Software for places the internet forgets.
We're a registered independent studio building offline-first tools for people working in the world's hardest conditions -- patchy power, entry-level phones, no signal. One workflow at a time, done properly.
Built from the constraint, not the demo.
Most software is designed for a fast connection, a new phone, and a quiet office. We design for the opposite -- because that's where the work that matters most actually happens.
Start from the hardest case
Every product begins with the worst environment it needs to survive -- dead battery by afternoon, a five-year-old Android, zero bars. If it holds up there, it holds up anywhere.
No network, no problem
No loading spinners waiting on a signal that isn't coming. Everything we ship works completely offline, from first launch to final export.
Narrow scope, real depth
Rather than a broad feature list, we find the one task quietly costing people hours every week, and remove every bit of friction from it.
Koticha, a teacher's companion.
● live on Google PlayBuilt for and with primary school teachers in Malawi -- replacing hours of manual score tallying with something that fits in one hand and works with zero training.
- Score entry by roll number
- Real-time ranking with tie handling
- Excel & PDF export
- Runs on 2GB Android 8.0+
- No account, no login
Built by Chisomo Psyelera. PsyByte Labs is a registered business -- able to invoice, contract, and take on paid pilots.
