6hours builds custom web and mobile apps for small and medium businesses. Senior European engineers working six timezones ahead of Toronto — under a Canadian contract, with Canadian accountability, at prices a local agency can't quote.
Toronto agencies quote $150k because Toronto engineers cost Toronto salaries. Offshore shops quote a third of that — and hand you timezone chaos and a contract you can't enforce. 6hours is built to give you the price of one and the safety of the other.
Our engineers are most of a workday ahead of you. Brief us in your morning meeting; review working software with your next coffee. Progress compounds overnight, every night.
You contract with a federally incorporated Canadian company under Ontario law, backed by professional liability and cyber insurance, with a Toronto principal you can meet for coffee. Your IP is assigned in writing. No offshore roulette.
Every engineer has shipped production apps for European firms for years — in English, remotely, on deadline. No juniors learning on your budget. Average experience: nine years.
The green window (your 9 a.m.–1 p.m.) is when we meet: standups, demos, decisions — held open by running our Skopje day late on purpose. Your Toronto account lead covers the rest of your business day. The rest of their day happens while yours hasn't started — which is why you wake up to progress, not to a status update asking what you meant.
Every build starts with a paid discovery sprint, so the fixed quote you get is one we'll stand behind — and the sprint fee is credited against your build.
All prices CAD. Payments are milestone-based: 40% to start, 40% mid-build, 20% at delivery — you never pay for software you haven't watched work. AI features (assistants, document automation, forecasting) scoped into any build at quote time.
You will never wonder what's happening with your money. The rhythm is fixed and you're inside it.
Two weeks. We map what you actually need, prototype it, and hand you a fixed quote. Walk away with the prototype either way.
A senior pod (2–3 engineers + tech lead) builds in weekly milestones. Scope changes are written change orders — never surprise invoices.
Every week you watch working software on a staging link, in the shared 9 a.m.–1 p.m. window. Feedback lands while it's cheap to act on.
We deploy, submit to stores, hand over everything — code, docs, credentials — and stay on via the care retainer if you want us.
Projects our engineers shipped for European firms over the last decade, shared with permission.

6hours is run from Toronto by [Founder name], a Canadian founder with a computer science degree and a decade in sales — and engineered from Skopje, North Macedonia, by a hand-picked bench of senior developers led by a CTO with ten years building iOS, Android, and web products for European companies.
Every engineer on the bench has worked remotely for EU firms, in English, for years. We staff each project with a pod of two or three plus the CTO as tech lead — never a rotating cast of strangers.
Geography, not juniors. Our engineers live in Skopje, where a senior developer earns a strong local salary that's still well below Toronto rates. We pass most of that difference to you and keep a healthy margin. Nothing about the quality is discounted — the same people spent the last decade building for European firms at European standards.
You do. Full IP assignment is written into every contract — from each engineer to us, from us to you — under Ontario law, including a moral-rights waiver. At final payment you hold everything: source code, designs, documentation, credentials.
Your morning through lunch (9 a.m.–1 p.m.) is our live shared window — standups and demos happen there, because we run our Skopje workday late by design. Your Toronto account lead is reachable across your whole business day. The rest of our workday runs while yours hasn't started, so feedback you give at 10 a.m. is usually built by the time you log on next morning. Clients describe it as the project moving while they sleep, because it literally does.
It's our default assumption. The discovery sprint exists so you never have to write a spec — we interview you about your business, prototype what we heard, and you correct a clickable mockup instead of a document. From then on you review working software weekly, in plain English.
You're protected three ways: a Canadian contract you can actually enforce, milestone payments so money and delivered software stay in step, and professional liability + cyber insurance behind the engagement. And you keep the prototype and all delivered work at every stage.
Tell us what's slowing your business down. If custom software is the wrong answer, we'll say so on the call — it's cheaper for both of us.
