Custom software for everyone else
Websites and tools built for how your business actually works, run by people you can reach. Not a template, and not a dev shop you can’t afford.
Everyone deserves great custom software
For thirty years, real custom software belonged to companies with big budgets. Everyone else settled for templates built for the average user, not their actual business.
AI changed that. A small team can now build and run fully custom software for one local business in days, and handle all of it so the owner never has to.
Meet the founders
Three founders, and one platform that makes every site we ship sharper than the last. Each of us runs a local market, so there is always someone close by to call.

JD Conley
Tech
Two decades building software products, from early startups to platforms at scale. He leads product and engineering, and believes the custom software big companies take for granted should be within reach of the owner-operator down the street.

Alec Nickell
Design
A 0-to-1 product designer who has shaped app experiences used by millions, most recently as founding product designer at AfterHour and Alpha. He makes each Meanwhile business look like itself online, and sweats the details so every page feels clear and quick.

Tyler Stewart
Sales & Growth
Spent his career building growth engines for operators, including the investor-acquisition machine behind a 25,000-plus member network at RealCrowd. He leads how Meanwhile finds and takes care of the owners we work with.
