Custom software studio · Austin, TX · est. 2019
We build the
things teams
can't buy off-the-shelf.
Codnit is a small, senior studio shipping bespoke web and mobile products for founders and operators who care about how things are built — not just what they look like.
What we believe
Templates ship quickly. They also ship the same product your competitor just launched.
We're a senior-only studio. No juniors, no offshore overflow. Every line of code is written by someone who's shipped at scale and is willing to put their name on it.
We pick fights against rigid CMSs, brittle plugins, and pretty-but-slow front-ends. We don't take projects we can't make excellent — and we say no a lot.
What we do
Four practices.
One standard of finish.
Custom Web Development
Robust, scalable, future-proof web applications. Next.js, React, Node, Postgres on AWS — written by people who've operated systems at 8-figure scale.
Mobile
Apps
iOS & Android. React Native, Swift, Kotlin. From first prototype to App Store launch.

Integrations
Bridges between CRMs, ERPs, payment gateways, and the rest of your stack. Webhooks that don't go missing at 3am.
Explore →SEO &
Organic Growth
Technical SEO that makes Google fall in love with your build. Audits, content strategy, and quarterly compounding.

Five gates,
no surprises.
Each phase has a clear deliverable and a clear exit. You see progress on your own devices, weekly — never just a status doc.

Stack we marry, not date
We pick tools that
still ship in five years.
We don't chase frameworks. We've shipped on these tools for years and stake our reputation on every choice. If a stack can't handle 10x your traffic at 1/3 your costs, we won't use it.
