Vol. I · A studio of four products

Quietly usefulsoftwarefor the awkward partsof digital life.

SaaSpero is a small studio. We build four products that handle the small, awkward, repeating moments — settling a bill, tracking down a package, sharing a screen without leaking the wrong window, or helping a customer see a finished job before it exists.

Preface · four principlesHow we build

We build the way we wish other software was built.

Quiet. Local. Honest about what it does. These four ideas settle every argument inside the studio.

  1. α

    Calm by default

    No streaks, no badges, no nudges to come back. Our products should be the last thing on your mind, not the first.

  2. β

    Local where it counts

    If your data can live on your device, it does. ScreenVeil has no telemetry. Tallyway syncs only what you share. Trexa tokenizes PII before any LLM call.

  3. γ

    Boring is fine

    We don’t reinvent the receipt, the tracking page, or the menu bar. We just make the version of it that you’d wish for at 9pm on a Tuesday.

  4. δ

    One product per problem

    Four products today. More on the bench. We add one only when an existing tool genuinely doesn’t fit — never to fill a roadmap slide.

Tallyway

Who owes what, handled.

A calm expense splitter for couples, roommates, and groups who go on trips. Snap a receipt, let the AI read it line by line, and let Tallyway do the arithmetic — including who paid in which currency.

Note 01
AI receipt scan
Photograph a check; items, totals, and tax are parsed and split automatically.
Note 02
Multi-currency, settle anywhere
Real exchange rates, per-trip currencies, and a clean ‘who owes whom’ summary.
Note 03
Export when you need to
PDF and Excel exports for trips, claims, or that one persistent friend.

Splitting money with people you like shouldn’t feel like accounting. Tallyway hides the math, keeps everyone on the same page, and never sends a passive-aggressive notification.

What it does6 capabilities
  • AI receipt scan

    Photograph any check — Tallyway extracts items, tax, tip, and assigns each line to the right person.

  • Voice context

    Add a quick voice note to a scan (“Mia didn’t have the wine”) — Tallyway redoes the split on the fly.

  • Multi-currency trips

    Mix EUR, JPY, and USD in one trip. Tallyway tracks the rate on the day and settles in your home currency.

  • Smart simplification

    Three friends, six checks, twelve payments? Tallyway proposes the minimum number of transfers to clear all debts.

  • Receipts that survive

    PDF and Excel exports per trip, per person, per category — for reimbursement, taxes, or your future memory.

  • Audit trail

    Every edit is logged: who changed what, when, and why. Nobody’s ‘I never agreed to that’ holds water.

We didn’t want to build another expense tracker. We wanted Sunday brunch to not turn into a Google Sheet.
— the Tallyway team
Built for4 kinds of people
  • Couples

    Quiet, ongoing ‘who paid this month’ — without a separate joint card.

  • Roommates

    Rent, groceries, utilities, the cat — split monthly without bookkeeping nights.

  • Trips

    Two weeks across four countries with five friends. One settle-up at the end.

  • Small teams

    Per diems, client lunches, and conference receipts — exportable for finance.

TrexaShopify app · post-purchase

Most of a customer’s memory of your store happens AFTER they buy: the wait, the tracking, the question they were too embarrassed to email. Trexa makes that part of the journey as good as the checkout.

What it does6 capabilities
  • Branded tracking page

    Live carrier events, your tone of voice, your colors. Lives at your-store.trexa.app and works on mobile and email.

  • AI assistant trained on your store

    Knows your policies, your shipping windows, your products. Tokenizes PII before any LLM call — your customer data never trains a model.

  • Self-serve returns + cancels

    Eligibility, photo uploads, Shopify-native refunds. Auto-approval rules when you’re ready. Cancellation modes from instant to assisted.

  • Quiet support inbox

    Conversations from chat, email, and theme widgets unify in one place. AI-drafted replies the founder still has to approve.

  • Proactive notifications

    Branded emails at every shipment milestone — postmark-delivered, with thread-correct Message-IDs.

  • Analytics that match reality

    Ticket deflection, return reasons, conversation sentiment. No vanity metrics, no dashboards you’ll never open.

We charge the brands. The customer just gets a tracking page that doesn’t insult them.
— the Trexa team
Built for4 kinds of people
  • DTC brands

    Replace ‘where is my order’ tickets with a tracking page customers actually love.

  • Subscription stores

    Recurring orders, recurring questions — handled by the assistant, not by you.

  • Print-on-demand

    Long lead times need great expectation-setting. Trexa does both.

  • Agencies

    Drop into client stores, theme-detect their branding, and ship the post-purchase rewrite in an afternoon.

Real-share guard
Protect apps by bundle ID. Hide, blur, or minimize them the moment a share starts.

ScreenVeilNative · macOS & Windows

Every screen share is a small act of trust — that you’ve closed the personal tab, hidden the Slack DM, killed the password manager. ScreenVeil takes that anxiety off your shoulders before you click Share.

What it does6 capabilities
  • Real-Share Guard

    Protect apps by bundle ID — Slack, Mail, Notion, 1Password. ScreenVeil hides, blurs, or minimizes them the moment a share begins.

  • Profiles per context

    Customer demos, interviews, livestreams, screen recordings — each gets its own protected app list. Switch from the menu bar.

  • ScreenCaptureKit-native

    Built on Apple’s official capture APIs — not a screenshot loop, not a kext. Predictable, fast, future-proof.

  • Panic key

    ⌘⇧. hides everything protected immediately. Sub-200ms response, even mid-call.

  • 100% local, 0% telemetry

    Nothing leaves your machine. No accounts, no analytics, no ‘crash reports’. Audit the network traffic — it’s empty.

  • Cross-platform

    macOS 14+ native, Windows 11 build in beta. Profiles roam between them via your iCloud/OneDrive.

If sharing your screen ever made your stomach drop, ScreenVeil was built for that moment.
— the ScreenVeil team
Built for4 kinds of people
  • Founders

    Doing a demo, then a board update, then a pitch — without ever showing the wrong DM.

  • Creators

    Streaming and tutorials. The pop-up that derailed your last video, eliminated.

  • Sales & CS

    Showing customer data on every call. Don’t leak the previous customer’s.

  • Engineers

    Pair-programming, code review, interviews. Hide local secrets the second you share.

BrightBidWeb app · field sales

Outdoor lighting is invisible at quote time. BrightBid turns one phone photo into the moment a homeowner can see the finished job, then carries that decision into a priced proposal they can accept before the contractor leaves the driveway.

What it does6 capabilities
  • AI day-to-night renders

    Upload a daytime property photo and generate a house-faithful dusk visualization with warm windows, uplights, path lights, and facade wash.

  • Lighting design controls

    Place and refine fixtures, tune warmth, choose lighting effects, and keep the design grounded in what the crew can actually install.

  • Good / Better / Best packages

    Present three consistent scopes side by side so homeowners can see what changes as the lighting package grows.

  • Automatic takeoff and pricing

    Turn the selected design into an editable bill of materials using the contractor’s saved fixtures, labor, and markup.

  • Branded proposals

    Send the render, scope, price, monthly estimate, and electronic acceptance in one homeowner-ready link.

  • Marketing from every job

    Export before-and-after reels, social posts, and shareable previews without rebuilding the story in another tool.

If the customer can’t picture it, don’t make them imagine it. Show them.
— the BrightBid team
Built for4 kinds of people
  • Lighting contractors

    Show the finished look while the homeowner is still standing beside you.

  • Owner-operators

    Replace the second visit and late-night quote with one field-ready workflow.

  • Design-build teams

    Keep the visualization, takeoff, proposal, and handoff tied to one property.

  • Homeowners

    See the lighting on your own home, compare options, and accept without guesswork.

Appendix · behind the indexAbout SaaSpero

A studio, not a platform.

SaaSpero started with one question: why is most software so loud? The pop-ups, the streaks, the friction designed to keep you coming back — none of it respected the small, real moments it claimed to help with.

So we made a studio. We pick boring, repeating problems — splitting a check, finding a package, sharing a screen, selling a lighting job someone can’t picture — and build the version we wish existed. One product per problem. No bundle, no ‘ecosystem play’, no hostage data.

We’re small on purpose. Each product has a tight team and ships when it’s actually good. Customer email lands in the same inbox as the founders. That’s the deal.

How we work

  1. 01

    We notice a friction

    Always a specific one. ‘Who paid for what?’ ‘Where’s my package?’ ‘Was Slack visible on that demo?’ ‘How do I show them the lighting before I install it?’

  2. 02

    We build the smallest tool that solves it

    If the answer is a calendar invite, a Notion page, or a Shopify setting — we don’t ship a product. We only ship when nothing else fits.

  3. 03

    We charge the people it helps

    No free-with-ads, no surveillance models, no ‘growth at all costs’. A fair price, a clear value, an inbox that answers back.

Marginalia · frequently askedSix questions

Quietly answered, one at a time.

What people usually ask before they buy, install, or email us. If yours isn’t here, it belongs in the form below.

  • Four separate products with four separate teams. They share a parent studio, a worldview, and an inbox — but each one stands on its own. You can use any one of them without ever touching the others.

  • On purpose. They handle different kinds of friction: settling money (Tallyway), tracking goods (Trexa), protecting attention (ScreenVeil), and showing a customer the job before it exists (BrightBid). The thread isn’t a category — it’s a posture. Small, repeating, awkward moments of digital life.

  • No. Each product has its own pricing and its own value. A bundle would mostly help us, not you — and it would push us to grow products we don’t believe in.

  • Each product stands on its own. ScreenVeil never leaves your machine. Tallyway stores only what you choose to share with a group. Trexa tokenizes PII before an LLM call. BrightBid processes job photos and proposal data only through the services its workflow needs. The details live in each product’s own privacy policy; none of them sell your data.

  • Founders and a small support team — same inbox, same week. If you email hello@saaspero.com you get a person within a business day, almost always less.

  • Quietly. We hire when a product needs the next person, not on a calendar. If you’ve built something small and useful and want to keep doing that, write to us anyway.
