We design our own software, build custom platforms for clients, and deliver council-ready development-application services — three things, done properly.
From SketchUp plugins to macOS apps and bespoke client platforms — all designed and built in-house.
Shadow analysis in SketchUp
Run accurate shadow and overshadowing studies directly inside SketchUp — the modelling companion to our shadow-report service.
View VisiShadow →Mesh generation for SketchUp
Generate smooth, boundary-conforming meshes from complex shapes, with stability controls and broken-boundary repair tools.
View MagicMesh →Fast, secure FTP for Mac
A native, TLS-secure dual-pane FTP/FTPS client for macOS — with saved connections, a built-in text editor and batch image processing.
Enquire / Download →Software manuals made simple
A streamlined, light-on-bloat tool for building software instruction manuals — run it alongside the very app you're documenting.
GPU prime search for Apple Silicon
An open-source Metal engine for prime discovery — Mersenne trial factoring, Fermat factor search and 30+ number-theory tools. Its Metal Modular Arithmetic API drives the Apple Silicon GPU, the CPU ALU (the Nester Carry Chain hardware mulmod) and NEON cores, with a three-gear scheduler that auto-shifts between them — plus a Conductor/Carriage architecture that networks the search across multiple Macs.
View on GitHub →Encrypted credential vault
Local-first, end-to-end encrypted storage for the logins you manage on behalf of clients — with TOTP, biometrics and secure sharing.
Join the Waitlist →Custom analytics dashboards
Bespoke reporting and analytics dashboards that turn a client's own data into clear, decision-ready views.
Discuss a Build →Race-day photography platform
An end-to-end platform for event photographers: import race data, AI-assisted tagging, image processing and secure delivery — built for GallopMedia.
Discuss a Build →Winery tank volume tracking
A SaaS tool for wineries that turns a dip-stick reading into an exact tank volume via per-tank calibration — with dashboards and subscriptions.
Discuss a Build →Two ways we help — council-ready planning reports, and bespoke software built end-to-end.
Council-ready planning documentation
Technically accurate, professionally formatted shadow impact reports that meet Tasmanian council requirements — including RFI responses — plus the visualisations that help planners and neighbours understand your project.
Bespoke software, built end-to-end
From idea to shipped product — web apps, macOS & iOS apps, SaaS platforms, APIs and integrations. We design, build, deploy and support, with AI woven in where it helps.
Questions about an app, a custom build, or a shadow report? We reply within one business day.
