About runsIT
runsIT is an independent Canadian software company that builds apps, games and business tools, and creates AI templates for people who want to build their own.
We make things you can use today: a deals app for iPhone, three games and an IT workspace for companies. Our AI templates share the foundations behind those products, so you can describe your own idea and follow step-by-step guidance to build it with an AI tool. No coding experience is needed to get started.

What runsIT does
Five products we build ourselves, and AI templates based on them.
iPhone app · ShoppingPulseDeals
PulseDeals is an iPhone app with a live feed of Amazon price drops, plus price context, saved deals and alert preferences.
It’s built for shoppers who want to spot a worthwhile discount without tracking prices by hand. Access is a subscription billed through Apple.
Mobile game · iOSThe Last Echo
On the App Store · Android coming soon
The Last Echo is an idle auto-battle RPG: your party keeps fighting while you’re away, and you choose the gear, skills and upgrades.
It’s built for players who like RPG decisions without constant check-ins. Odds are published, pity is visible, and free players can clear the core game.
Browser game · Free to playLocal Lore
Local Lore is a geography game played in your browser. You look at real Street View photos and drop a pin where you think each one was taken.
It’s built for people who want to know Toronto, New York City, Vancouver or London a little better, with three-round sets and a daily challenge for each city.
Roblox gameBuild Your Room
Build Your Room is a Roblox game where you design a bedroom that feels like you, collect furniture and visit your friends’ rooms.
It’s built for Roblox players who enjoy decorating and sharing what they make.
Business software · Company ITNeutronium
Neutronium is a workspace for company IT that brings employee onboarding, access and offboarding into one place.
It’s built for the people who set up new hires and manage who can use which tools. Keeping those steps together leaves a clear trail of access decisions.

What makes runsIT different
We make our own products
runsIT isn’t only a template shop. Our five products cover an iPhone app, an iOS game, a browser game, a Roblox game and business software for company IT, and each has its own page where you can see the work for yourself.
Templates that share our products’ foundations
Our AI templates share the foundations behind our products, so you aren’t starting from a blank page. Four of the six are paired with the product they’re based on, so you can see a finished example first:
Guidance past the first build
Each template covers setup, service connections, testing and upkeep, not only the first version, and includes a file of follow-up prompts for what to do next. Every order also includes 20 AI editing messages for refining your plan before you create your build guide.
Your tools and your accounts
You build with the AI tool you choose, on accounts you set up for hosting and other services. Follow guided manual steps or let a compatible AI control your computer; third-party costs are billed by those providers, not bundled into our price.
Founders you can look up
runsIT is run by three named co-founders, each with a portfolio page on this site. One address, info@runs-it.com, covers product support, template questions and custom template requests.

Pricing, terms and support differ by product and are published with each one:
Choose and use an AI template
- Choose one or more templates on the AI templates page and pay once through Stripe checkout.
- Save your private link, describe your idea and review the AI-generated plan. Refine it with your included editing messages.
- Create your build guide: one HTML file with simple steps, official resources, a detailed specification and a clickable prototype that uses sample data.
- Paste the prompt into your coding AI to build and test your app, following guided manual steps or letting a compatible AI control your computer.
Your purchase includes
- A build prompt, an AI overview and one complete build guide for each template
- 20 AI editing messages shared across your order
- Optional extras, if you keep them in your order: an app icon, an AI teamwork prompt or a skills and tools setup guide, each charged once
You supply or pay for separately
- Your idea, your decisions and time to test what your AI builds
- Your coding AI tool or subscription
- Hosting, domains and other third-party services, on your own accounts
- App store developer fees, if you publish a mobile app or game
A template is a guided starting point, not a managed development service: you and your AI tool build the app. If you’d like a hand launching a mobile app, mobile game, online store or browser game, you can request a separate quote for hosting or ongoing management from your template library. With a free-trial code, you can try a personalized plan with 3 AI edits before buying.
