Apps That Stay
Custom business apps

Your workflow.
Built into a tool.

When spreadsheets, paper notes and disconnected apps no longer fit the work, we can design a focused business app around the way your company actually operates.

What we build

Small software for real operational work.

The best first version solves one connected workflow clearly. It can grow after the core process proves useful.

01

Customer and lead systems

Enquiries, contacts, notes, stages, follow-ups and simple customer history.

02

Bookings and job planning

Calendars, assignments, availability, service details and completion tracking.

03

Inventory and rentals

Assets, availability, reservations, returns, maintenance and utilization.

04

Quotes and documents

Pricing workflows, reusable line items, client-ready records and exports.

05

Profit and operations

Expenses, job profitability, capacity, dashboards and decision calculators.

06

Existing app extensions

Practical additions to an Apps That Stay product when the workflow is a close fit.

A controlled project

Clear scope before code.

Your initial brief starts the conversation. It is not an order, contract or promise of a delivery date.

  1. 01
    Describe the work

    Show the current process, the friction and what a good result would change.

  2. 02
    Confirm the first version

    We define included workflows, exclusions, delivery format, price and timing in writing.

  3. 03
    Build and review

    You test the workflow with realistic examples before final delivery.

  4. 04
    Keep the result

    For suitable projects, the finished local-first app is delivered as files you control.

Common questions

Before you describe the app.

Can you modify one of the existing paid apps?

Potentially. If the requested workflow is close to SweepSlate, GearRoster, EventStockroom or ShotRoster, describe the missing step in the brief. Feasibility and pricing depend on the change.

Will the app work offline?

Local-first browser apps are the preferred format when the workflow can operate safely without a server. Features such as shared live data, accounts, automated email or online payments require separate infrastructure.

How much does a custom app cost?

Price depends on the number of connected workflows, data structure, imports, documents, integrations and review rounds. The brief gives enough context to propose a smaller first version instead of guessing.

Do you accept every project?

No. A project must fit the studio's technical approach and available capacity. An enquiry creates no obligation for either side.
