Halvic Labs is a small Swiss software workshop. We design, build, and operate a portfolio of products for European businesses — quietly, on Swiss infrastructure, without US hyperscalers in the critical path.
Swiss data centres primary and secondary. No AWS, GCP, Azure, or Cloudflare in the critical path of any product we ship.
Customer data never leaves Switzerland and the EU. Stated in every contract. Verifiable in every deployment.
Postgres, WebDAV, CalDAV, S3, MCP. If a standard exists, we use it. Your data leaves with you, in formats other tools can read.
Swiss payment provider. No "contact us for pricing" theatre. Plans visible, invoices in Swiss francs, VAT calculated correctly.
No handoffs to a support layer. The people who shipped the code answer your message. Same hand on the pen.
Spec deep, ship narrow, expand carefully. We'd rather be late than wrong. Software you can build a business on.
A natural-language workplace terminal for European SMEs. Talk to your tools — Digistore24, Chatwoot, your S3 bucket, your CalDAV calendar — in plain English or German.
Prompt version control for engineering teams. Track, branch, and review the prompts that power your LLM features the same way you track code.
Operations software for photo-booth rental businesses. Bookings, prints, gallery delivery, and revenue — all from one dashboard.
Operations and logbook software for flight clubs and airfields. Bookings, fuel, maintenance, and pilot records — kept current in one place.
Band site for Background Gamblers. Tour dates, press kit, and music — Swiss-hosted, no third-party trackers.
A third product is in early specification. Spec deep, ship narrow — we won't name it until it's worth naming.
AI-powered audiobook creation. From idea to published audiobook in 7 minutes.
All-in-one SaaS rental management platform — scheduling, payments, and analytics in one dashboard.
Open-source enterprise data platform — dbt, Airflow, and Superset in one integrated suite.
Tickets in. Software out. Anvil orchestrates 58+ specialised AI agents that turn Jira, GitHub, and Trello tickets into implemented, tested, reviewed, and deployed code.
Marketplace for premium domain names. Buy instantly, make an offer, or lease to own — all in one place.
We take on a small number of senior engineering engagements per year — typically architecture, data platform, or production Laravel builds for European clients.
We're selective on fit. Small teams, real problems, owners who will read what we write. We say no often. When we say yes, we ship.
Rates in CHF, work mostly remote with quarterly on-site visits in DACH. Engagements run 2 weeks to 6 months.
