We build apps that ship under someone else's logo.

A consumer app with millions of users rarely tells you who wrote it. Often, that's us. Shadow Software designs and builds consumer-facing applications for large companies, who then release them as their own, their brand on the icon, their name in the store, their roadmap on the box.

Our code
The architecture, the engineering, the hard parts, written by a senior team that builds at scale every day. We carry the technical risk so your team doesn't have to staff up to do it.
Your product
It ships under your name, in your store, on your roadmap. Your customers see your brand. We stay in the shadow, that's the deal, and it's the point.
Elite, behind the scenes
We are the engineering team called in when the product has to be exceptional and the company would rather own the result than the work of building it.
The idea

“Our code. Your product.” is the whole company in four words.

It is what the name Shadow Software means, and it is exactly what we do. We work in the shadow of your brand so your product stands in the light. You ship; we stay behind it, and stay on call.

Who we work with

Built for companies that ship at scale.

Our clients are large companies with real users, real scrutiny, and no room for a product that merely works. Engagements are white-label and NDA-bound by default, references available on request.

Company scale

Software built to hold up to the load, security, and audit standards that come with a large, scrutinized business.

Consumer-facing

The mobile and web apps at the front of the business, where polish is the product and millions of people are watching.

Released as their own

Every engagement is white-label. The result is the client's product, indistinguishable from one they built in-house.

We embed

We plug into your product, brand, and standards, building inside your constraints, not around them.

Senior team

The same engineers who hold our own money-and-auth systems to a correctness-first bar build yours.

You ship, we stay on call

It goes to market under your name. We stay in the shadow, and we don't disappear after launch.

Questions, answered.

What is Shadow Software?
Shadow Software is the trade name of Shadow Software LLC, a Florida software development firm founded in October 2019. Shadow Software builds the consumer-facing apps that larger companies ship under their own brand — our code, your product.
What does Shadow Software do?
Shadow Software builds consumer-facing applications that other companies ship under their own brand. We are the engineering team brought in behind the scenes to design and build the product; the client releases it as their own. That is what "Our code. Your product." means.
What does "Our code. Your product." mean?
It describes both who we are and how we work. We write the code; you ship the product. The software carries your brand, your app-store listing, and your roadmap, while the engineering is ours, working quietly behind it. It is also what the name Shadow Software means: we work in the shadow of your brand so your product stands in the light.
Who does Shadow Software build for?
We build for established companies that ship consumer software at scale and need senior engineering they can release as their own. Engagements are white-label and bound by NDA, so we do not publish client names; references are available to qualified prospects on request.
Do you put your name on the apps you build?
No. By design, the work ships as our client's own product, under their brand and on their stores. We stay behind the scenes.
How do I start a project with Shadow Software?
