Proof by product.
Krafter invests a significant share of its time in building its own software. Each product was born from a real problem, designed for real use, and run daily with real users. These are not tech showcases: they are living products, maintained, updated, growing.
Born at the studio. Run by the studio.
Our conviction
The best way to stay good is to never stop building.
When client work is all you do, you end up optimizing the way you deliver, not the way you design. You answer specs, you meet deadlines, you bill days. The risk is becoming a mere executor.
By building our own products, we keep facing the same decisions as our clients: what to prioritize when everything feels urgent, how to design an architecture that will still hold in two years, how to handle a critical bug on a Sunday morning, how to acquire and retain users. That experience feeds directly into the quality of what we ship on client work. And the other way around.
Melimelo · B2C mobile app
The whole household. Sorted. In one app.
Households juggle a dozen tools: an app for groceries, a spreadsheet for the budget, a shared calendar, screenshots for recipes. Melimelo brings everything into a single application, shared in real time by every member: one household equals one account, from the very first second.
- Users
- Thousands of active households, 4.8/5 on the App Store.
- Modules
- 25, all connected: groceries, meals, fridge, calendar, budget...
- AI
- Melia, an assistant that acts inside the modules instead of answering on the side.
- Model
- Freemium. Premium at €3.99/month for the whole household, not per member.
What Melimelo proves
A freemium model proven on the toughest market there is: B2C.
Melimelo grows organically, driven by acquisition on Instagram. On this market, no sales force can make up for an average experience: adoption rests entirely on product quality, onboarding and retention. It is the hardest training ground there is.
Every lesson paid for on Melimelo (a botched onboarding, a feature that drowns out the others, a load spike on a Sunday) is fed back into the products the studio builds for its clients. And for investors looking at Melimelo, this page serves as the introduction: Krafter is the studio that designs, builds and runs it.
As seen on BFM Business
Melimelo defended on national French television, on the BFM Business set. The reach of our products does not stop at their users: it carries the studio far beyond its market.
Conviction
“Running our own software is what keeps us from telling stories. When users complain on a Sunday because something is broken, you learn what reliable means. We owe that standard to our products as much as to our clients.”

FAQ
Interested in one of our products, or want your own? The first conversation is the same: 30 minutes to understand your context.
Tell us about your projectOur products and our dual model.
Because designing a product end to end and keeping it in production is the best way to stay technically sharp. The problems we face on our own software (scaling, critical bugs, architecture changes, user acquisition) make us better on client projects. Both activities feed each other.
Our products are proprietary software. They are built on FastEdgy, an open source technical foundation developed at Krafter. It is the same foundation as for client projects: the base is open source, the custom business layer belongs to the client.
Quite the opposite. Our products impose a discipline of continuous delivery, monitoring and code quality that we apply directly to client work. The studio is organized so both activities coexist without one encroaching on the other.
Melimelo is for individuals and households. Trottr is available for maintenance and field service companies. Smashr is open to SMBs and startups, with a free trial. Remastr is for IT refurbishing professionals. Kascade is used internally at Krafter for now. Each product has its own website with all the details.
Yes. Python, Flutter, Vue.js, PostgreSQL, Docker: the same technical building blocks we run in production on our own software and deploy for our clients. There is no “demo” stack and no “real” stack. Everything is in production.
