ZedLab is an independent software studio in Lusaka, Zambia. We build Android apps and are working on security tools that other developers can use in their own apps.
Apps in Zambia run on limited data, shared phones and a lot of trust. We design for that reality and treat security as part of the product, not an extra at the end.
Safe handling of user data, careful dependency choices and sensible permissions from the first commit.
Lightweight apps that respect small data bundles and mid-range Android phones.
Clear privacy policies, plain language and direct contact with the developer who wrote the code.
Two Android apps, built in-house at ZedLab and open for early access. Every screen, feature and download is on the apps page.

Property listings with seller verification · Early access
Apps handle more personal data every year, and the people who use them have to be able to trust them from day one. ZedLab is building a security toolkit that Zambian developers can add to their own apps, so they do not each have to solve the same hard problems alone.
A drop-in Android library with safe defaults for the parts that matter most.
Hands-on security work for Zambian teams shipping Android apps.
Reusable patterns for apps that handle accounts and personal records.
We are designing this in the open. If you build Android apps in Zambia and want to help shape what we make first, get in touch.
A small studio is able to be careful. These are the rules we hold ourselves to.
If an app does not need a piece of data, we do not ask for it.
Every library is code we are responsible for, so we choose and update them deliberately.
Our privacy policy is written for users, not lawyers.
When something breaks we fix it first and tell users what happened.
ZedLab was founded by Hamoonga Hikalungu, a self-taught Android developer based in Lusaka with a focus on application security. The studio exists to prove that dependable, well-built software can come from Zambia and be made for Zambians.
Because the studio is small, every message you send is read by the person who writes the code.
