Small team, no handoffs.
AuraByt was incorporated in Toronto in 2023. We keep it small on purpose — when you hire us, you're talking directly to the people writing the code.
A studio, not an agency.
We write code every day. We run our own SaaS. We bill fixed prices and tell you what things cost before work starts, not at invoice time.
Most of our clients are owner-operated — restaurants, tiffin services, contractors, clinics, early-stage founders. We size our process so decisions can happen in a phone call instead of a standing meeting.
The person quoting your project is the person writing the code, and the person who will answer the phone a year after launch.

Four things we won't compromise on.
Do the work
We write code every day. The person quoting your project is the person building it. No account managers in between.
Own what we build
We run our own SaaS, which means we understand what happens after launch — the uptime pages, the support tickets, the slow decay of a neglected codebase.
Say what things cost
Quotes are itemized. Timelines are realistic. Scope changes are flagged before the work starts, not at the invoice.
Work with small teams
Most of our clients are owner-operated. We size our process so decisions can be made in a phone call, not a standing meeting.
Three years, counting.
Painter's Crew and tiffin platforms
Shipped Painter's Crew for a GTA painting contractor and two tiffin-delivery builds (KhaoKhilao for the GTA, TruBites for India).
Internal products
Launched Stattraq — a free earnings calculator for GTA gig drivers — and FairSlice, an expense-splitting app. Started offering local LLM deployments for regulated clients.
First clients
Taking paid client work across the GTA. Settled on the tooling we still use: Next.js, Astro, Supabase, Postgres, Vercel.
Incorporated
AuraByt was incorporated in Ontario as a small development studio focused on websites and web apps for local businesses.
Have something that needs shipping?
One call. Thirty minutes. You leave with an honest read on scope, timeline, and price — whether we're the right fit or not.
