The sign-in, storage and messaging under every app, ready to carry your name.

What is seen

The plain machinery under an app: sign-in, a profile, saved state and messages, already joined together before the first screen is drawn.

What it does for your people

There is little to see, which is the point: sign-in, a profile, saved state and messages, already joined before the first screen is drawn. Groundwork was made to give every app in the house the same foundations, so each new one begins finished underneath. As a white label it becomes the base for apps you build, with your name, your domain and your colours, and its own database. It is not open yet and can be shaped with you.

What white label means here

Groundwork is the house's name for it. Under licence it takes yours. The people who use it see your name at the top, your domain in the address, your colours on the page, and never the house's.

  • Your nameThe app is introduced as yours, on every screen they open.
  • Your domainIt answers at an address you hold, so the link you give is the link they keep.
  • Your recordsWhat your people write in it is kept in a database of its own, as yours, not pooled with anyone else's.

It is being finished. It can be finished with you, so that the version you carry is shaped by the people it is for.

What it includes

  • Sign-in and profiles
  • Saved app state
  • Messages and notifications
  • Resources per person

Who it is for

Studios and practices building their own apps.

Read beside the field it serves, the coach with a method: Your method, in a room that carries your name, with your clients' records kept as yours.

What stands behind it

It was made in the house's own studio, as one of the instruments the house uses on its own work.

The books it was made beside are kept in The Library, to be read before any conversation, so the voice the app speaks in is known first.

How a yes goes

  1. Read from The Library, so the voice behind Groundwork is known before anything is asked.
  2. See Groundwork beside the apps chosen with it for your field, below.
  3. Request a conversation. A few lines are enough: your name, your practice, and which app.
  4. The fitting: Groundwork shown wearing your name and your colours.
  5. The terms, in sentences: what you keep, what it costs, and how you would leave.
  6. Live on your domain, with your people's records in a database of its own.

The terms are set in conversation with Ammanuel and written in sentences, never on this page.

Chosen with it

Made to be kept, under the name it is kept by.

A licence begins with one conversation: which app, under what name, for whom, and what it should do that it does not do yet.
