Ephyra is two people who make software for small businesses. Every project starts the same way: we sit down with you and listen.
An AI tool can generate an app in an afternoon, and usually rebuilds things that already exist. Making software secure, connecting it to the rest of your business and keeping it running for years takes time and domain knowledge. That is the part we take on.
Before anything gets built, we spend ninety minutes learning how your business runs and where the friction is. You leave with a written plan for what should change.
Sometimes one of our existing apps does the job with a little configuration. When nothing fits, we build an app shaped around the way you work. Either way it runs on the same secure platform, so it arrives sooner and behaves like everything else you use with us.
Servers, security updates and backups are our job after launch, backed by years of running business software. When your needs change, you talk to someone who already knows your setup.
Each of these began as one business’s problem and is still in active development. If one fits, you can be using it within days.
Send a proposal, collect the approval and signature, and take payment through one link your client opens.
Publish your availability so clients can book, reschedule and pay for time without a chain of emails.
A secure place for new clients to hand over files, logins and details. Credentials are encrypted the moment they arrive.
One directory for members, staff and clients, with tags, invitations and email that reaches the right group.
Track time as you work and see where the week went, by person and by project.
Follow work across teams and organizations on one board, from the first task to done.
We look at your tools, map how work moves through your team and talk with the people doing it. You leave with a written plan you can act on with or without us.
Josh runs the first meeting, writes up the plan and stays your contact for as long as we work together.

[email protected]An ephyra is a young jellyfish just setting out on its own, which seemed like a fitting name for a company that helps small businesses grow.
