Product development
End-to-end web applications built on modern, pragmatic stacks — TypeScript, Next.js, Node, and Postgres or MySQL. From a blank repo to a production deploy your team can actually maintain.
Independent studio · since 2014
Precision software,
Precision software,
engineered with care.
Crafty Codr is a small software studio in Kitchener, Ontario. We design, build, and ship production-grade web and mobile products for founders and engineering teams who care about craft — the details you feel, and the ones you don't see.
Core capabilities.
A focused set of services, deliberately narrow. We take on a small number of engagements each year so every project gets the senior engineering attention it deserves.
Native mobile apps
iOS and Android apps built with React Native and Expo, shipped through the App Store and Google Play. We handle the full lifecycle: architecture, build pipelines, submission, and post-launch iteration.
Engineering consulting
Architecture reviews, technical due diligence, and hands-on mentoring for growing teams. We help you choose the boring technology, pay down the right debt, and ship with confidence.
Work we make and ship.
Alongside client engagements, we invest in our own products. This is the one we're proudest of — built by the same team that would build yours.
Our Flagship Product
Famaloo
Family life, organized together · iOS, Android & Web
Famaloo is the shared home for everything your family juggles — groceries, meal planning, chores, calendars, and medications — so no one has to hold it all in their head. Anyone in the household can add to the list, plan the week, check off a chore, or log a dose, and the rest of the family sees it instantly. Built by Crafty Codr Inc. and available on iOS, Android, and the web.

How we work.
A decade of shipping software for other people has taught us what matters — and what doesn't. These are the principles we run every engagement on.
01 · Discover
Understand before building.
We start every project with a short, paid discovery. You leave with a written architecture, a realistic scope, and a decision on whether we're the right team — before you sign anything bigger.
02 · Build
Senior engineers, every week.
The person you meet is the person writing your code. Small teams, short feedback loops, and a working production deploy from the very first week of development.
03 · Hand off
Code your team can own.
Boring technology, readable code, and the kind of documentation we'd want inherited ourselves. When we're done, your team is equipped to keep shipping without us.
About Crafty Codr.
Founded in 2014 and headquartered in Kitchener, Ontario, Crafty Codr Inc. is an independent software studio owned and operated by engineers. We stay small on purpose: fewer projects, deeper attention, longer relationships. Past work spans healthtech, fintech, SaaS platforms, and consumer mobile — and our own flagship product, Famaloo, is live on both major mobile platforms.
Have a project in mind?
We take on a small number of new engagements each quarter. If you're building something that deserves senior engineering attention, we'd like to hear about it.
