We'd rather build it right than build it twice.
Tytric Labs is a small software studio in Kathmandu. We build our own products and partner with businesses on theirs, and each side makes us better at the other.
Why Tytric exists
We build our own software products, starting with KataJau, and partner with ambitious businesses to build theirs. Our products are where we prove how we build. Our partnerships are where we put it to work.
We're bootstrapped and deliberate. Client work funds the products we believe in, and product work sharpens how we build for clients. So the standards we hold our own software to are the standards we bring to yours.
I started Tytric because I wanted to build software that still works well after the excitement of launch has passed. A polished demo can make a product look finished. The real test is whether people can rely on it day after day—and whether the team can keep improving it without starting over.
That’s why we build and run our own products, starting with KataJau. We live with the decisions we make, learn from what happens in practice, and bring that same care to the businesses we work with.
Product work and client work feed each other.
What we believe, in practice
Technology should make a business simpler.
KataJau replaces a mix of calls, chat threads and notebooks with one inbox for questions, requests and bookings. If software adds steps, we've built the wrong thing.
Business value first, code second.
We ask what a feature is for before we ask how to build it. Sometimes the answer is to build less.
Build for the next release, not the demo.
Features ship with the unglamorous parts: edge cases, error states, and a way to tell whether they worked.
Based in Kathmandu, working across time zones
You work directly with the people designing and building your product. No account managers and no hand-offs, just a short line from your question to the code.

Why we're building KataJau
Where should we go? Around Kathmandu, finding an answer usually means scrolling through pages, messaging businesses one by one and waiting to hear back. KataJau puts plans, prices and requests in one place, and gives the businesses who run them a simpler way to reply.
