Independent software lab

Small tools, carefully made.

N36 labs makes apps for the platforms businesses already run on: online stores, point of sale, and standalone tools. Ready to use, made with the patience of a craft shop.

Where our apps run

Built for the platforms you already use.

01 · Ecommerce

Apps for online stores

Apps that plug into the storefront a merchant already runs, and quietly do one job well.

  • Shopify
  • Salesforce Commerce Cloud

02 · Point of sale

Apps for the counter

Tools for the systems that ring up the sale, run the line and keep the kitchen moving.

  • Square
  • Clover
  • Toast
  • TouchBistro

03 · Standalone

And apps on their own

Web and mobile apps that do not need a platform underneath them to be useful.

  • Web
  • Mobile

Platform logos are trademarks of their owners.

Custom builds

Want one of your own? We’ll build it with you.

Most of what we make is ready to use today. When it isn’t, we take on a small number of custom apps, built the same careful way.

  1. 01

    Sketch

    We start with the problem, not the stack. A short written plan and a rough prototype.

  2. 02

    Build

    Small releases you can click on every week. No black box, no big reveal.

  3. 03

    Ship

    Tested, documented and deployed with care, on infrastructure you own.

  4. 04

    Tend

    Software is a garden. We stay around to keep it healthy after launch.

Lab notes

Written down as we go.

All notes

  • Why we built RestoQ

    A white paper on the gap RestoQ fills for Shopify stores that sell consumables: what the research says about repeat buyers, why we built a reminder instead of another subscription tool, and what we chose to leave out.
