BFT LLC

Software for companies that need it built well.

We take on a small number of client projects alongside our own products. The same people who design the work also write it, deploy it and support it, so what you get is built to be run, not just delivered.

How can we help?

What we take on

iOS apps

Native SwiftUI apps from first screen to App Store release: accounts and sign-in, subscriptions, cloud sync, photos, maps and offline use. ScaleScience is the reference: a production app with an AWS backend, used by anglers on the water.

Web applications

Fast, global sites and web apps on Cloudflare: accounts, payments, live data, search-engine-ready pages and the security headers to match. PodiumOracle serves about 95 leagues of forecasts this way, with sign-in, a paid plan and live chat.

Data pipelines and forecasting

Ingest from APIs and public sources, model it, publish it on a schedule, and show your work. PodiumOracle rebuilds every league twice a day and scores its own predictions against seasons the models never saw.

AI features, done carefully

Assistants and search grounded in your data, with citations, rate limits and moderation built in. RegBot answers fishing-regulation questions from official government sources and shows where each answer came from.

How a project works

  1. You write to us

    Use the inquiry form or email. Tell us what you want built or changed, who it is for, what you have today and when you need it. A rough budget helps us answer well.

  2. We talk it through

    A call to understand the problem behind the request. We will tell you plainly if we are not the right fit, and point you somewhere better when we can.

  3. You get a written proposal

    Scope, timeline and price in plain language, with what is included and what is not. No work starts until you have agreed to it.

  4. We build in the open

    You see progress as it happens, in a running version you can try, not a slide deck. Questions get answered the same week they come up.

  5. You own the result

    The code, the accounts and the data are yours from day one. We hand over with documentation and can keep running it with you, or step away cleanly.

A good fit

  • A defined product, tool or feature, from a few weeks of work to several months.
  • An owner on your side who can make decisions and try builds as they land.
  • Work on Apple platforms, the web, data pipelines or AI features, or several of these together.
  • Companies that value software that stays simple to operate after we are gone.

If that sounds like you, or you are not sure, ask. We would rather answer a question than have you guess.

Our work

Client projects will be listed here as they ship. Until then, our own products are the portfolio: each one is built, deployed, monitored and supported by us, which is the standard your project gets too.

Ready when you are

Tell us about your project. It takes a few minutes, and we reply by email.
