// 🇨🇦 Built in Canada

Thoughtful software,
made by a small team.

A small software studio out of Ontario, Canada, building apps, tools, and automations from interface to infrastructure. The kind of software we'd actually use ourselves.

See What I'm Building Say Hello

Less noise.
Better software.

NorthStack started because we wanted to build things on our own terms. Software we'd actually use, built the way we think software should be built.

GOPulse started with our own frustrating GO commutes. It was frustrating enough to do something about it.

That's the approach. We care about how things work, from interface to infrastructure, and that standard applies to everything we build.

01

Build for Scale

No shortcuts. Everything is built for the long term, designed to scale, not just to work today.

02

Design Is Not Optional

Clear structure. Thoughtful interfaces. Details matter. Software should feel as good as it works.

03

Solve It, Don't Sell It

No growth hacks. No feature gates. No dark patterns. Build something useful, and let that do the talking.

Meet GOPulse

For anyone who rides GO regularly. No clutter, no menus to dig through. Just your trains, your station, and the stuff you actually care about.

Your train.
Your station.
Your alerts.

Open the app and your next departure is right there. Save your regular journeys and GOPulse handles the rest. It finds your closest station and shows you what's leaving next. Built in Ontario by people who actually ride GO.

Here's how
it works.

Everything you need for your commute. Nothing you don't.

Live Train Tracking

See your train on the map. Not a countdown, not an estimate. The actual train, moving in real time across all GO lines.

Smart Dashboard

Add the journeys you take regularly and GOPulse figures out where you are, finds your closest station, and shows what's leaving next.

Smart Reminders

Pick your arrival time, pick your days, add a buffer for getting to the station. You'll get a notification when it's time to head out.

Real-Time Alerts

Disruptions, delays, and modified trips show up right on your home screen. No more finding out once you get to the station.

Trip Planner

Going somewhere you don't usually go? Search any route and get schedules, options, and PRESTO fares all in one place.

Station Details

Parking availability, facilities, accessibility info, and platform details for every GO station in the network.
