Software we own
Alongside client work we build and operate our own products, which is where a lot of our engineering practice gets tested first.
Swahilio
swahilio.com
A Swahili graded reader for people serious about speaking it.
Swahilio teaches Swahili the way people actually acquire a language: by reading a lot of it at a level just past comfortable. Stories are graded from absolute beginner upward, so learners build fluency through volume of comprehensible input rather than grammar drills.
- Graded stories that step up as your vocabulary grows
- Tap any word for instant meaning, without leaving the page
- Audio from native speakers to tie reading to real pronunciation
- Progress tracking that shows vocabulary actually retained
Kiswanglish
kiswanglish.com
A graded English reader for Swahili speakers.
Kiswanglish teaches English to Swahili speakers by reading: graded passages with audio on every line, tap-for-meaning translations and spaced vocabulary review. Free to use, priced in shillings if you want the ads gone.
- Audio on every line, with the words lit as you hear them
- Translations one tap away, so the reading never stops
- Vocabulary flashcards on a spaced-repetition schedule
- No streaks and no points - just stories
Loccomaps
loccomaps.com
A local maps API built on Tanzanian geospatial data.
Mapping infrastructure for Tanzania, served from Tanzania. Vector basemaps, routing and a places index, exposed as an API you can build a real product on top of - without every tile request leaving the country first.
- Vector basemaps and tiles from Tanzanian geospatial data
- Routing, distance matrices and turn-by-turn directions
- A places and points-of-interest index built for local addressing
- Served locally, so latency and data residency stop being a problem
Secco Vicoba
app.secco.tz
Savings groups, run properly, on the phone everyone already has.
Secco Vicoba put the running of a savings group on a phone - contributions, loans, repayments and the share-out in one ledger every member can see. The product has been acquired by a partner, and Secco continues to support its development.
- One shared ledger instead of one person's notebook
- Loans, interest and repayment schedules tracked per member
- End-of-cycle share-out calculated and checkable
- Android-first, light on data, built for real handsets
