Service · Custom apps

Custom apps without the custom timeline.

Internal tools, client portals, and workflow apps wired to your real stack. Auth, roles, audit logs, and integrations included. Shipped in 1 to 3 weeks at a flat price.

Custom client portal with role-based dashboards, request flows, and audit timeline
How it ships

A real app, drawn in real code.

No no-code patchwork. Auth, roles, schema, UI, and integrations land as one production-grade codebase you own. The mockup on the right is the shape of what you get, minus the placeholder data.

Replace the spreadsheet, the Zap, and the half-broken SaaS.

Every growing team accumulates the same stack. A spreadsheet that nobody trusts, a Zap that breaks every second Tuesday, and a $400-per-month SaaS that does 60% of what you need. You hire someone to babysit it, and the workaround becomes the system.

We build the app that should have existed in the first place. One tool, shaped around how your team actually works. Auth, roles, audit logs, and the integrations you depend on, all wired into a real codebase you own.

No per-seat pricing, no proprietary runtime, no vendor that disappears in two years. You get the code, the infrastructure, and documentation good enough that your in-house team can extend it without us.

What's included

Everything you need in one engagement.

One flat fee, one team, one timeline. No add-ons, no upsells, no per-seat surprises.

Product scoping and screen map

We translate your workflow into a screen-by-screen flow, data model, and role matrix. You approve scope before a single line of code ships.

Auth, roles, and permissions

Email plus password, magic links, Google and Microsoft SSO. Role-based access with row-level security and audit logs on every write.

Custom data model

Postgres schema designed around your real entities. Migrations, indexes, and constraints managed in code, not clicked together in a dashboard.

Workflow and approval logic

Multi-step approvals, state machines, comments, mentions, and assignments. The kind of detail no off-the-shelf SaaS gets right for your team.

Third-party integrations

Stripe billing, HubSpot sync, Slack notifications, webhook endpoints, and any REST or GraphQL API your operation depends on.

Branded UI and design system

Your brand, your fonts, your dark mode. Built on accessible primitives so the app feels like a product, not an internal tool.

Production deployment

Deployed to Vercel, Cloudflare, or your own cloud. CI/CD, preview environments, observability, and error tracking wired in from day one.

Documentation and handoff

Every endpoint, table, and component documented in plain English so your in-house team can extend the app without us.

Use cases

Six apps we ship every month.

If your team is duct-taping any of these together, we can replace the workflow in under three weeks.

Internal admin console

One place for ops, support, and finance to manage customers, refunds, overrides, and exceptions. Replaces the spreadsheet plus three SaaS logins your team juggles today.

Client portal

A branded portal where customers submit requests, track status, approve work, and download deliverables. Cuts inbound email volume and gives clients self-serve clarity.

Approval workflow tool

Multi-step approvals for purchase orders, content, contracts, or expenses. State machines, role gates, and a full audit trail your finance team can defend.

Marketplace or directory

Two-sided platform with vendor onboarding, search, listings, payments, and reviews. Built once, owned forever, no per-seat fees as you scale.

Custom CRM or pipeline tool

A CRM shaped around how your team actually sells. Pipelines, properties, automations, and reports your reps will keep up to date because it fits their workflow.

Operations dispatch app

Field-ops or logistics console with assignments, routing, status updates, and mobile-friendly views. Replaces phone calls, SMS threads, and shared sheets.

Our process

From scope to production in one sprint.

No six-week discovery phase. We work in daily increments and you see real progress every 24 hours.

01

Scope call

30-minute working session. We map screens, roles, and integrations. You leave with a written scope, timeline, and flat price.

02

Design and model

Screen flows, data model, and clickable prototype by end of day three. You approve the shape before we commit code.

03

Build and review

Daily Loom updates, shared staging URL, async reviews. Iterate in hours, not sprints.

04

Ship and document

Production deploy, role rollout, documentation, and a 30-day handoff window so your team can extend it confidently.

FAQ

Questions teams ask before they hire us.

How fast can you ship a production-grade custom app?

Most internal tools and portals go live in 1 to 3 weeks. We scope on day one, ship a clickable build by end of week one, and harden for production in week two or three.

What kinds of apps do you build?

Internal admin panels, ops consoles, approval workflows, client portals, marketplaces, directories, two-sided platforms, CRMs, and bespoke SaaS products. Anything that replaces a spreadsheet plus three SaaS subscriptions.

Do we own the code?

Yes. Every app we ship is a real codebase in your GitHub, on your infrastructure, with no proprietary runtime. You can extend it in-house, hand it to another team, or fork it whenever you want.

How do you handle authentication, permissions, and audit logs?

Email plus password, magic links, Google and Microsoft SSO, and SAML for enterprise. Role-based access with row-level security enforced at the database layer. Every write is audit-logged out of the box.

Can it integrate with our existing stack?

Yes. Stripe, HubSpot, Salesforce, Slack, Linear, Zendesk, Postgres, BigQuery, Snowflake, and any REST or GraphQL API. We wire your app into the tools your team already runs on.

What does a custom app project cost?

Flat-fee engagements typically run between six and twenty thousand dollars depending on scope, integrations, and user roles. You get a written scope and fixed price before we start.
