Products
Whole systems, from the database to the thing a person actually touches. Built to be handed over and maintained, not to be rebuilt in two years.
Ethiopia · software studio
We build systems.
Software for businesses and for individuals — the thing that runs the work, not a brochure about it. We are based in Ethiopia and we build for the conditions here: modest budgets, shared devices, and a connection that comes and goes.
What we build
Internal tools
The spreadsheet that has outgrown itself: rosters, payments, approvals, records. Multi-tenant where it needs to be, with the rules enforced by the database rather than by everyone remembering.
Works offline
Applications that install to a phone and keep working with no signal, then catch up when there is one. This is a requirement here, not a feature.
Paid for locally
Telebirr, CBE, bank transfer, cash — with receipts checked and recorded properly. Payment flows that match how money actually moves in Ethiopia.

Tizita Yearbook
A digital yearbook for Ethiopian schools and universities. A class builds it together — everyone gets a page, and everyone signs each other's pages by hand, on their own phone. It installs to the phone and opens with no connection at all.
Underneath it is a multi-tenant platform: a school's roster imported from a spreadsheet, portraits matched to names automatically, seats paid for by bank transfer with receipts verified by hand, and every school's data separated by the database itself rather than by application code.
