Custom apps for the work no off-the-shelf tool quite fits.
Web apps, mobile apps, internal tools, AI-powered features. We design, build, deploy, and maintain custom applications for small businesses that have outgrown the spreadsheet — or the SaaS subscription that almost works.
What this typically replaces
Most of the apps we build replace one of two things: a brittle stack of spreadsheets, Zapier zaps, and Slack messages that's holding a real workflow together with tape — or a $300/month SaaS that does 60% of what the business actually needs and charges per seat for the privilege. Custom software is reasonable when the workflow is core to how you make money.
- A scheduling or dispatch tool that everyone in the field hates using
- An inventory system that lives in three different Google Sheets
- A "platform" you pay for monthly but only use 20% of
- An internal dashboard somebody built five years ago that nobody owns
- A customer-facing tool you've sketched out twelve times but never built
What we build
Internal tools and dashboards
Custom admin panels, scheduling tools, inventory trackers, dispatch boards — software your team uses every day, built specifically for how your business runs. Replaces brittle spreadsheets and patchwork SaaS.
Customer-facing web applications
Booking portals, member areas, calculators, configurators, account dashboards. Anything where your customers need to log in and do something. Hosted on your domain, designed to match your brand.
Native mobile apps
iOS and Android apps that ship to the App Store and Google Play. We design, build, submit, and maintain. Two of our own apps (TinkerTaps and Trivd) are already live, so we know the App Store dance.
AI-powered features
Chat assistants trained on your data, document analysis, smart automations, predictive recommendations. We embed AI where it actually earns its keep — and skip it where it doesn't.
Integrations with the tools you already use
Stripe, QuickBooks, Twilio, Mailchimp, Shopify, Calendly, Google Workspace, Microsoft 365 — your app talks to the systems already running your business. No silos.
Hosting, deployment, and ongoing maintenance
We deploy to modern infrastructure (Cloudflare, Vercel, AWS depending on the app), set up monitoring and backups, and stay on retainer for ongoing changes. You're not chasing a developer when something breaks.
What it actually looks like
We start with a discovery call to understand the workflow and the budget. If it's a fit, you get a written scope and price within two days. We build in tight iterations — you see something working within two weeks — and ship the first usable version within four to eight weeks for most projects. After launch, we stay on call for changes, fixes, and the inevitable "can it also do this?" requests.
What it costs
Smaller internal tools and focused web apps start at $2,500 – $7,500 as one-off builds. Full-featured customer-facing apps or native mobile apps typically range from $10,000 to $40,000+ depending on scope, plus monthly maintenance. See pricing for one-off builds →
For founders building an app idea from scratch, our partnership program offers a revenue-share model with no upfront fees — you build with us, we share in the upside.

Book the callCommon questions
Do I own the code?
Yes. All source code, designs, and assets are yours at the end of the engagement. We hand over the GitHub repository, deployment access, and full documentation. If you ever decide to bring development in-house or work with another team, the handoff is clean.
What stack do you build on?
Web apps: TypeScript, React/Next.js, Tailwind, Supabase or Postgres, Cloudflare Workers for backend. Mobile apps: SwiftUI for iOS, Kotlin or React Native for Android depending on the project. We pick the stack for the job, not the other way around.
How long until launch?
4-8 weeks for most focused web apps and internal tools. Native mobile apps with App Store submission typically run 8-16 weeks. We give a firm timeline in the proposal — and we hit it.
What happens after launch?
You can take it from there, keep us on a monthly maintenance retainer, or scope the next phase of features. Most clients keep us on retainer for the first 6 months at minimum so we can fix the things real users find that QA didn't.
What if I have an idea but no business yet?
That's the partnership program. We design, build, launch, and support your app under a revenue-share arrangement — no upfront fees, we share in the upside. See partner.courtrightco.com.
Can you take over a project that's already started?
Yes, with caveats. We'll do a code review first to see how much rework is needed. Sometimes it's faster (and cheaper) to start fresh than to inherit somebody else's framework choices. We'll tell you straight.
