Actively building — first app in development

Tools built for
developers & doers.

Ultara builds focused, high-quality native apps for developers, power users, and productivity-minded people who expect more from their software.

Our Philosophy

Software that respects your time, money, and intelligence.

There's too much mediocre software in the world. Bloated apps, dark patterns, subscription fees for things that need no server. We build the opposite: focused tools with a fair price and no games.

Native First

Real native code. SwiftUI on iOS. No web wrappers, no Electron, no compromises.

🎯

Focused Scope

Every app does one thing extremely well. No feature bloat, no kitchen-sink sprawl.

💰

Honest Pricing

Pay once, own it forever. We don't charge recurring fees for features that run on your hardware.

🔒

Privacy by Default

Your data stays on your device. No analytics, no tracking, no third-party data sharing.

What we're building.

We're starting with the tool we always wanted but couldn't find — and more developer-focused apps are on the way.

In Development

HomeLab Commander

iOS & iPadOS · Native SwiftUI

The homelab management app that should have existed years ago. Control your entire self-hosted stack — Proxmox, Portainer, TrueNAS, Pi-hole, Uptime Kuma, Home Assistant — from one beautiful native iOS app. No web views, no tab juggling, no compromises.

  • Real API integrations — not a glorified bookmark launcher
  • Native VM and container controls from your pocket
  • Live status dashboard across all services at once
  • Push notifications & lock screen widgets
  • All credentials stored in iOS Keychain — nothing leaves your device
  • One-time purchase · No subscription

iOS · Developer & Productivity

HomeLab Commander is the first of several focused developer and productivity tools we're building. We're solving real problems we encounter every day as developers — and we think you'll recognize them too.

  • Developer-focused tooling for iOS
  • Productivity apps for power users
  • Same native-first, honest-pricing philosophy

About Ultara

An independent studio in Evanston, IL.

Ultara LLC is an independent software company building native apps for developers and productivity-minded people. We're based in Evanston, Illinois — just north of Chicago.

We started because we kept running into the same frustration: tools built for the problem space we care about were either nonexistent, mediocre, or priced with subscriptions for features that don't need a server.

So we're building them ourselves — with the quality bar and pricing model we'd want as users.
