Software and applications
When the tool your organization needs does not exist, we develop it: custom software for Windows and macOS, mobile apps for Android and Apple iOS, research and knowledge tools, media systems and automation for the work that repeats.
Each is designed around the people who will use it, built in stages you can see and test, and handed over with its source, documentation and the accounts in your name.
The drawings on this page describe each capability in schematic form. They are not product screens.
Windows and macOS desktop software
Desktop applications for specialised work on Windows and macOS.
Some work needs a real desktop application: large local files, multiple displays, hardware, long sessions, or simply reliability without a browser in the way. We develop desktop software for Windows and macOS, from focused single-purpose tools to applications with many views and roles.
Installers, updates and support for both platforms are part of the delivery, with builds prepared for distribution on each.
Typically includes
- Single-purpose tools and full applications
- Multi-display and presentation setups
- Local files, media playback and hardware integration
- Installers and update mechanisms for both platforms
- Shared code with native behaviour where it matters
- Documentation and handover for your IT
Android and iOS applications
Mobile applications for both platforms, from field tools to audience apps.
We develop mobile applications for Android and iOS: tools for people working in the field, companion apps for a learning programme or an event, and applications for an audience you want to reach on their own devices.
The work covers design for small screens, offline behaviour, notifications, device features and the release preparation each platform requires.
Typically includes
- Android and iOS from a shared codebase, native where required
- Offline-first data and synchronisation
- Notifications, camera, location and device features
- Companion apps for platforms, programmes and events
- Release builds and store listing preparation
- Accessibility and device-size testing
Media, research and knowledge software
Systems that make what your organization holds findable, citable and usable.
Organizations accumulate media, documents and research faster than they can use them. We develop software that organises that material: media libraries with structured metadata, research tools that keep sources attached to findings, knowledge bases that stay current, and search that understands your own vocabulary.
AI models help with tagging, summarising and retrieval, always with the source in view so a reader can check every claim.
Typically includes
- Media libraries with metadata, versions and rights notes
- Source-aware research tools and citation tracking
- Structured knowledge bases and internal wikis
- Semantic search over your own material
- Readers and map-based tools for exploring a collection
- Import from the systems you already use
AI orchestration & automation
Multi-agent AI orchestration and workflow automation, designed around your organization’s work.
We specialize in multi-agent AI orchestration: coordinating agents with complementary roles, shared context and clear handovers. We design workflows that bring research, analysis, software development and review together, with people directing key decisions and accepting the results.
Document handling, reporting, content production, data preparation: we map the steps, decide where an AI model helps and where plain code is safer, and build automation with review points so people stay in control of the result.
Each automation is documented, observable and yours to run. Where it touches confidential data, the design follows your rules on where that data may go.
Typically includes
- Multi-agent workflow design and coordination
- Agent roles, shared context and review of outputs
- Process mapping and automation design
- Multi-step workflows with human review gates
- Document processing, extraction and reporting
- Integrations with your existing tools and files
- Monitoring, logs and failure handling
- Evaluation of output quality over time
Who commissions this
- Companies that need a tool that does not exist off the shelf
- Training and consulting practices that run live sessions
- Research, media and publishing teams
- Operations teams with repeatable document and data work
What you receive
Every engagement ends with a handover, not a dependency.
- Source code and build instructions
- Documentation for users and for whoever maintains it
- Design files and the content structure
- A record of decisions and how the system was built
- Accounts and infrastructure in your name
- Training for your team, when you want it
