Desktop tools that work

// CASE STUDY

How it actually works

We're not an agency with 50 developers. We're two people with laptops and an obsession with doing things right.

CASE #1 • Desktop Tool

PinDock: From frustration to flagship product

Problem: Opening the same 20 folders every day. Explorer is a nightmare, existing launchers either paid or abandoned.

Solution: 3 weeks of focused development. Adrian defines architecture, code is refined through iteration, Edyta breaks everything she can. Iterate, iterate, iterate.

Result: 1200+ daily uses (smart ranking doesn't lie). Stable release, 9 languages, EV code signing. BuddyIT's flagship.

Notes from the trenches

No corpo-speak. We write about what we do, how we do it, and why some things are harder than they look.

// WHY US

What makes us different

🎯

QA Lead Background

5 years breaking other people's software in gamedev. I know where the holes are before I make them.

🔐

EV Code Signing

Extended Validation certificate + YubiKey. Zero "unknown publisher", zero false positives.

⚡

Quality = Obsession

NASA-grade logging, circuit breakers, graceful degradation. Not "works on my machine".

// ABOUT US

Two people.
Zero corporate.

BuddyIT is a Polish company from Kraków. We specialize in desktop tools for Windows and Linux.

Adrian — dev, architecture, automation. 5 years as QA Lead in gamedev — knows how to break software, so knows how to build it. EV code signing, YubiKey security, product quality is not a feature — it's an obsession.

Edyta — QA, UI feedback, translations. Also from gamedev. Breaks everything Adrian builds. That's her superpower.
