Custom apps for the work you do every day.
Web tools built around the way you work. They open on your phone like an app, with nothing to install. From the office to the hillside, with your data safe on servers I run myself.
Everything you now do on paper and in spreadsheets, in one app.
Maps and GIS layers
Your plots and woodland on the map. I import GIS layers, the files maps are made of (Shapefile, KML or GeoJSON), and you check them on your phone out in the field.
Clocking in and out
Staff clock in and out on their phones, as the law requires, and the record is ready to show whenever you need it.
Registers and records
Livestock, plots, members or stock: tidy records with photos and dates, instead of scattered spreadsheets.
SMS alerts
Automatic texts to your customers: an appointment, an order ready to collect, a reminder. Short, and sent at just the right moment.
Bookings and social media
Dashboards to manage bookings, orders or jobs, and publishing tools that prepare and schedule your social media posts.
Your data, safe
They comply with the GDPR, the European data protection law, back up automatically and run on servers I manage, not on someone else’s platform.
For teams who work on the street, in the classroom or out on the hills.
Music and culture
- Schools that manage students, groups and waiting lists in one place.
- Production companies that organise recordings, studio bookings and releases.
- Artists who prepare and schedule their social media from a single dashboard.
- A private list of every message from your contact forms, searchable and exportable.
Small businesses and rural
- Forestry firms that work with plot maps right there in the woods.
- Community-owned woodland that keep their livestock register and records.
- Shops that text their customers without doing it by hand.
- Bars, workshops and small firms with bookings, orders or clocking in from the phone.
Your woodland, in your pocket.
A made-up example: the plot map with its layers, and the record for the plot you’re standing on, with the photo and note you’ve just added.

What people usually ask me about apps.
-
What is a custom web app?
It’s software built just for your business that you use in the browser on your phone or computer, with nothing to install from an app store. You can add it to your home screen and it looks like any other app. Because it lives on the web, every improvement reaches everyone at once.
-
Can I use my QGIS maps in the app?
Yes. The app imports layers in Shapefile, KML or GeoJSON, the formats QGIS and most mapping software export, and shows them on the map alongside your own data.
-
Where is the data stored and who can see it?
Your data lives on servers I run myself, not on third-party platforms. Everyone logs in with their own account and only sees what they need to, backups are automatic and the app complies with the GDPR.
-
How do we start building my app?
First I listen: what you do and what’s eating up your time. I suggest the smallest thing that solves the problem and we build it in stages, so you see results early on.
-
How much does a custom app cost?
Every app is quoted individually. First I listen, then I suggest the smallest thing that solves your problem, and we build it in stages. Once it’s up and running, hosting and care come in a monthly package from €35 excl. VAT.
Care
Your app, alive and secure. Hosting on my own server, updates, tested backups, monitoring for outages and break-in attempts, domain and certificate kept up to date, and half an hour a month for small changes. Building the app is quoted separately.
Shall we talk?
Tell me which task eats up most of your week. Often a small tool is all it takes to get it off your plate.
