Got a weird
software problem?
We like those.
Quirky Dreams! Software creates custom apps for individuals, small businesses, and organizations, turning unusual problems and specialized workflows into simple, useful software.
THE PROCESSFrom idea to app. A clear, simple path.
We work through the questions that matter before building the thing.
- 1
Share your idea
Tell us about the problem or workflow. No technical jargon needed.
- 2
Explore & define
We ask questions, understand the details, and agree on what success looks like.
- 3
Check feasibility
We assess what’s possible, outline an approach, and give you a clear estimate.
- 4
Build & refine
We build in stages, sharing working versions so your feedback shapes the app.
- 5
Deliver & support
You get a usable app, a handoff, and a plan for future improvements.
WORKING TOGETHER
Clear terms from the start.
01 / OWNERSHIPWho owns the app?
Your idea, content, and data stay yours. For custom work, we agree in writing who owns the finished app and source code; client ownership after full payment is our usual approach. Quirky Dreams! keeps its pre-existing tools and reusable components. Third-party software follows its own licenses.
02 / PAYMENTHow do payments work?
We scope and price work in stages, starting with discovery and moving to a prototype and build when it makes sense. Before each stage, you’ll know its deliverables, price, and payment schedule. Changes outside the agreed scope get a separate quote.
The signed project agreement sets the exact ownership, payment, delivery, and support terms for your project.
