We build software that holds weight.
Girder Labs is the studio behind a focused shelf of apps — from fitness to mobility, and growing. We design, engineer and ship products end to end, then keep them standing.
Real products, in real hands.
Each app is built, owned and operated by the studio. Different problems, the same structural rigour underneath.
ForgeFit
An AI-assisted strength and coaching app — personalised programming, progress tracking and subscriptions, built on a modern, scalable stack.
↗TrueShift
A take-home pay calculator for rideshare and delivery drivers — turning messy gig earnings into clear, real numbers. Installable as a PWA, fast on any phone.
One studio, the whole stack.
We don't hand off between teams. The people who design a product are the people who ship and run it.
Product & design
From the first sketch to a polished interface. Clear, fast, accessible products people actually want to open.
Full-stack engineering
Modern web and mobile builds on Next.js, Supabase and the edge — secure, scalable and built to be maintained.
AI integration
Practical AI woven into products — assistants, scoring, summarisation and automation that earns its place.
PWA & mobile
Installable, offline-capable apps that feel native on any device, without the app-store overhead.
Data & automation
Pipelines, digests and scheduled jobs that quietly do the work — turning raw data into something useful on a timer.
Ship & operate
We launch fast and stay on. Hosting, monitoring and iteration are part of the build, not an afterthought.
Structure first. Then everything else.
A girder is the part you never see and never think about — until you realise the whole thing is standing on it. That's how we approach software.
Frame
We pin down the real problem and the smallest thing worth shipping. No scope theatre.
Build
Design and engineering move together in tight loops. You see working software, not slides.
Ship
Live in front of real users in weeks, on infrastructure that scales when it needs to.
Reinforce
We measure, fix and extend. Products get stronger after launch, not abandoned.
A small studio with a long shelf.
Girder Labs is an independent product studio registered in England. We back our own ideas and a handful of partners', building apps across the sectors we find genuinely interesting — and running them ourselves.
No agency overhead, no endless decks. Just a tight team that designs, ships and maintains software that holds weight.
Have something worth building?
Whether it's a product you want shipped or an idea you want pressure-tested, we'd like to hear it.
