Software studio.
Products that ship.

Nullpointer Labs is an independent software studio. We design, build and operate mobile and web applications end to end — and we put our own name on the result. Two of our products are already in the stores, used by landlords in three countries and by reef keepers around the world.

// 01 — our apps

Two products, live and looked after.

Most studios show you a portfolio of things they handed over. These two are ours: we designed them, built them, shipped them to the App Store and Google Play, and we still run them. Everything we know about building software, we learned by having to keep these working.

Nebenkosten App icon

Nebenkosten App

Property & rental · DE / AT / CH

Utility cost statements are a yearly headache for anyone renting out property in the German-speaking world: dozens of cost items, distribution keys, meter readings, advance payments — and a tenant who is legally entitled to check every line. The Nebenkosten App walks landlords through it step by step and produces a professional PDF that holds up.

  • Guided flow: tenants, billing period, distribution keys, cost items, meters
  • Built around § 556 BGB, the Austrian MRG and Swiss practice, incl. CO₂ cost split
  • AI check for completeness and plausibility before the PDF is generated
  • Single flats, apartment buildings and commercial units side by side
  • Cloud sync, read-only archive and GDPR-compliant export of your own data
Nebenkosten App: the checklist of a statement with all nine steps completed
Reef Lab app icon

Reef Lab

Saltwater aquariums · voice & AI

A reef tank is a chemistry experiment you have to keep alive. Reef Lab is a logbook built for exactly that — not a freshwater app with a saltwater mode bolted on. Water parameters, dosing, maintenance, livestock and what the whole thing actually costs, in one place, offline first.

  • Say it instead of typing: “KH is 8.2” is logged as a measurement, on the right tank
  • An AI chat that knows your volume, latest readings, livestock and dosing
  • Charts and traffic-light zones for KH, Ca, Mg, NO₃, PO₄, pH and salinity
  • Dosing heads with full history, maintenance templates, photo diary
  • Inventory with prices, shops and currencies — so you know the real cost

// 02 — what we build

The whole thing, not a slice of it.

We are not a body shop that plugs a developer into someone else's backlog. We take a product from the first sketch to a listing in the stores and keep it running afterwards — which means the same people are responsible for the decisions and for living with them.

Mobile apps

iOS and Android from one React Native and Expo codebase — native modules where it matters, one product where it doesn't. Including signing, store assets and release builds.

Web apps & landing pages

Full-stack web applications and fast, static marketing sites on Cloudflare. Progressive web apps that share their code with the mobile build instead of duplicating it.

AI where it earns its keep

Voice input that files itself in the right place, document and receipt understanding, plausibility checks, chat assistants with real context. Used to remove work, not as a sticker on the box.

Cloud & infrastructure

Firebase, Cloudflare Workers, Docker and small, boring servers that stay up. Sync queues, offline-first data, quota guards — the parts users never see and always feel.

Documents that must be right

Generated PDFs with legal weight: statements, reports, exports. Rounding, distribution keys and edge cases that have to survive being checked by someone who disagrees with them.

Localisation & launch

German and English throughout, country-specific rules and formats, store listings, screenshots and the unglamorous review process — done properly, so launch day is uneventful.

// 03 — how we work

Four steps, no theatre.

Small studio, short path. You talk to the people writing the code, and you see something running early enough that changing your mind is still cheap.

01

Scope

One conversation about what the thing actually has to do, and an honest answer on what it will cost — including when the answer is that you shouldn't build it.

02

Prototype

A running version of the risky part first, not a slide deck. If something is going to be hard, we would rather find out in week two than in month five.

03

Build

Short cycles, a build on your own device the whole way through, and a codebase that another developer could pick up — because one day one will.

04

Ship & run

Store submission, review, release. Then monitoring, updates and the quiet maintenance that decides whether a product is still alive in two years.

// 05 — company

Small on purpose.

Nullpointer Labs LLC is an independent software studio registered in Sheridan, Wyoming, working remotely with people in Europe and the Middle East. We are deliberately small: no account layer, no handover to a team you never met, no estimate written by someone who will not have to build it.

What we bring is the full arc of shipping a product — architecture, interface, infrastructure, the compliance details, the store review, and the years afterwards where it has to keep working. Our own apps are the proof that we do all of it, not just the enjoyable middle part.

We work in German and English, and our products are localised for Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the United States and the UAE.

Frequently asked

What does Nullpointer Labs do?

Nullpointer Labs is an independent software studio. We design, build and operate mobile and web applications end to end — from the first prototype through to the App Store and Google Play listing — and we publish our own apps alongside client work.

Which apps has Nullpointer Labs released?

Two products are live today. The Nebenkosten App creates utility cost statements for landlords in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Reef Lab is a logbook for saltwater and reef aquariums with voice input and AI support. Both run on iOS, Android and in the browser.

Do you build for both iOS and Android?

Yes. We build from a single React Native and Expo codebase that ships to iOS, Android and the web, which keeps one product consistent across all three platforms instead of maintaining three separate apps.

Does Nullpointer Labs take on client projects?

Yes. We take on a small number of projects at a time, usually a complete product rather than staff augmentation: scope, prototype, build, store launch and ongoing operation. Write to hello@nullpointer.uk with a short description and we will tell you honestly whether we are the right fit.

Where is Nullpointer Labs based?

Nullpointer Labs LLC is registered in Sheridan, Wyoming, United States, and works remotely with clients in Europe and the Middle East. Our products are localised for Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the United States and the UAE.

Got something you want built?

Tell us what it should do and who it is for. A couple of sentences is enough to start — you will get a real answer from the person who would build it, including an honest “this isn't for us” when that is the truth.
