Philippine Software Studio · Est. 2026

We build what your business needs, then we maintain it.

A Philippine software studio building web apps, mobile apps, and the business systems behind them, for clients at home and overseas. We stay on after launch to keep it working.

Website samples

Pick a style. We tailor it.

Sample directions for the kinds of websites we build. Each preview shows the real demo site. Click one to explore it live, then we design yours around your brand, your content, and how your customers actually buy.

These are style directions, not off-the-shelf templates. Every build is designed around your brand and content.

What we build

Most people come to us for a website.

Then they find out we build the rest of it too — the systems behind the counter, the app your staff carry, the parts that run on their own. Here is the whole range, grouped by who it’s for.

What your customers see

Websites

Fast, findable in Google, and easy enough that you can update it yourself.

Company profiles · Landing pages · Branch & location pages

Online Stores

Checkout that takes GCash, cards, and bank transfer, with stock that stays in sync.

Product catalogues · Delivery zones · Order tracking

What your team works in

Web Apps

Dashboards, booking systems, and customer portals — the screens your staff sit in all day.

Admin dashboards · Bookings & scheduling · Client portals

Business Systems

Inventory, orders, scheduling, records. The unglamorous software your week actually runs on.

Stock & inventory · Invoicing & receipts · Records and reports

Mobile Apps

iOS and Android, built from how your people already work instead of from a template.

Field & delivery apps · Staff tools · Loyalty apps

What runs without anyone

AI & Automation

Chatbots that handle the first question, document processing, and the copy-paste nobody enjoys.

Chatbots · Receipt & document scanning · Scheduled reports

And the work around them

Plenty of jobs don’t have a neat label. We take those on too:

  • System integrations
  • Moving off an old system
  • Rescuing a half-finished build
  • APIs & third-party connections
  • Payment gateway setup
  • Domain, email & hosting
  • Training your team afterwards

If it’s software and it isn’t on this page, ask anyway. You’ll get a straight yes, or an honest no with a pointer to someone who does it better.

Services

We build it, then we keep it running.

  1. 01 Hosting · Updates · Support

    Care & Managed Hosting

    Every build ships with a 30-day warranty. If something we wrote is broken, we fix it at no charge. After that, keeping it healthy is ongoing work: security patches, backups, uptime monitoring, and the small changes that always come up. That runs on a tiered care plan you pay for separately, so support is steady instead of a scramble when something breaks.

  2. 02 Automate · Connect · Save time

    AI Workflow Automation

    We point AI at the repetitive parts of your operations: the manual data entry, the copy-paste between systems, the first line of customer questions. Your team gets that time back.

  3. 03 Web · Mobile · Custom

    Software Engineering

    Full-stack web and mobile development. We write tested, documented code and ship it in small steps you can watch, so what launches is something another developer can pick up and keep building.

  4. 04 Design · Launch · Grow

    Product & Strategy

    Have an idea but no spec yet? We help shape it. A bit of research, a design, and a first version small enough to launch and learn from real users.

Why Makarios

A small studio, with a long view.

Same hands, start to finish

No outsourcing, no juniors, no handoffs. We scope your project, design it, write it, and answer the phone about it ourselves.

Ship fast

You see working software early, and you see it often. We'd rather show you something real every week than disappear for a month.

You own what we build you

Commission a custom build and the code is yours to keep: clean repositories, real documentation, a proper handover. No lock-in, no black boxes. Our own products (SnapSibo, Quavora, WattView) work the other way: those are subscriptions, where the data is yours and exportable any time, and the code stays ours.

Long-term support

Launch isn’t the end of the relationship. If you want us to keep monitoring and improving things, that runs on a care plan you pay for separately from the build, for as long as you need it.

How we work

From kickoff to production.

  1. 01

    Discover

    We dig into the problem, who it’s for, and what’s in the way. Then we agree on what a win actually looks like.

    ~1 week
  2. 02

    Design

    We map the flows and build clickable prototypes before writing much code, so we get the experience right first.

    1–2 weeks
  3. 03

    Build

    We build in short sprints you can follow. Everything gets tested, reviewed, and pushed to a staging site as it’s done.

    ongoing
  4. 04

    Ship

    Launch day comes with monitoring, analytics, and a rollback plan ready to go. Nothing reaches production untested.

    launch
  5. 05

    Support

    Want us to keep maintaining and improving things after launch? That’s an optional care plan, billed separately from the build.

    retainer

Our promise

What you can count on.

  1. You talk to the people building it

    No account managers, no outsourced teams, no being passed along. The people who design and build your software are the people you deal with.

  2. Progress you can see

    Work lands as functioning software in short sprints, so you're never left waiting in the dark for one big reveal at the end.

  3. Your data is always yours

    On a custom build, code, documentation and accounts are handed over in full. On a product subscription, your data stays exportable whenever you want it. Either way, nothing is held hostage.

  4. A real reply, fast

    Every serious enquiry gets a genuine answer from a person within two business days. No bots, no runaround.

Client stories land here once our first projects wrap.

The tools behind the work

FAQ

The questions everyone asks.

Do I own the code?

On a custom build, yes. The repositories, the documentation and the accounts are handed over in full, and you can take them elsewhere at any time. Our own products (SnapSibo, Quavora, WattView) work differently: those are subscriptions, so the code stays ours while your data remains yours and exportable whenever you ask.

What does a project cost?

We quote per project rather than from a price list, because a three-branch inventory system and a marketing site aren't the same job. Custom builds are a one-time build cost plus ongoing hosting and care. Product subscriptions have a one-time setup covering module configuration, migrating your existing data and training your team, then a monthly fee. Tell us what you need and you'll get a real number, not a range.

How long does it take?

Discovery is usually about a week, design one to two, then build in sprints you can follow. A focused first version is typically measured in weeks; a larger system in months. You'll see working software early and often rather than waiting for one reveal at the end.

What happens after launch?

Every build ships with a 30-day warranty. If something we wrote is broken, we fix it at no charge. Beyond that, keeping software healthy is ongoing work: security patches, backups, monitoring and the small changes that always come up. That runs on a care plan billed separately, so support is steady rather than a scramble.

What if I stop the care plan?

Nothing is held hostage. On a custom build you keep the code and can run it yourself or hand it to another team. On a product subscription your data stays exportable. We'll agree the notice period and export window in writing before work starts, so there are no surprises either way.

Should I use Quavora or a custom system?

Quavora if your process is fairly standard, your team is small, and you'd rather subscribe than commission a build: a one-time setup fee covers configuration, data migration and training, then it's monthly. Custom if your workflow is genuinely unusual, you need deep integration with systems you already run, or you want to own the code outright. That last one is the real dividing line — a custom build is yours to keep, while Quavora stays ours and runs on our hosting. Quavora is still in development, so for now the choice usually means starting custom or joining the waitlist. Either way, we'll tell you honestly which one fits.

Can I see it before committing?

Yes. Book a call and we'll walk you through it live using sample data. Nothing to sign up for, nothing to set up on your side. SnapSibo is in beta and we can arrange access for your team from there. Quavora is still in development, so join the waitlist and we'll show you the moment it's ready rather than demo something half-finished.
