Custom app, API & SaaS development studioNot just an app.
The whole system

We design, build and run complete software systems: the iOS and Android app, the backend API, the platform underneath, the admin panel your team works in, and the web app your customers use. One team, accountable for all of it.

What We Build

Every layer of a product, designed to work together. Take the whole system, or just the piece you are missing.

Mobile App

iOS and Android apps built with Flutter or Kotlin Multiplatform, offline-first where it matters, released and kept up to date on the App Store and Google Play.

Web App

Customer-facing web apps and PWAs in React and TypeScript: fast, accessible, search-friendly, and installable from the browser when a native app is not needed.

Admin Panel

The back office your team actually works in: users and roles, permissions, audit logs, reporting, support tools and billing views, built on the same API as the product.

Backend & API

Kotlin and Ktor or Node.js services on PostgreSQL: authentication, subscriptions and billing, webhooks, background jobs and a documented API that every client, from app to admin, shares.

Platform & Infrastructure

Docker-based deployments with CI/CD, monitoring, backups and security headers, self-hosted or in the cloud. The boring parts done properly, so the product stays up.

AI & MCP Integrations

MCP servers with OAuth so Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor can work with your product safely, plus in-app AI features that propose changes and ask before they act.

About BlanketByte

A small software studio that builds complete systems, and runs its own

BlanketByte is a software studio based in Tbilisi, Georgia, working with clients worldwide. We build complete systems, and we run our own: Piccola, Gancio, Poofbox and SyncStock are live products with real users, real billing, store releases and support. That is the same engineering, and the same care for what happens after launch, that we bring to client work.

How We Work

One Accountable Team

App, API, admin and platform are designed together and owned together, so nothing falls between vendors.

Built to Run

Billing, monitoring, backups, store reviews and support are part of the system, not an afterthought.

Transparent Delivery

Clear scoping, pragmatic milestones and progress you can see, with communication that business stakeholders can trust.

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers about what we build and how we work

What does BlanketByte build?

Complete software products: iOS and Android apps, customer-facing web apps, the admin panel your team works in, the backend API they all share, and the infrastructure underneath. We also build MCP servers so AI assistants like Claude and ChatGPT can work with your product. We run six products of our own built the same way, including Piccola, Gancio, Poofbox and SyncStock.

Can you add a mobile app, API or admin panel to a product we already have?

Yes. If you already have a web app, we can add the missing layer, such as a native mobile app, a documented API, an admin panel or an MCP server, and fit it to the stack you have. We can also take over an existing product, stabilise its infrastructure and keep shipping features.

What is an MCP server, and does my product need one?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the standard that lets AI assistants such as Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor read and act on data in other apps. An MCP server for your product lets your users ask their assistant to do things in your app, with OAuth sign-in and permissions they control. If your users already work with AI assistants, it is a fast way to make your product part of that workflow. More on MCP server development.

Do you build Shopify apps?

Yes. We built and run SyncStock, a shared-inventory app live on the Shopify App Store, with webhooks, multi-location stock, Shopify Billing and minimal permissions. More on Shopify app development.

Which technologies do you use?

Kotlin with Ktor or Node.js with TypeScript on the backend, PostgreSQL for data, React for web and admin apps, Flutter or Kotlin Multiplatform for iOS and Android, and Docker with CI/CD for deployment, self-hosted or in the cloud.

Where are you based, and do you work with international clients?

BlanketByte is based in Tbilisi, Georgia, and works with clients worldwide. We speak English, Italian and Romanian.
