Designed by designers, for designers
Save time on administration so you can spend time on what matters most to you.
"We built the tool we always wished existed."
Why Mayline exists
Architecture firms run on a unique combination of creative work and precise project management. Phases, billing rates, specification schedules, staffing lookaheads, contract management — the administrative layer of running a firm is substantial, and most software treats it as an afterthought.
Mayline was born inside a working architecture and interiors practice. We spent years wrestling with generic project management tools, disconnected spreadsheets, and software built for industries that don't share our vocabulary.
So we built our own. Mayline is the platform we always wished existed: one that understands phases, knows what a finish schedule is, speaks in billing rates, and respects the way architects and designers actually think and work.
Our goal is simple — give your team back the hours lost to administration, so you can spend them on design.
What we believe
Built from practice
Mayline was created inside a working architecture firm — not a software lab. Every feature exists because we needed it ourselves.
Respect for your time
Administration should take minutes, not hours. We obsess over reducing friction so you can get back to design.
Clarity over complexity
We believe good software, like good architecture, should be immediately legible. No 40-hour onboarding. No feature bloat.
Designed with intention
From the typography to the data model, every decision in Mayline reflects how architecture firms actually work.
About the name
A mayline — or parallel rule — is the drafting tool architects used for decades to draw precise, parallel lines across a drawing board. It represents the kind of quiet, reliable precision that makes complex work possible.
That's what we aim to be: the steady, precise tool in the background that makes your firm run smoothly.
