Trade applications
Surveys, job tracking, stock, inspections, timesheets. Built for a gloved hand and a wet screen.
Kotlin · Jetpack Compose
How it started
We tried buying, then we wrote our own
For years we paid subscriptions for jobsite tracking software. It was designed by people who had never tried to fill in a form on a ladder, in November, wearing gloves.
We ended up hiring a developer to write what our crews actually needed. That one job became a workshop, the workshop published an app, and other roofing firms started asking for the same thing.
What we refuse to ship
- An app that demands an account for nothingIf the tool runs on the device, it does not need to know who you are.
- Advertising networksThey bring tracking code we did not write and cannot properly inspect.
- Convenience permissionsWe declare what a feature actually uses, and strip the ones libraries add on their own.
What we take on
The work the workshop handles
Projects small enough to finish, rather than large enough to drift.
Offline by default
Local database, instant writes, a sync queue. The interface never blocks waiting on a network request.
Room · SQLitePlay Console release
Store listing, content rating, Data Safety form, signing and test tracks. Filled in by hand, line by line.
Signed AABRescue work
An app that got slow, heavy or rejected by a store. We audit it, write down what we find, then start cutting.
Audit · Report · RebuildInternal tools
Take-off calculators, quote generators, survey sheets. Often one page that replaces a shared spreadsheet.
Android · WebMaintenance
Target API updates, fixes, keeping up with store policy changes. An annual contract, not a subscription in disguise.
By project
Method
The maths first, the screen after
The part that calculates is written as an isolated module with its own tests, before a single screen exists. When a number looks wrong six months later, we already know where it is not.
It is the same logic as on a roof: you check the deck before laying the covering, because afterwards everything is hidden.
