Product launches
From idea to live product: scoping the first version, building it, hosting it and getting it in front of real users without cutting corners.
Software studio · United Kingdom
Clever software for real work.
Amber Fox Labs is an independent UK software studio. We take ideas from first sketch to launched product, from apps and websites to interfaces, AI tools and the cloud systems behind them. Our own product, RotaHero, is built the same way.

Our product
RotaHero
Rota and staff hours software for UK shift-based small businesses: cafés, studios, salons and anyone who plans the week in a spreadsheet today.
- Build the week's rota in minutes, with UK working-time regulations built in: rest breaks, weekly hours and night work checked as you plan
- Staff see their shifts and ask for time off from their phone
- Secure by design and built to industry standards, so your team's data is protected
Contracting
Borrow the lab for your project.
The same care that goes into RotaHero, applied to your problem. Short engagements or longer partnerships, remote across the UK.
Web & mobile apps
Apps that install on a phone and keep working on a patchy connection, with secure sign-in and data that stays in step across devices.
AI tool implementation
Assistants, document workflows and internal tools wired into the systems you already use, with guardrails, testing and a clear cost per task.
Websites, built
Fast, accessible sites on modern hosting. Static where it can be, dynamic where it must be, and fully yours at handover.
Software architecture
Data models, sync, sign-in and cloud costs reasoned out before code is written, then written down so your team can follow.
Web & product design
Calm interfaces that work on a phone first, from the first wireframe to a finished design system your developers can build from.
How we work
No surprises, everything written down.
-
01
A first conversation
We talk through the problem, not the tech. You leave the call knowing whether we're a good fit.
-
02
A plan on one page
Scope, price and milestones agreed in writing before any work starts.
-
03
Built in the open
Regular demos, a shared task board, and code, docs and access handed over at the end.
