For teams with engineers in-house
Amplify the engineers you have.
A live product, a team that knows it, and a roadmap longer than the quarter. Lightforce adds delivery capacity around the engineers you have, so more of that roadmap ships on iOS, Android, and web from one sketch, with your team setting the direction.
Bring your product roadmap. A Software Architect plans the capacity with your team.Coming next: Lightforce Studio, in development, where your engineers will work on the same factory directly.

Lightforce takes on the well-specified build work around them, so your roadmap moves at the speed of their decisions.Your engineers stay in chargeYour team sets the standards, holds the architecture, and approves every release before it ships.
Parallel delivery on your roadmapWell-specified features move through the factory while your engineers focus on the hard problems only they can solve.
Clean code in your reposReviewed work lands in your repositories, written to your standards, with full commercial rights from day one.

It genuinely feels like having an in-house team. Every agency will claim to deliver that. Most absolutely do not. [Lightforce] does.Jessica Blankenship, Founder and CEO, STAR/CHILD
How it works
From idea to shipped, in four steps
A guided path with our team beside you and a Software Architect signing every sketch. No technical background required.01
Bring your ideaShare an idea or a product roadmap. Plain language is enough to start.02
Get your sketchOur team shapes it into a sketch with you: the domains of the app, the jobs each one gets done, the rules that must always hold, and the scenarios a user walks through, written GIVEN, WHEN, THEN. The Architect signs it before anything is built.03
Into the ForgeYour signed sketch goes into Lightforce Forge, our factory. Specialized agents build, inspect, and release your software against the sketch to a production standard. The Architect directs the line and holds release authority, so you never have to run it.04
Shipped, and yoursYou approve the release and it goes live on iOS, Android, and web. Your product and its IP, yours from day one. Lightforce Studio, in development, will let your team keep building with the Architect on call.Pricing
