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 →For businesses that build, fix or deliver
Project, job and invoice software you can run by talking to it. Join up and we'll configure it around the way your business actually works — custom workflows built right into the product.
Join ProjectNester →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.
