About us
The studio on a mission
to recover a million hours.
Swarm Labs is a UK software development studio. We design and build the applications, internal tools, APIs and automations that hand teams their hours back, then keep them running.
We are a Manchester-based software studio that designs and builds high-performance applications, SaaS platforms and APIs, then wires them into the tools businesses already run. Where a process is repetitive, we automate it. Where a team is bridging gaps between apps by hand, we build the software that closes them.
Everything we make is measured against one question: where are the hours going, and how much of that can we hand back? That is the mission the whole studio is built on, recovering a million hours of human effort and redeploying them into work that actually matters.
We also turn the best of what we build into our own products, from Scout and SwarmGen to Apiary and Time Hive, so the tools we rely on are ones we have proven in production first. We ship in slices, on mainstream technology our clients can own, and we stand behind what we run.
The mission
Recover 1 million hours
of human effort.
Every workflow we automate and every app we ship buys time back. We count every hour on the way to a million, and redeploy them into work that moves the needle.
How we work
Honest software that
does the work.
Measured in hours
A feature that impresses but saves nobody any time does not ship. We build the work that hands hours back, and we count them.
Shipped in slices
No six-month black box. We release value early and often, so you see working software in weeks and steer as it takes shape.
Yours to own
We build on mainstream, well-supported technology and hand over clean, documented code. No proprietary lock-in.
Run and improved
We host, monitor and keep improving what we build, so it stays fast and reliable long after launch.
