We build software
that scales with the
people who use it.
A small studio engineering custom web & mobile platforms for businesses that outgrew the off-the-shelf stack. Twelve years of TypeScript, React, and the boring infrastructure that keeps it up at year five.
Custom software, drawn at human scale.
Four things, done obsessively.
Every engagement is custom, but the work tends to land in one of these four shapes. We're hired for one — and usually end up doing two before we ship.
Custom web applications.
Multi-tenant platforms, dashboards, customer portals — the kind of software that becomes the business, not a side tool around it. Type-safe end to end, fast at year five.
Native iOS & Android from one codebase.
React Native delivered to both App Stores. Push notifications, offline-first sync, deep linking, and we handle the review dance. Same engineers writing your web, writing your app.
Operations & internal tooling.
The unsexy software that quietly runs the business. Schedulers, billing flows, admin consoles, audit logs, exports. Built right the first time so it doesn't bite back in year three.
Database & architecture.
Schemas that survive scale. Migration strategy. Performance audits. The foundation work that keeps software fast at year five and useful at year ten.
From spreadsheets to a statewide platform.
One client, eight seasons, three platforms. Next Level Sports came to us managing youth flag football with a tangle of spreadsheets. We built them the software.
A youth-sports platform that handles thousands of kids without thousands of headaches.
How we built an end-to-end youth sports management platform handling registration, scheduling, team management, and real-time communications for thousands of players across California.
The phones don't ring on Saturday morning anymore. That was the goal.
Three phases, no surprises.
Most engagements run six to fourteen weeks. We work in the open — shared Figma, shared Linear, weekly demos — and you can press pause at any phase if it isn't working.
Map the terrain.
One to two weeks. We sit with you, your team, and your existing tools. We come back with a real plan: scope, stack, schedule, and a price that won't surprise you.
Build in the open.
Two-week sprints. Working software at the end of every one. Weekly demos so you see the thing growing — not just slides about it. Pause or change course any time.
Ship and tend.
We ship it, hand over the keys, and stick around — most clients keep us on retainer to keep things sharp, fix what bends, and build what comes next.
A small shop, on purpose.
In the foothills of north central Pennsylvania, where the rent is honest and the air is clear. The mountains keep our overhead low and our heads clearer — which is to say, our rates are sensible and our code is written with care.
No account managers. No padded teams. We pick our clients carefully so we can pay attention to each one. When you hire Appalachia Digital, you talk to the person writing the code. Forever.
"Appalachia Digital took a tangle of spreadsheets and gave us a platform our coaches actually use. Eight seasons in, it still feels new."
