Own Your Software.
Own Your Business.

We believe small businesses and everyday people deserve tools they actually own — not rent. No subscriptions. No vendor lock-in. No one holding your data hostage. Just software that belongs to you.

We build technology that puts power back in your hands.

Every platform we create follows the same principles: you own it, you control it, and nobody can take it away.

I Build Tools.
Not Sales Funnels.

I'm Steward Clinton. I've been writing code for over 18 years, and I started MyBasic LLC because I was tired of watching small businesses get locked into software they don't own, platforms they can't control, and subscriptions that never end.

So I build the alternative. Every platform on this page was designed, coded, and shipped by me — right here in Marietta, Georgia. No venture capital. No investors. No sales team. Just software that works for the people using it.

Need a Hand?

I'm focused on building products, but I take on limited consulting for people who want to own their technology stack — not rent it.

App Strategy

Planning a web or mobile app? I'll help you choose the right stack, avoid vendor traps, and build something you control.

Growth Strategy

SEO, ads, and marketing audits. I'll show you what's working, what's wasting money, and how to own your audience.

Tech Independence

Audit your tech stack for vendor lock-in. I'll help you migrate to tools you own and reduce recurring costs.
