FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
Answers to what keeps coming up in first conversations. If your question is missing — ask us directly.
What is yourapps.studio and who is it for? +
yourapps.studio is a cloud application that lets you digitize and automate processes. Tools like Trello, Jira, Slack or Confluence are no longer needed. We primarily target construction and trade companies, midsized businesses with field teams, and companies with compliance requirements.
How fast can I get a custom app live? +
Typically less than 10 minutes for a first version — create fields, define a status workflow, set permissions. Complex apps with multiple workflows take 1-2 hours. Example SWE Consult: first productive app after 2 hours.
Is support included in the price? +
Yes. Support for questions or issues is included in the subscription, as are the help centre and documentation. Customer-specific extensions are not part of the subscription and are agreed separately.
Which operating systems does yourapps.studio support? +
Since yourapps.studio is a cloud application that works on all modern browsers and devices, you can access your data anywhere. The app is also PWA-capable — installable as an app on smartphone, tablet or desktop and works offline.
Which data formats can I import? +
You can import all important data formats — Excel (.xlsx), CSV, JSON, XML, Confluence exports, SQLite databases, etc. Our import wizard automatically detects tables and relationships and maps them in minutes. For complex migrations we are happy to help individually.
How does the yourapps.studio subscription work? +
You pay per user and month, in two seat types: Basis for everyone who works with the apps, and Pro for everyone who builds them and runs the organisation. Modules such as governance or QM are added on top. You try it for 14 days free of charge and without a means of payment; only once you take out the subscription is anything charged. Cancellable to the end of the billing period.
Where is my data stored? +
By default we host on servers in Germany (GDPR-compliant, ISO 27001). On request a self-hosting variant is possible — then yourapps.studio runs in your own infrastructure, on-premise or in your private cloud.
Can I export my data? +
Yes, anytime. With one click you can export all your data as CSV, JSON, Excel or XML. No vendor lock-in, no fine print. Your data belongs to you.
Does yourapps.studio work offline? +
Yes — properly. Unlike Notion/Airtable which only have a read cache, in yourapps.studio you can create, edit and change status on entries offline. Sync runs automatically on the next reconnect via RxDB-based push-pull replication.
How does permission management work? +
yourapps.studio has a deep permission model: per status (e.g. "In progress", "Approved") you define which roles can see or edit which fields. So a subcontractor only sees their tasks, accounting only the numbers, the site manager everything.
What can the Bob AI assistant do? +
Bob understands your requirements in natural language. He can create new apps ("Build me an app for material orders"), configure workflows, search data, generate reports — and respects your role permissions in doing so. Bob is included in every Business plan.
Does yourapps.studio replace my invoicing software? +
Yes. Quote, order, delivery note, invoice, credit note, dunning, VOB progress and final invoices, measurement sheets, e-invoice (ZUGFeRD/XRechnung), open items and bank reconciliation are included — as part of the Pro seats. What you keep is your accountant: they get the DATEV posting batch.
Is e-invoicing included? +
Every invoice and credit note is produced as PDF/A-3 with embedded EN 16931 XML (ZUGFeRD), or as XRechnung for public clients on request. The XML is validated against the schema before embedding.
Does my accountant get the data? +
Yes. The DATEV export produces the posting batch for invoices, credit notes, payments and incoming invoices of a period. Every row is stamped — a second export of the same period contains only what is new.
What if I already use lexoffice or sevDesk? +
Then you know the invoice — and probably miss measurement sheets, VOB progress billing, stock, packing lists and sourcing per job. Exactly that lives here in the same record as the invoice. You import contacts and articles via Excel/CSV; bookkeeping itself stays with your accountant via DATEV.
Is there an API for custom integrations? +
Yes. yourapps.studio has a REST API for all data objects and an SSE stream for real-time events. You can configure webhooks directly in workflows. Examples in the documentation.
How secure is our data? +
Multi-tenant via PostgreSQL schema-per-org (full isolation), encrypted credentials (Fernet), TLS everywhere, regular backups, ISO 27001 (in progress), SOC 2 Type II (in progress). Self-hosting available for critical-infrastructure requirements.
