Independent software products. Practical digital solutions.
Benum Labs is an independent software studio founded by Håvard L. Benum. We design and build our own digital products while also helping select clients solve practical technical problems. Whether creating a custom utility, automating a manual workflow, or developing a mobile app, we focus on engineering reliable, simple software that works.
What we build and ship
We design, develop, and maintain independent digital products with a strong emphasis on usability, performance, and clean architecture.

Advisory & Sparring
Alongside our own product development, we help select clients solve concrete problems, streamline work processes, and build realistic digital solutions.
Software Development
We write clean, reliable code to build what you actually need—whether that is a custom web tool, a prototype to test an idea, a mobile app, or a simple business system.
Practical Automation
We help you automate repetitive, manual tasks where the payoff is clear and immediate. We focus on simple, robust setups that save time without adding unnecessary complexity.
Sparring & Problem Solving
Direct, collaborative help to sort out technical questions, map user workflows, evaluate choices, and find the simplest path from a product idea to working software.
