Built with care,
not just code.

We Build Good Things is a software studio based in Nashville. We make apps, build automations, and help organizations use technology to do more meaningful work.

Our background is a bit unusual: carpentry, yoga instruction, mental health work, teaching coding in prisons, and serving on nonprofit boards. It all adds up to software built with a different sensibility—human-centered, privacy-respecting, and focused on what actually helps.

We believe technology should serve people, not exploit them. That means no dark patterns, no unnecessary data collection, and no building things we wouldn't use ourselves.

What we care about

  • Privacy by default—your data belongs to you
  • Software that does one thing well
  • Honest pricing, no surprise fees
  • Building for longevity, not just launch
  • Accessibility and inclusion
  • Working with mission-driven organizations

Let's build something good.
