A software workshop in Utsunomiya, Tochigi, Japan.
We listen for "the thing we do by hand every time" and turn it into a Windows tool.

Services

One niche, deeply understood.

Building and selling our own software

We build Windows desktop tools that cut deep into one specific business hassle, and sell them directly. Rather than a flashy feature list, we care about one thing working reliably.

Contract development

We also take on contract work around business tools and automation. As a small, nimble one-person workshop, we handle everything from requirements to ongoing operation.

Products

Our first product is a Windows tool that supports checking drawings. A free edition is available.

KASANEST overlaying an old and new drawing. Unchanged lines are blue, removed lines are red, and added lines are green. Two misaligned drawings overlaid, with all the lines doubled up in red and green. The alignment screen, with the chosen reference lines on the old and new drawings highlighted in orange and green. After alignment is applied, most of the drawing is blue, with only the actual changes left in red and green.
WINDOWS

KASANEST — a tool for comparing old and new drawing PDFs

Overlay old and new drawings. Only the lines that changed get colored. Works with large-format drawing PDFs, up to A0 size and 10 m long, on Windows. It can also export the comparison result as a PDF (a paid-edition feature). All processing happens entirely on your PC — drawing data is never sent anywhere.

Viewing, comparing, and aligning drawings are free forever, with no time limit. It's a single executable file — no installation required.

About HariNest

HariNest combines "hari" (a hedgehog's needle) with "nest" — a workshop, like a hedgehog's den. From a small workshop like that, we send out tools that don't miss the details.

"The fox knows many things, but the hedgehog knows one big thing" — as the old Greek fable goes, HariNest chooses to deeply understand and solve one business problem rather than take on many at once.

When reporting a problem, it helps to include the version of Windows you're using.
