Micro-apps · Integrations · Websites

Software forjust one company.

We build micro-apps: small, focused apps for a single company, a single department, or even a single person, on a monthly subscription. We also connect the systems you already use, like QuickBooks Online.

What we do

Small software that fits.

Three ways we help, and they work best together.

Where to start

Why a micro-app

Stop bending your business around software.

Big software is built for thousands of companies, so you get hundreds of features you don't use and still miss the one you need. The gap gets filled with spreadsheets, paper, and someone retyping data on Fridays.

A micro-app fills that gap on purpose: one job, done your way, for the people who do it. And because it's a subscription, it keeps changing as you do.

Good fits for a micro-app

  • The spreadsheet that runs a whole process
  • A paper form that gets typed in later
  • Data copied between two systems by hand
  • Reports someone builds from scratch every week
  • A step your main software just doesn't handle

How a micro-app compares

Off-the-shelf software, a one-time custom build, and a micro-app, side by side

How it works

From a conversation to an app you use every day.

  1. 01

    Tell us about the job

    What takes too long, who does it, and what software is involved. We'll tell you plainly whether a micro-app, an integration, or a website is the right fit.

  2. 02

    We quote it and build the first version

    You get the subscription price in writing before we start. Then we build the smallest version that does the job and put it in your hands.

  3. 03

    You use it, we keep it running

    We host it, back it up, keep it secure, and make changes as you learn what else it should do.

Common questions.

What is a micro-app?

A small, focused web app built for one company, one department, or even one person. It does one job the way you do it, instead of making you adapt to software built for everyone.

What does the subscription include?

Hosting, backups, security updates, fixes, and small changes as your needs shift. You get a working app and someone who keeps it working.

How much does it cost?

It depends on what the app needs to do and what it connects to. We quote the subscription in writing before any work starts.

Do you work with QuickBooks Online?

Yes. We have built QuickBooks Online integrations that create customers and invoices, record payments, and keep items in step with other systems.

Can an app really be for just one person?

Yes. An owner's morning dashboard or a tool that takes over one person's weekly copy-and-paste can save hours, and it doesn't need to be big to be worth it.

What would you hand off to an app?

Tell us about the job. We'll tell you what it would take.
