Independent software studio
We build the apps
we wanted to exist.
CRSV Studios designs and ships end-to-end software — web apps, browser extensions and native mobile. A small number of outside projects a year: one operational chokehold, then a thin app or SaaS. Specialist studio, not a generic shop.
Selected work
Products shipped end to end.
Designed, built, deployed and maintained in-house — from schema to CSS to the server it runs on. The cards below are the list.
Capabilities
One studio, the whole stack.
Product web apps
Next.js and React front ends on Postgres, with real auth, real migrations and real deploys. Not prototypes.
Browser extensions
Manifest V3 extensions with side panels, tab capture and third-party API integrations that survive Chrome review.
Native mobile
SwiftUI clients and installable PWAs — push notifications, offline support and app-store-shaped builds.
Real-time systems
Multiplayer editing on CRDTs, live presence, and socket infrastructure that holds up with people actually in it.
AI integration
Model-backed features wired in properly — server-side proxies, allowlists, and MCP servers so assistants can reach your data.
Infrastructure
Self-hosted on hardware we control. TLS, reverse proxies, systemd services, backups and repeatable deploy scripts.
The studio
Small on purpose.
CRSV Studios is a small independent shop that builds and runs its own software. No handoffs between a design team and an engineering team and an ops team — the person who draws the screen is the person who writes the query and the person who gets paged when it breaks.
Outside work is scarce on purpose. We take a small number of projects a year, for an operator who already has the demand, and whose chokehold is operational: a spreadsheet, five logins, a process that only lives in someone's head. The brief is a thin MVP — an app or SaaS that replaces that stack, not a generic agency build.
That shows up in the work. These are products with migrations, backups and uptime, not case studies assembled after the fact. Everything here runs on infrastructure we manage directly. Partnerships where the studio owns a piece of what it builds are welcome.
One chokehold
The existing operator process that is already expensive. Not a brainstormed product idea.
Thin software
A small app or SaaS that replaces the spreadsheet stack. Ship the office, not a platform.
Specialist, not a shop
A few outside projects a year. The same people design, build and run what ships.
