Own it

Software you own, for the apps you rent

Each tool below does the job of an app small businesses pay for every month. The code is free and open source under the Apache-2.0 license. Run it yourself, or have PickBits set it up, make it yours and run it for you. These are also the starting points we build on when you ask for personalized software.

Two more things

Have years of paper tickets or receipts? PickBits Paper-to-Records turns photos of them into a spreadsheet you can check, using your own AI. Code on GitHub.

Keep renting card payments, payroll and email. Those are worth paying a specialist for. For the rest, take the PickBits Challenge: add up a year of the software you'd replace, halve it, and a one-time build should come in under that number.
