What we do

Charqe is a software company whose revenue comes from the products it builds. We work in three areas:

  • Mobile applications Everyday applications for iOS and Android. GymA
  • Web platforms Product sites, administration panels and data interfaces — all on the same data layer. Dormz Wort
  • Developer tools Plugins and utilities that make daily engineering work easier. doubleJ

How we work

When we start a product, the first artefact we produce is not a screen design but a stakeholder map: who is involved in this work, what information does each of them need, and who has not been accounted for yet?

We do this because an application never affects only the person using it. The workout an athlete logs matters to their coach; a student’s dorm application matters to their parents and to the dorm’s staff. So we bring every channel the application touches into the process from the start, make sure data reaches the right people, and treat the application broadly enough to serve every point it affects.

Stakeholder map

GymA one record
  • Athlete — today
  • Coach — next
  • Gym — next
Dormz one record
  • Student — today
  • Parent — today
  • Dorm owner — today
  • Staff — next

In practice this becomes four principles:

  1. A single source of truth. We never store the same record twice. Every party sees the same reality, limited to what their role permits.
  2. Every surface speaks its own language. Showing the same data does not mean showing the same screen. Nobody should have to learn someone else’s interface.
  3. Data responsibility comes first. Role-based access and data minimisation are the starting point of the architecture, not a layer added later.
  4. Shipping is not the end. We measure, correct, and grow the system as its scope widens.

Technology

We use React Native and Expo on mobile, Astro and TypeScript on the web, and Kotlin with the IntelliJ Platform for developer tooling. For data and identity we prefer managed services, and user data is hosted in the European Union region.

Data and privacy

We do not sell user data and we do not share it with third parties for advertising. A request to delete an account means permanent deletion. See our Privacy Policy for details.
