Custom business apps

Sometimes the right answer isn’t another tool. It’s one simple app, built around how your business actually works, that replaces the paper, the spreadsheets and the three subscriptions that almost do the job. You own it, so there are no per-seat fees.

Tech

One app that fits your business, instead of a stack of tools that almost do.

This is for you if…

  • Your team works off paper forms, clipboards or binders
  • You pay for several tools that each do part of the job
  • Your process is unusual and no off-the-shelf tool fits
  • You want to own your system, not rent it per seat

What changes for you

Go paperless

Forms, checklists and sign-offs on a phone or tablet, with photos and signatures.

Cut subscriptions

Replace overlapping tools with one app you own. No per-seat pricing.

One place for everything

Customers, jobs, quotes and files together, instead of spread across spreadsheets.

Built to grow

Start small, add what you need later, without starting over.

What you get

Custom business app
From $5,000

Scoped from your Audit, built in small pieces you can test as we go.

  • Screens designed around how your team works
  • Works on phone, tablet and desktop
  • Your data moved in from spreadsheets or old tools
  • Accounts and permissions for your team
  • Training and documentation
  • Your own copy, on your own accounts

Care from $300/mo keeps it hosted, updated and improving. Sold only when an Audit shows a real need.

Prices in USD. Every build gets a fixed quote after the Audit. You pay phone, AI and payment fees directly, on your own accounts.

How it works

  1. 01

    Audit

    We find out whether an app is really the answer, and what it must do first.

  2. 02

    Small first version

    We build the one screen that saves the most time first, so you can use it early.

  3. 03

    Test with your team

    Real people using it on real work, then we adjust.

  4. 04

    Grow it

    Add the next piece only when the first one is paying back.

What we need from you

  • Examples of the paper forms, spreadsheets or tools you use now
  • A person on your team to try early versions
  • Time for a short review each week during the build

What we won’t do

  • Build a giant system before you've used the first piece
  • Hold your code or data hostage
  • Charge per user
Runs on

Modern web technology (Next.js on Cloudflare) on your own accounts, with tests. You get the code.

Questions people ask

Isn't custom software expensive to maintain?

It can be when it's built badly. We build small, tested pieces on simple hosting, and Care keeps it updated for a fixed monthly fee.

How long does it take?

A first useful version usually takes a few weeks. Bigger apps are delivered in pieces you can use along the way.

What happens if we stop working together?

You keep the app, the code and the data. Any developer can pick it up.
