Independent software · Perth, Western Australia
Stray Anchor is a founder-operated software company. We design, build and publish our own apps — for families running an NDIS plan, the support workers they pay, neighbourhoods at Halloween, and the shoebox of old photos — and we answer every support message ourselves.
Each app does one job well, is priced plainly, and stays in scope. Nothing here runs ads or sells what it learns about you.
The roster for families who hire their own support workers. Lay out the week, tell everyone who's on, and change it when the day changes. Workers get their own week across every family they work for, and it costs them nothing.
Self-managed NDIS without the admin tax. Invoices come in by email — PDF, photo, spreadsheet, or a link from Rounded, Hnry, Xero or QuickBooks — get read, staged in portal order, and tracked through to the day the money lands and your workers are paid. For participants managing their own plan, and families managing one.
Australia's Halloween house map. Find the decorated houses near you, see who's got the lights on tonight, and list your own so the neighbourhood knows to knock. Free for everyone, on the web and in the app stores.
Bring old photos back on your iPhone: repair damage, sharpen faces, add colour to black-and-white, take the glare off a framed print. Pay only for the photos you restore — no subscription, and five restorations free to start.
The company is small on purpose. That shapes what we build and how it's run.
No agency or client work. We make things, look after the people who use them, and keep each one's scope honest.
A price on the page, a real free trial, and nothing that stops working the day you stop paying — your data stays readable and exportable.
Built in Perth for Australian users. Data is held in Australian regions on AWS and Cloudflare, and never sold or shared.
Every message is read and answered by us, usually within one business day. There's no ticket queue between you and the person who can fix it.
Monday to Friday, 9am–5pm Perth time (AWST). We usually reply within one business day.
Partnerships, media, privacy and data questions, or anything you're not sure where to send.
