Ship, don't slide
Working software beats perfect plans. We iterate fast and launch with confidence.
Creative code for useful digital things
PickleByte is the software and development side of ModBox — a Kendal studio that creates, designs, develops, and prints. Same team, same unit at Unit 2, Pickle Byte, different focus: we build apps, websites, PWAs, and custom platforms.
From festival directories and local business sites to full SaaS products like Operator One and TACOPS, we ship real work for real clients across Cumbria, Lancashire, and beyond.
Our approach matches ModBox's philosophy: listen first, design and develop a solution that fits, and skip the bloat. No unnecessary frameworks. No cookie-cutter templates passed off as custom.

Honest technology
We recommend what fits your project — not what's fashionable this quarter.
