Software products,
shaped around your work.

LUFF builds software products and adapts them to the way people work. We develop shared foundations rather than starting from scratch each time, and continue maintaining and extending what we deliver. Customers can run it themselves or work with another team.

What we’re building.

Useful products for different kinds of work. Explore what’s available, in development, and being tested.

A shared foundation.

Each product should be useful on its own. We’re developing reusable components and interfaces so new work can build on what came before.

Connect, without starting over.

Our direction is to connect tools through documented interfaces and adapters to existing standards, rather than require every team to adopt a new system.

Keep decisions with people.

Permissions should make clear who can act and what needs approval. Changing a tool or service provider should not mean giving up control of your work.

Build on working examples.

Flow’s web demo and native iPhone app work with the same orders and activity history. The broader cross-product foundation is still in development.

Working with LUFF.

Start with a product and adapt it to your needs. Deployment, maintenance, and new features keep it useful as your work changes.

Adapt and deploy.

Configure the workflow, connect the tools you use, and agree how the software will be deployed and operated.

Maintain and extend.

Keep the deployment running and add capabilities as requirements change. Reusable improvements become part of the foundation for future work.

Keep the ability to choose.

The delivered software, its included components, and operating documentation stay available to you under the agreed terms. Working with LUFF to operate or extend it is a choice, not a requirement.

Built to stay yours.

The freedom to build, connect, and leave should be practical for people who just want software that works.

We’re building toward excellent, independently useful apps with shared foundations: people and projects retain authority, tools can be replaced, and changing services preserves what matters.

The people behind LUFF.

LUFF was founded by Mike Liu, an engineer and entrepreneur whose work spans passkey wallets, onchain payments, and verifiable credentials. He previously led smart wallet engineering at a publicly traded fintech company. He built a blockchain-based credential verification platform from the ground up, now offered through Duke University’s registrar (opens in a new tab).
