Ideas from here. Products of your own.
Your location should be a place to build from. Caylem gives South African founders and software teams a working application to adapt for their next product, client or business problem.
What it is
Make more room for the useful work.
Why Caylem exists, in plain terms.
Good software can begin with a problem you see every day. A contractor rebuilding the same quote. A client asking for another progress update. An operations team keeping three versions of a spreadsheet. South African builders are close to problems worth solving.
We package this application itself. The pages, sign-in, checkout, purchased-source library and code browser come with their backend, shared components, emails and development tooling. Start with that source, then build the workflow your customers need.
Building from here also means choosing services you can use. The source is priced in rand, and the included Polar integration provides a route for eligible digital products with South African seller payouts. Account approval and product rules apply. That payment fit belongs in the plan from the start.
For an agency or established software team, the same source can become a common starting point for suitable client work. Reuse the components and development workflow. Put your experience into discovery, integrations and a product the client can maintain.
Lyemac maintains Caylem. A purchase covers the exact release shown at checkout. You keep the source and choose how to adapt it. Your own implementation, hosting, service accounts and maintenance remain part of the work.

Principles
What the foundation gives you
The handful of ideas every decision here comes back to.
The application itself
You get this web application at the selected release. The ZIP includes its source, setup guide and license; browse the purchased files in your library.
Room to start small
Try a focused UI in the lightweight app, or start with connected services when the project needs accounts, data, and purchases.
Documented for contributors
Repository instructions and focused skills give developers and coding agents an architecture map. Changes still need review and tests.
A consistent toolchain
Bun, Turborepo, strict TypeScript, and Biome give the applications and shared packages a common development workflow.
Connected product foundations
Clerk identity, Polar purchases, Convex data, and Resend email provide a starting integration path. Your product rules and service configuration are still yours to build.
Yours to own
Download the selected release, change the code, and keep using it under the included MIT license. Preserve the required notices.
Start building the thing you keep thinking about.
A product of your own. A better client delivery. A tool your team needs. Get the source in rand, follow the README and make your first useful change.
Choose one source release or unlimited updates while subscribed. Hosting and service usage are separate.
