Know what’s in use.
A shared record of submitted applications, their purpose and who maintains them.
Keep track of the software
your employees build.
Who owns it? What does it access? What changed?
We’re developing DotSmall to help teams review employee-built applications and manage how they’re used.

The direction we’re building towardUseful software.
Useful software.
Someone accountable for it.
When an employee builds something the team relies on, the application needs an owner, a clear decision on access and a record of what happens next.
Make review easier.
Bring application details, requested access and reviewer questions into one process.
Keep changes visible.
Track versions and decisions so an approval stays tied to what was actually reviewed.
For individuals and organizationsShare what you build.
Share what you build.
Keep your team in control.
Simple application sharing for individual creators. A broader approach to ownership, review and management for organizations.
Publish and share browser applications.
Upload a self-contained browser app, share a stable link and update it later. Creators can also allow private forks.
Anyone can open a shared app without an account. Creator publishing is currently by invitation.
Review and manage applications across a team.
We’re developing organizational ownership, approval workflows and access controls, with broader application support for tools that need backends and connected data.
Enterprise capabilities are being developed through the pilot.

We’d like to work with IT and risk teams already dealing with employee-built software. Show us where the process gets stuck, and we’ll explore a pilot around that problem.
- An application your team wants to use
- A builder and someone who reviews it
- An outcome we can measure together
