BALANE GmbH · Munich

BALANEfinds what costs companies time, then builds the software that fixes it. And 28 apps for everyone else.

From a free Mac utility, through a Word add-in, to the software a whole company runs on. All of it written by us, all of it out of Munich.

How it fits together

BALANE is one company.

Two divisions. Three ventures. 28 apps.

We find a problem in a client's process — then we build the tool that fixes it.

  1. Skalierungsreport
  2. FlowRefy
  3. FlowVisual
  4. Odoo

BALANE has four brands: BALANE.TECH, BALANE.APP, BALANE.CAPITAL and AGULHAS.ONE. The 28 apps sit under BALANE.APP, grouped by the platform they run on. The work flows across them: the Skalierungsreport carries the FlowRefy method, FlowRefy needed a tool so we built FlowVisual, and running it on real processes showed us the gaps our Odoo modules now close.

What we do

Advise. Build. Sell.

In focus

usable.software

Business software for small teams. It is the product we are putting the most work into right now, and it is not finished yet.

The catalogue

Everything we make.

28 apps, three Odoo modules, a few sites where we take a position — and three things that are not software at all. Grouped by what they are, not by what they run on.

N.01

Software you buy

06
Paid, or on its way there.
N.02

Free tools for your desk

07
Small Mac utilities that fix one thing.
N.03

Free apps for your phone

09
Same idea, smaller screen.
N.04

Odoo modules

03
Gaps we hit ourselves, then closed.
N.05

Where we stand

03
Three sites about how we think — about AI, and about information. One of them is a joke.
N.06

Not software

03
A report, a diagnosis, a method.
How we work

Four rules we keep.

  1. 01

    We ship early

    We would rather hand you a rough version this month than a perfect one next year.

  2. 02

    We write our own code

    No white-label, nothing outsourced. Every app on this page was written in this office.

  3. 03

    Data we never collect cannot leak

    Privacy and security come first, so we avoid gathering data wherever it can be avoided. Most of our apps run on your machine: no account, no login, nothing sent to us.

  4. 04

    Small tools, not platforms

    We would rather fix one annoying thing properly than sell you a suite you use ten percent of.

Offshoots

Where we widen out.

Not investments in the usual sense. Three side channels for building networks and standing on more than one leg.
