01 · Software for real-world operations
Built by people who understand the work.
Auptim builds differently. We start with the workflow, the operator, the handoff, the record, and the decision. Then we build software that keeps real work moving.
02 · Why we make this
We've been on your side of the desk.
Operators first — we ran the work before we built the tools.
Matt ran Amazon operations and led supply chain ops at a regulated biotech. Aydan was an operations leader at Amazon and a data analyst who built tools for ops to increase efficiency. Ehren is the spark behind our best ideas—he's shipped many high-profile software projects inside regulated biotech. Dominique is an Olympian and World Champion who's worked with and coached athletes across every age range.
We got tired of the duct tape. Spreadsheets duct-taped to Slack. Enterprise tools built for thousand-person companies, sold to teams of four, priced like the buyer was confused. Calendars pretending to be marketplaces. Project tools that demand a full-time admin to run them.

The project board that can look in the repo.
Shmidge gives small software teams a live board, a GitHub-aware assistant, and a cleaner way to keep delivery honest.
Every team has the same mystery pile: half-written tickets, decisions buried in chat, blockers hiding in GitHub, and a board that starts lying the moment everyone gets busy.
Shmidge puts Vega Assistant in the middle of it. Vega can turn rough notes into tickets, clean up existing issues, search the backlog, judge priority, move work in bulk, plan sprints, summarize chat, and pull old decisions back into daylight.
Since Shmidge connects to GitHub, Vega can search indexed repos, read code snippets, spot where a problem lives, and help write tickets that point at the actual code instead of saying “fix auth” and hoping for the best.
Claude Code and Codex can work through Shmidge Companion too: pull board context, update tickets, create epics and sprints, link branches and commits, and leave a session trail. And when the team spans languages, chat, tickets, and comments can meet each person where they read best.
04 · Also in flight
Two more on the way.
Both born from the same observation: the people doing the actual work aren't the people the software was built for.

Stable Management
Software for the people running barns.
Most "stable software" is a spreadsheet somebody slapped a logo on. We're building the thing that replaces the clipboard, the group text, and the memory of whoever happened to be in the barn that morning — designed alongside the people who actually run them.

Most booking platforms are calendars with a payment form. OnMain is the part nobody's built — a translator between what the client actually wants and the provider who actually does it. Mohawks shouldn't get filed under "Hair Cut" with everyone else.

06 · Working with us
Have something specific that needs building?
Most of what we do now is products. But once or twice a year we still take on a custom build — usually because somebody described a problem that sounded suspiciously like a future Auptim product. If that sounds like you, tell us what you’re stuck on.
