About
Why these ten
Shopify retired a set of first-party retail tools and left working stores with holes in the middle of their day. These apps fill them.
The gap
When Stocky and similar tools were wound down, a lot of POS and inventory retailers were left doing purchase orders in a spreadsheet, counting stock on a clipboard, and re-keying serial numbers into a second system. The work did not go away. The tooling did.
The approach
Each app has a deliberately narrow scope. Narrow scope means fewer settings to get wrong, less surface area to break, and something a store manager can understand in an afternoon rather than a fortnight.
Everything gets tested against real hardware and real store data. Labels get printed on actual Avery, Dymo and Zebra stock and scanned with a real scanner. Documents get run through thermal and laser printers. A file that looks right on screen and wrong on paper is not finished.
The name
Recte is Latin for “rightly, correctly”. The mark is a set square — the tool that proves a corner is true. That is the whole idea: making the tedious back-office work simply come out right.
How we handle your data
We do not sell store data, we do not use it to train models, and we do not touch it beyond running the app and fixing faults you have reported. Every app publishes exactly what it accesses and why on its own policy page.
