A small studio
in Las Vegas
Native Code LLC builds and operates its own software products, and takes on a small number of outside builds each year.
Why the company exists
The work started before the company did. In 2020 the founder quit a job and started helping small businesses on his own. Automation, software, internal tools, and the search work that gets a business found. Whatever made sense for the business in front of him.
Native Code was founded in 2025. By then AI had changed how fast software could be built, and a small studio could ship what used to take a team. That made a studio worth having, so one was started.
In 2026 it became Native Code LLC. Several brands and projects of our own had been built and launched, and each needed a company behind it. A name on the store listing. An entity on the contracts. One set of legal documents a reviewer or a customer could actually read.
Doing that properly turned out to be the harder half of shipping software. Most of this website is the result: 14 documents that say exactly what happens to people’s data, and who is responsible when something goes wrong.
The building work came first and still comes first. We ship our own products, and a few times a year somebody asks us to build one for them. Those projects get real attention precisely because we don’t take many.
History
Everything that has actually shipped
Newest first, and every entry already shipped.
Form Native Code LLC in Las Vegas, Nevada
Several brands and projects of our own were built and launched by then. One entity behind all of them, so there’s a name on the store listing and a company on the contract.
Found Native Code
AI had changed how fast software could be built. A small studio could now ship what used to take a team, so a studio made sense.
Ship products of our own and keep them running
Subscription billing, scheduled jobs, store review, support. We’re our own first customer, which is why we know where the bodies are buried.
Take on outside builds, a few a year
Small number on purpose. It’s the only way each one gets real attention rather than a project manager and a status report.
Quit the job and start helping small businesses
On his own, with no company name yet. Automation, software, internal tools, and the search work that gets a business found. Whatever made sense for the business in front of him.
Learn the unglamorous half the hard way
Card declines at renewal, time zones, app review rejections, migrations that had to run without downtime. None of it’s in the tutorial.
Yes, actually in Las Vegas
Not a mailbox in a state with friendly filing fees. Las Vegas is where the work happens and where the company is registered. If you’re a local business, that means you can meet a person rather than a support queue in another time zone.
Most of our work is remote and most of our clients aren’t in Nevada, which is normal for software. But knowing where a company actually is matters when you’re about to trust it with your business. So we say it plainly, instead of putting a stock photo of a skyline on the page.
How we work
The ten things we always do
Every studio has a values page and most of them say nothing. These are specific enough to hold us to, and you’re welcome to.
Finished beats clever
Software that works and is boring is worth more than software that’s interesting and nearly done. We optimize for the thing being in your hands, doing its job.
You own everything
The source, the repository, the accounts, the domain. On full payment it’s yours. If you ever want to take the work elsewhere, we help you leave rather than making it difficult.
Plain words, everywhere
In the interface, in the emails, and in the legal pages. If something needs a glossary to understand, it was written for the writer instead of the reader.
The hard thing, early
Maybe the plan won’t work. Maybe the budget won’t cover it. Maybe you don’t need what you’re asking for. The useful time to say so is at the start. Not in month four.
We’re our own first customer
We run our own products, so we live with our own decisions. A shortcut taken today is a support message we answer ourselves in six months. It changes what you’re willing to build.
Scope in writing, before code
What gets built, what it costs, what it doesn’t include, and when it’s done. If you want something outside that later, we quote it and you decide. We never add work and then invoice for it.
You see it running every week
Not a status report. The actual software, that you can click. Course corrections are cheap in week two and expensive in month four.
Boring technology, on purpose
New is a cost you pay in a year, alone, at two in the morning. We reach for the interesting thing when it earns its place, and not before.
Accessible from the start
Keyboard, contrast, labeling and text scaling are part of the build rather than a line item you can decline. Retrofitting them costs more and works less well.
Nothing we can’t evidence
No certifications we don’t hold, no compliance we can’t show you, no client logos we were not given permission to use. What’s on this site is what’s true.
About the size of us
We’re small, and we would rather you hear that from us than work it out later. In practice, you talk to the person building your software. Decisions happen in a day instead of a month. And we can’t take on ten projects at once.
It also means we don’t hold certifications that require a compliance department. We say exactly what security is in place on the Security page rather than implying more. If your procurement needs a SOC 2 report, tell us early and we’ll tell you honestly whether we’re a fit.
Where to start
That’s us. Now tell us about you.
If that sounds like the right fit, tell us what you are trying to build. If it does not, no hard feelings, and we would rather you found that out here.
