IoTone, Inc. publishes open-source software and hardware. Forty-plus repositories, all linked from this site, all maintained on github.com/IoTone. The work runs along a few threads: Snap Spectacles libraries that backfill the web APIs Lens Studio omits, IoT runtimes that span Matter / Zigbee / Thread without locking developers into a single vendor, open-hardware references for wearable cameras and cyberdecks, and tooling for the platforms our team actually uses.
We work where platforms fail — bridging APIs, polyfilling missing primitives, releasing reference hardware others can fork.
Started in Silicon Valley in 2014; today headquartered in PDX (Portland, OR) with a sister entity, IoTone Japan, operating from Fukuoka. Everything you see here is open source. Every project page links to its repo.
