Abide Media Group
About us

Software that earns its place.

We're a small Australian studio that makes focused, well-built tools, and helps other businesses make theirs.

The name

Abide / əˈbaɪd /

verb

To remain. To endure. To do good work and stick around. Whatever we make, we make it to last.

Abide Media Group exists because most business software is built by people who've never run the kind of business they're selling to. The result: bloated tools that solve problems nobody really has, while the actual day-to-day grind goes ignored.

We build for the owner who's working the floor and the manager who needs an answer now, because that's who we've been. Our products come out of running real businesses, not whiteboarding imaginary ones.

The longer-term plan is a connected suite of practical business tools, and along the way, helping a small number of selected clients with custom website and app projects.

How we work

A few things we care about.

01

Practical over polished

Software should make the work easier. Pretty is nice. Useful is non-negotiable.

02

Built in Australia

We understand Australian award rates, payroll, and the realities of running a business here. No US-first defaults.

03

Flat pricing, no surprises

Per-user pricing is a tax on growth. Our products are flat-rate so customer growth doesn’t punish you.
