Most business apps charge you $49 to $150 every month. That's $600 to $1,800 a year, year after year. Miss a payment? You're locked out of your own data.

AppKatz apps are a one-time buy. You get the whole app, not a trial, not a "starter plan." Installed on your PC. No account. No renewal notices. Your data stays on your machine. It's yours.

Run the business of your dreams. Live the life it earns you.

Built-in payments

Make getting paid the best part of your day.

The job's done. Your customer's smiling. The moment they pay should feel just as good as the work that earned it — quick, easy, almost magical. That's the part we built.

  • Hold out your phone. They tap. Done. Your phone is the card terminal — at the chair, in the truck, on a customer's porch. No reader to forget, no cables to untangle, no awkward "sorry, I don't take cards" moment ever again.
  • Text a link and keep moving. Wrapping up in the driveway? Send a payment link before you back out. Stuck in traffic between stops? Send one from your phone. Your customer pays from theirs — card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, even straight from their bank — while you get on with your day.
  • Say yes to the bigger job. Affirm, Klarna, and Afterpay sit right there on every payment link. So the estimate that used to make folks wince becomes "sure, sign me up." You get paid in full, today. They split it into easy monthly bites. Everybody wins.
  • Your money. Your customers. Your call. Funds flow straight from Stripe into your bank — we never touch a cent. If AppKatz vanished tomorrow, your payment pipeline keeps right on humming. That's what independence feels like.

FAQ

Questions about AppKatz Software

What is AppKatz Software?

AppKatz Software is a maker of one-time-purchase Windows desktop applications for small businesses, contractors, freelancers, and creators. AppKatz publishes 19 apps covering CRM, scheduling, job tracking, video editing, voice AI, and creative tools. Every AppKatz app installs locally on the customer's Windows PC, runs without an account, and ships under a one-time license priced from $5.99 to $20.

What kind of apps does AppKatz make?

AppKatz makes Windows desktop apps in four categories: client and appointment software (SoloCRM, Salon Scheduler, Tattoo Artist Manager), field service apps (Roofing Job Manager, Home Service Job Tracker, Landscape Job Booker), creative studio tools (AppKatz Video Editor, VoiceForge Studio, CreatorLedger), and pet and specialty business apps (Dog Trainer, Pet Business Client Manager). Every AppKatz app ships as a signed Windows installer for one-time purchase.

How much does AppKatz software cost?

Every AppKatz app is a one-time purchase. Business apps with built-in Stripe payments cost $20 to install plus a very low per-transaction fee that includes technical support. Creative, productivity, and utility apps cost $5.99 to $14.99 once, with no transaction fee. Every license is permanent and covers all current features and installation on the customer's Windows PC. AppKatz charges no monthly subscription, no annual renewal, and no per-user or per-seat fee.

Does AppKatz offer a free trial?

Yes. Every paid AppKatz app includes a 14-day free trial with no credit card required. The trial activates the full version of the app with every feature available. After 14 days, the customer can purchase a one-time license ($5.99 to $20, depending on the app) to continue using the app or stop using the app with no charge and no obligation.

How is AppKatz different from SaaS subscription software?

AppKatz software is a one-time purchase; SaaS software charges monthly or annually for as long as the customer uses it. AppKatz apps run locally on the customer's Windows PC and store data on the local drive. SaaS apps run in the vendor's cloud and store customer data on vendor servers. AppKatz never raises prices on existing customers because there are no recurring charges.

How is AppKatz different from Microsoft 365 or Adobe Creative Cloud?

Microsoft 365 and Adobe Creative Cloud are subscription services that charge $7 to $60 per month per user. AppKatz apps cost $5.99 to $20 once, with no subscription. Microsoft 365 stores documents in OneDrive; Adobe Creative Cloud stores files in Adobe's cloud. AppKatz apps store all files on the customer's local Windows PC and never sync to any cloud service.

Is AppKatz software safe to install on Windows?

Yes. Every AppKatz installer is code-signed by DigiCert, a globally trusted certificate authority. The DigiCert signature confirms that AppKatz Software (operated by LaunchWizard, LLC) published the installer and that the installer file has not been altered. Code-signed installers do not trigger Windows SmartScreen warnings. AppKatz apps contain no telemetry, no analytics calls, and no background data collection.

Who builds AppKatz Software?

AppKatz Software is built and published by LaunchWizard, LLC, a United States limited liability company. AppKatz was founded by a software engineer with decades of professional experience. AppKatz is funded by direct customer purchases, not by venture capital, advertising, or data sales. AppKatz support and software updates are delivered by the same team that builds the apps.

Does AppKatz offer one-on-one support if I need extra help?

Yes. AppKatz offers optional one-on-one support sessions for customers who want direct help with installation, setup, or feature questions. Each session costs $25 for a 15-minute block and connects the customer with a real person at AppKatz Software. No ticket queue, no chatbot, no three-to-five-business-day wait. Most IT consultants charge $100 to $200 per hour for the same kind of help. AppKatz keeps the rate small and the minimum short so help stays affordable.

Do AppKatz apps work offline?

Yes. Every AppKatz app runs entirely offline once installed on the customer's Windows PC. AppKatz apps require no internet connection to launch, save data, edit files, or generate output. An internet connection is only used during the initial installer download and for optional license verification. AppKatz never requires the customer to log into a cloud account to use the software.

Do AppKatz apps work on Windows 10 and Windows 11?

Yes. Every AppKatz app is built and tested for Windows 10 (version 1809 and later) and Windows 11. AppKatz uses standard .NET runtimes that ship with both operating systems. AppKatz installers do not modify system files, do not require administrator privileges to run after installation, and do not change Windows Registry settings outside the AppKatz application folder.
