Built by one person who got tired of paying for software.

yall my name is Michael. I build Stockyard.

I used to run a small operation that needed scheduling, invoicing, a contact list, and basic project tracking. Four separate SaaS products. Four monthly bills. Four logins. Four places where my data lived on someone else's server.

One day I did the math. I was paying over $150 a month for tools that each had maybe 3 features I actually used. And every one of them could have been a SQLite database and a web form.

So I built that.

To back it up, copy a folder. To move to a new computer, move that folder. If Stockyard disappears tomorrow, your data is still in a standard format that any spreadsheet program or database tool can open. Nothing locked away, nothing held hostage.

Why bundles? Because a therapist doesn't need the same tools as a minecraft server admin. Instead of selling you a bunch of tools you'll never use, I put together bundles for specific communities. Therapists get client records, invoicing, session notes, intake forms, and booking. A tattoo shop gets those plus waivers and a portfolio. A pickleball club gets reservations, tournament brackets, and check-ins.

Why self-hosted? Because your client list and your financial records shouldn't live on a startup's server that might get acquired, hacked, or shut down. Because you should be able to run your tools without an internet connection. Because you should keep what you pay for.

Why one person? Because small teams ship faster, charge less, and don't have investors pushing them to add enterprise features nobody asked for. I answer emails. I fix bugs. I don't have a sales team.

The code is public. You can read it, run it yourself, and audit what it does with your data. I'm not trying to lock you in. I'm trying to earn what you pay by building tools that are worth using.
