Apps that are already working.

A software portfolio is usually a page of screenshots. Not this one: every app on this page is live, and you can open it today. All of them were designed, built and are maintained by AVILA®, the Monterrey technology company that has been building custom software and web apps since 2003. Some are AVILA® products, others we built for sister companies in AVILAPRO Group, and others are personal projects of our founder, Jorge Avila Meléndez, which we use as a lab to test ideas before bringing them to client projects. For each one, we note who owns it.

They all share the same way of working: a clear scope, a design built with mobile in mind, security and personal data protection from day one, Spanish and English versions when needed, and data ready for search engines and AI assistants. The same approach is behind WebLayer, AVILA®'s own website engine, which runs this site and which we also offer for your organization's website.

Back to Zero: the app that keeps your team selling

Owner: AVILA®. Back to Zero counts the days without a sale for the company, for each sales rep and for each category; every sale resets the counter to zero. Every morning it emails the team the scoreboard, the monthly recurring revenue target and who closed. It includes forecasts based on the pace of the last 90 days, sales postcards, promotions with their own page per rep, commissions and collections, roles, and a feature that generates prospecting prompts for AI assistants. It doesn't replace your CRM: it works alongside it. It is our first in-house SaaS product (2026) and has a free plan for small teams. Learn more about Back to Zero.

Secrets: share passwords with a self-destructing link

Owner: AVILA®. Secrets lets you send a password or other sensitive data without leaving it sitting in a chat or an email. The text is encrypted in your browser with AES-256-GCM before it's sent, and the key travels inside the link itself, in the part the browser never sends to the server: not even we can read it. The link is deleted when it's opened or when it expires (from 5 minutes to 7 days), can carry a PIN and can be revoked before anyone opens it. It's free and doesn't require an account. We offer it as a tool for clients.

Transfers: send files with a link that expires

Owner: AVILA®. Transfers is the portal AVILAPRO Group companies and their clients use to send and receive files. Each transfer gets a unique link, an optional password and an expiration date; recipients don't need an account. You can also request files from outside parties, get notified when someone downloads, and the files are deleted when the link expires. Each company's administrator can see who sent what to whom, without being able to open anyone else's files. Accounts are by invitation: see tools for clients.

3es.mx: branded short links

Owner: tresensocial. 3es.mx is the link shortener we built for our sister company tresensocial, which offers it to the public. It turns a long link into a short one under your username, redirects straight through with no interstitial pages, counts every click and explains the stats in plain language; it also gives each user a page with all their links. tresensocial owns it, and AVILA® develops and hosts it. Learn more about 3es.mx.

Prisma: a YouTube feed for every topic

Owner: Jorge Avila Meléndez (personal project). Prisma groups YouTube channels into topic feeds and gives each one a priority from P1 to P5. From that, it builds a queue of recent videos, from most to least important, and remembers what you've watched: it marks a video as watched once you reach 90% and picks up where you left off. It doesn't ask for access to your YouTube account: it only reads each channel's public information and plays videos with the official player. It offers public and private feeds, notes pinned to a specific minute of a video, and a TV mode you open with a QR code.

PPR: the guide and the simulator

Owner: Jorge Avila Meléndez (personal financial education project). PPR explains Mexico's Personal Retirement Plan (Plan Personal de Retiro) in plain language and includes a simulator that estimates how much a person could save by age 65, factoring in contributions, tax benefits, fees and inflation, and compares alternatives. Everything is calculated in the browser: there's no database and no sign-up. It is educational content, not financial advice.

Viernes de Invertir: investing every week, as a habit

Owner: Jorge Avila Meléndez (personal financial education project). Viernes de Invertir ("Investing Fridays") is a public exercise: every week a small purchase of U.S. company stocks is made and published with its proof, to show the long-term effect of habit and compound interest. It includes beginner guides, a glossary and an email alert for each purchase. It is not financial advice and does not manage anyone else's money.

Jueves de Satoshi: the power of steady buying

Owner: Jorge Avila Meléndez (personal financial education project). Jueves de Satoshi ("Satoshi Thursdays") is a public log of a weekly bitcoin purchase, regardless of price, with a dashboard of accumulated holdings and returns by year. It is also open-source software under the MIT license: anyone can install it on their own hosting in a few minutes and choose whether their log is public, semi-private or private. It is not financial advice.

What did we learn building them?

• Simple wins. The most-used apps solve one thing really well: counting days without a sale, sending a secret, shortening a link.

• Security is a product feature. For Secrets and Transfers, user trust is the reason they exist; that's why encryption, expiration and audit logs are designed in from day one.

• Bilingual from the start. Several of these apps launched in Spanish and English; adding a language later always costs more.

• Ready for search engines and AI. Structured data, clear copy and fast pages help both people and AI assistants find them. That's what we offer with technical SEO and LLM optimization.

• Our own products make for better projects. Running our own products forces us to think about what it costs to maintain them, and that improves every custom system we build for clients.
