

Tools that help you inspect software and make more informed decisions.

Developer tools

Focused utilities with clear output that fits into existing workflows.

Local-first software

Software designed to keep work close to your own machine and data.

How the studio builds

Focused tools.
Defined boundaries.

Talarurus develops software around specific tasks, with explicit limits on what each tool can do.

Hammerhead’s documentation covers its supported checks, reporting formats, and limitations. Its 0.2.0-dev preview is available to build from pinned source.
