Software

A family of focused desktop tools

Each product solves one operational problem well. They share the same approach: a clear interface, careful defaults and your own data kept on your own equipment.

Availability: none of these products have been released yet. In development means it is being built. In testing means it is built and being checked.

Media automation

In development

Lines Media Sync

Compares a source drive with your existing media library and copies only the movies and TV shows you are missing into the right download folder, ready for your existing Tdarr, FileBot and Plex workflow.

  • Less manual checkingSee exactly what is missing instead of comparing folders by hand. Remakes and ambiguous matches are flagged for review, not guessed.
  • A careful, consistent importFiles are staged away from your watched folder, checked, then moved in without overwriting anything.
  • No repeat importsA permanent history stops the same title being copied twice.

Purchasing and order management

In development

Ledger

A purchasing ledger for any team that buys equipment. It organises orders, quotations, suppliers and purchasing records in one standalone Windows application, with no web server to run and room for your own name and logo.

  • Orders you can traceSuppliers, quotations and attached documents stay with each order, so you can see how every purchase was decided.
  • The three-quote rule, built inSee at a glance whether an order has the three quotes it needs. Approving with fewer needs a recorded reason.
  • Records when you need themExport monthly ledgers as PDF or CSV, and produce a quote request to send to suppliers.

Why Lines Dev

Software shaped by real AV and IT work.

Lines Dev Ltd builds specialist software products for the day-to-day problems of AV and IT operations. The tools are designed by someone who works with these systems.

  • Built around real workflows

    Each tool starts with a practical operational problem and the way people already work around it.

  • Straightforward to use

    Interfaces put clarity ahead of unnecessary complexity, so the next person to pick a tool up can find their way.

  • Local-first where appropriate

    Products run on your own equipment and keep your data there. Where a feature needs an internet connection, that is made clear.

  • Designed for handover

    Software that is practical to install, operate and maintain, with clear instructions for whoever takes it over.

Our approach

From a real problem to usable software.

Every product follows the same five steps.

  1. Understand the problem

    Start with the operational task and where it goes wrong today.

  2. Design a clear workflow

    Shape a practical sequence of steps that suits the people doing the work.

  3. Build and test

    Develop the solution and check it against realistic situations, including failures.

  4. Refine the detail

    Improve the interface and reliability until the workflow feels dependable.

  5. Deliver with instructions

    Provide usable software with clear instructions for installing and running it.
