Services
We build software for clients.
BlueThroat Studio designs and builds software for businesses as a service. Casement, Dealer Garage and Clockgauge were made that way, for clients, and are now available to everyone.
What we build
Tools people use every day.
Most of our work is software that has to be right: records that must be accurate, paperwork that must match, hours that must add up.
Desktop apps
Mac and Windows apps that run on the client's own computer, keep working without a connection and keep data on the client's own disk.
Business tools
Inventory, customers, deals and paperwork. Time tracking, projects and payroll balances. The back office a business actually runs on.
Licensing and payments
One-time purchases and renewals, licences tied to an email address, checkout through Razorpay, and the admin side to see who bought what.
Secure by design
Encrypted connections between computers, encryption of stored files and secrets, accounts with roles, and backups protected by a password.
Connected where it helps
Email, listing sites, browser extensions and remote access for staff who work from home, built so the app does not depend on them to function.
Installers and updates
Signed, installable apps with update checks, and the website and support pages that go with them.
How a project works
Four steps, no surprises.
Talk
You tell us the problem and who will use the software. We tell you plainly whether we are the right people to build it.
Scope
We write down what it will do and what it will not, with a price and a timeline you can plan around.
Build
You see working software early and often, and your people try it while it is still easy to change.
Hand over
We install it, train the people who use it and stay on for fixes. Ownership and any wider use of the software are agreed up front.
Work we have done
Built as a service. Now yours to use.
These three apps began as work for clients. Each is now available on its own page.
CasementWindow layouts, hover-to-focus and a separate Dock icon for every Chrome profile, for people who live in their browser.
Dealership software
Dealer GarageInventory, leads, deals and dealer paperwork for independent used-car lots in the US and Canada, kept on the dealership's own computer.
Time tracking
ClockgaugeEmployee and freelancer time tracking with consented screenshots, projects, budgets and payroll balances, hosted on the client's own computer.
More work will appear here as clients agree to share it.
