Custom software · Publishing · Games
Tinderbox Labs designs, builds, and deploys custom applications, publishes our own software, and makes games. Nearly 40 years of systems experience, amplified by an AI-augmented practice, takes your idea from inception to minimum viable product in days, not weeks.
What we do
We build software for clients, ship software of our own, and make games. Each practice sharpens the others.
Web, mobile, desktop, and backend systems designed around how your business actually works, then architected to scale and deployed to production.
Explore services 02We build, ship, and support our own products. It keeps us honest: we live with the same deadlines, users, and support tickets as our clients. Our first, TuneBit, is coming soon.
See our software 03Original games built with the same engineering discipline we bring to enterprise systems, pointed at play instead of productivity. Our first, Rejoice!, launches this Black Friday.

Build the church. Lead the people. Keep the books.
A church-building management sim where you design it tile by tile, furnish it for one of forty traditions, and keep it full, Sunday after Sunday. Launching 27 November 2026 for Windows, Mac and Linux.
AI-augmented development
Our practice pairs decades of engineering judgment with AI tooling at every stage. Machines handle the scaffolding, boilerplate, and test coverage, and experienced engineers make every decision that matters.
// Illustrative timeline. Every project is scoped individually.
Our process
A short, focused path from a raw idea to software in production, with a working build at every step.
We dig into the problem, the users, and the constraints, and agree on what "minimum" and "viable" really mean for you.
Decades of systems design go into choosing the right stack, data model, and boundaries so the product can grow.
AI-augmented development turns the architecture into working, tested features fast, and you see progress daily.
We ship to production with CI/CD and monitoring in place, then help you iterate on what real users tell you.
Experience
Nearly four decades of designing, building, and deploying software systems means we've seen what lasts and what breaks. Speed is safe in experienced hands.
