Simple software.
Useful by design.

Clear Built is an independent software studio building simple, focused applications and tools — for people and businesses alike. Based in Reading, UK.

// about

Clear Built is a one-person software studio — Shasikkumar Veeramani (a.k.a Shas), an independent full-stack programmer and builder based in Reading, UK.

Across business and consumer software alike: most tools try to do too much. They add features when they should subtract. Consumers and small businesses use bloated enterprise-y software.

Clear Built is my vehicle to try and build software that is simple and utility focused.

Principles

Simple over clever

Software should shrink to fit the problem, not expand to justify itself.

Open where possible

What you see is what you get. No roadmap bait, no data games. Open source by default.

Honest constraints

Solo, bootstrapped, no outside money. These aren't limitations to apologise for.

Values

Honest pricing

Decent trial period, fair subscription. Happy to serve long-term customers but not through forced lock-ins.

Choose small and ethical

Wherever I spend money — hosting, tools, services — I choose small, independent, ethical businesses where I can.

Built to last

If I build it, I intend to stand behind it.
