In Malaysia, one person builds tools that never upload, a word search for two, a screenshot that never leaves the tab, and a homelab under the desk.

Nhako
Nera + Hakim Corporation. Websites, web systems and mobile apps for you, and our own things that run on your device. Made in Malaysia.
Small things, made with care
for your own device.
Nhako is short for Nera + Hakim Corporation, and you say it nako: the h is silent. Every project here is built and run by one person.

kimzam is the hand
behind Nhako
kimzam, or kimzam30 on GitHub. I am a developer in Malaysia, building structured product systems in TypeScript, Next.js and Supabase, on top of Docker, Linux and self-hosted infrastructure.
Nhako is where my own things live. Most of them share one idea: the work should happen on hardware you already own, not on somebody else's server.
- Your device does the workNhako Tools, NhakoCapture and Project Nera never send your files anywhere.
- Your own machinesNhako Bot, the homelabs and the remote IDE run at home, not in someone's cloud.
- Made for twoNhakoSearch and the game before it were built to be played together.
