alfi — apps for humansGet Started

Software people actually want to use.

Our Story

alfi is a mashup of entrepreneurs, developers, engineers and designers, most of whom have other jobs. The focus we share is a disdain for crap design and a love of ‘what’s possible’. We’ve developed our own systems, pressure-tested them in the real world of business, and know what we can offer. We love zero-bullshit documentation, quoting and delivery.

We have extensive experience in the AHPRA and NDIS space, including medical records management, the use of artificial intelligence, and allowable business practice.

If that sounds like the kind of people you’d rather work with, tell us what’s slowing your business down. A short conversation is usually enough to know whether we can help. Get in touch →

How We Work

Start with the humans

We sit with the people doing the work before we write a line of code. The app has to fit their day, their phone and their patience.

Keep the scope tight

Small releases that solve one real problem beat a big system that arrives late. We ship early and improve with you.

Build on what you have

Microsoft 365, Xero, your practice or job software — we connect to them rather than replacing them.

Nothing hidden

Plain-English proposals, fixed-scope pricing, and code you own. If we automate something, you can see exactly what it did and why.

Mockups before code

Every project starts with a comprehensive, clickable mockup of the finished app. Nothing gets built until you've used it.

Most software disappointment comes from one sentence: “that’s not what I meant.” By the time it’s said, the thing has been built, and changing it costs real money. So we move that sentence to the very start, where it costs nothing.

A mockup is every screen your people will touch, laid out with your real words, your real workflows and your real edge cases — the awkward client, the split shift, the invoice that needs a credit. You click through it on your phone and your laptop. You show it to the staff who’ll live in it. They tell us what’s wrong, and we fix it in an afternoon instead of a sprint.

Once it feels right, the mockup does three more jobs. It becomes the fixed-scope quote, because everyone can see exactly what’s included. It becomes the acceptance test, because “done” means it works like the mockup. And it becomes the first draft of your training material, because the screens don’t change on the way to launch.

  • Every screen, every state, every error message
  • Your data and your language, not lorem ipsum
  • Clickable on phone and desktop from day one
  • Reviewed with the people who will use it
  • Changes are cheap: hours, not weeks
  • Becomes the quote, the acceptance test and the manual
