About Zaxco

Not a faceless agency.
Just one human
with big ideas.

Zaxco is a solo dev studio with 8+ years building mobile and web apps. The work is thoughtful, the timelines are honest, and the goal is always the same: build something that actually helps.

Founded by a queer, neurodivergent Latina engineer who got tired of software that wasn't built for people like her.

1
Flexibility over rigidityNot everyone works the same way. Our apps and our process make room for that.
2
Honest communicationReal timelines. Real estimates. If something's hard, we'll say so.
3
Diversity as a lensWe seek collaborators who value representation — not as a checkbox, but as craft.
4
No dark patterns. Ever.Just tools that work for the humans using them.

In the lab

Things we're actually building.

Active development
Doneish
A task app for people who hate task apps.

Built for executive dysfunction, ADHD brains, and anyone whose perfectly organized to-do list became a monument to guilt. Doneish meets you where you are — not where a productivity guru thinks you should be.

React Native Expo iOS + Android
Brewing
Whenish
Group scheduling that doesn't make everyone miserable.

Create a poll with a range of dates, send it to your people, and let Whenish figure out the best time for everyone. Participants set their general unavailability upfront — no more 47-message threads just to get brunch on the calendar.

How we think

Software should feel like it was made for you.

🧠

Designed for how people actually think

Not just the neurotypical default. If it works for ADHD and dyslexic brains, it works better for everyone.

🛠️

Honest craftsmanship

Real code. Real timelines. If something's hard, we'll say so — and figure it out together.

📱

Mobile-first mindset

Most people's first computer is their phone. We build experiences that don't feel like shrunken websites.

Accessibility isn't optional

Built in from the start, not bolted on at the end. Good accessibility is just good design.

🤝

Collaborate, don't dictate

The best products come from teams who actually talk to each other. We work with you, not at you.

Delight is not optional

Functional is the floor, not the ceiling. We push for moments of genuine joy in everything we build.

We're a small studio — you get a real person, not a form that disappears into the void. We especially love working with mission-driven teams, nonprofits, and founders who are building something that matters.

We love hearing from...

  • Founders building tools for underserved communities
  • Nonprofits who need tech that actually works
  • Teams who want an honest collaborator, not a yes-person
  • Anyone who's ever said "why is this app so bad?"
