Software,
built properly.
Block builds software for the people who spend their whole working day inside it. BookMeIn handles booking and deposits for businesses built on appointments. MyPortal is a management information system for UK schools. Both are quick to use, precise about who can see what, and hosted wherever your data belongs.

Why we build it
People deserve better than
the software they have.
Built for a different decade
Most of the systems people run their working day on were designed before the smartphone and extended ever since. Staff pay for that every day, in clicks.
Your data, just out of reach
Getting a straight answer out of your own system should be something you can do yourself, in minutes, without raising a ticket and waiting.
Permissions bolted on late
The records that matter most — a safeguarding note, a client consent form, a photo ID — need access control designed in from the first line of code.
One record
One system, not four
Whether it is a pupil or a client, everything hangs off a single record: history, notes, consents, documents and billing. Nobody should have to reconcile three systems to answer one question while somebody is waiting at the desk.
- Full history, kept rather than archived away
- Consents and documents on the record itself
- Every change attributed and time-stamped
The working day
Fast where it has to be fast
A register is taken in the first ninety seconds of a lesson. A client is booked in while they are still standing at the counter. We design the interface around those moments, not around a database schema.
- Keyboard-first where speed matters
- Works on whatever device is to hand
- Validated as you type, not after you save
Openness
Answers without a data team
The questions leadership asks rarely arrive in the shape of a built-in report. Both products expose the same documented API their own interfaces use, so your data is available for reporting, dashboards and integrations.
- Documented REST API over every module
- Full export in a documented schema
- Available whenever you want it, at no charge
Platform
Engineered like infrastructure,
because that is what it is.
Hosted where you want it
Run in our UK cloud or inside your own tenancy. The deployment model is a decision for you and your DPO, and both are supported equally.
API-first, throughout
The web interface is a client of the same documented API you can use. Anything the product can do, your integrations can do.
Genuinely modular
Each module stands on its own and contributes to a coherent whole, so the parts you do not use never get in the way of the parts you do.
A real migration path
Bringing across history from whatever you are on now is planned work with a named owner, rehearsed in full before it happens for real.
Security
You are handing us data about other people.
A pupil's safeguarding record and a client's consent form are not ours, and they are not yours either — they belong to the person they describe. Access control, auditing and the boundaries around sensitive records are part of the architecture rather than a settings screen.
How we handle your data- Role-based permissions enforced at the API, not just hidden in the interface
- Full audit trail on every read and write of the records that matter
- OAuth 2.0 / OpenID Connect, so it fits the identity provider you already run
- The most sensitive records visible only to the people who should see them
Team
You will talk to the person
who builds it.
There is no support tier standing between you and the code. That is the whole advantage of being this size, and it is the part we intend to keep as we grow.
