We untangle Rails and Laravel apps (and the spreadsheets around them), make them dramatically better for a fixed price, then set you free.

You're not alone, and you're not stuck. Most of these apps don't need a rewrite. They need a few focused weeks from someone who knows what they're doing. With today's tools, a few weeks gets you a lot.
A year and $80k later you have the same features and new bugs. Your app already works. We keep it working and improve it a bit at a time.
The best month is the one where nothing happens. Patches go in, the lights stay green and you get a short report saying so.
Small companies deserve the same care big ones get, at a price that makes sense for one app.
Agencies make money keeping you dependent. We'd rather make you independent: everything documented, everything yours, and a maintainer set up for your app that you own. That's also why people come back.
We look at what anyone on the internet can see: outdated software, known security holes, SSL, email setup, speed. You get a report written for humans. Here's a real one.
We read every line of your code and talk to the people who use it. You get a plain map of what you've got, the spreadsheets and copy-paste around it, what's risky, and the ten improvements worth making, each with a fixed price. See a sample.
We do the most valuable items from the map. Upgrade the framework, add tests, make deploys a one-liner, kill the Monday spreadsheet, build the feature you've wanted for years. Fixed scope, fixed price.
You get everything written down, plus an AI maintainer set up for your app: instructions, runbooks, tests and automatic security updates. We'll show your team how to use it. You own all of it.
A human checks in every month, applies patches, handles anything that catches fire, and sends you a short report.
Beyond rescuing old apps, we specialise in the things that quietly slow teams down:
From 40 minutes to under 10. Deploys nobody has to babysit.
Flaky, slow and useless tests found and fixed. Tests where the money is.
Tracing, metrics and alerts that answer "why was it slow?" in minutes.
Cloud, database, CI and monitoring bills cut, with the saving shown first.
Clone to running app in 15 minutes. New people ship on day one.
Just want it kept safe, no renovation? Care works on its own too, with a one-time $1,200 onboarding. Extra hours $100. Cancel with 30 days' notice.

Hi,
I've spent 15 years inside other people's codebases. The pattern is always the same: someone built something good, moved on, and the business kept running on it, slowly drifting out of date until it became frightening.
None of that is a disaster. It's just neglect, and neglect is fixable. I recently took a FreeBSD server with more than ten years of accumulated config, documented every corner of it and moved it to modern Linux without losing a byte.
What's changed is speed. With today's AI tools, work that took an agency six months now takes a few focused weeks, if someone experienced is steering. Most companies don't know that yet.
So that's the job: find out what's really there, make it a lot better quickly, then hand you the keys and get out of the way. If that sounds like what you need, start with the free check. Worst case, you learn something about your app.
