The collection

Small-business software,
cut to the work.

Each product gets its own name, identity and workflow. Apps That Stay is the maker, not a template that forces every business into the same shape.

Research queue

Next problems worth solving

These are product areas, not final product names. Each will be named and designed independently when development starts.

01

Rental operations

Pricing, enquiries, inventory, agreements, income and expenses for small hire businesses.

02
Planned

Bookings, packages, vendors, run sheets, schedules and customer payments.

How it works

A complete app.
One ordinary file.

If you can open a web page, you can use an Apps That Stay product.

01

Download

After purchase, save the HTML file somewhere you can find it.

02

Open

Double-click the file. It opens in your regular browser with no installation.

03

Get to work

Your records are stored locally. Export a backup whenever you choose.

Works with modern browsers on
WindowsmacOSChromebookLinux
Software with boundaries

Your business records are not our business.

Most software asks you to upload everything, create an account and keep paying to reach your own records. Our local-first apps take a different route.

Read the common questions

No account to maintain

There is no password, profile or online dashboard between you and your work.

No tracking inside the app

Your client lists, revenue and notes are not sent to our servers.

Backups you control

Export your data as a backup file and store copies wherever you trust.

No expiry date

The version you buy does not stop because a subscription ended.

A simpler model

Software you keep,
not software you rent.

FAQ

Before you download.

Single-file software is simple, but it works differently from a cloud subscription.

Ask another question →

Your browser stores working data locally on the device and browser profile you use. The app does not send those records to Apps That Stay.
