Inside the products we build and run
Detailed looks at our own platforms — what they are, what they do and who they help.
Visitor Management
FrontDeskVisitor — the smart, safe way to check in visitors
FrontDeskVisitor is our complete visitor management system (VMS). It replaces paper logbooks with a secure digital platform that streamlines reception, boosts building security and keeps every site compliant.
Visitors sign in contact-free from their own phone or a reception tablet and receive an instant QR badge while hosts are alerted automatically. Contractors, employees, deliveries and parking are all handled in the same system — with key management, vehicle sign-out, badge printing and an always-accurate digital record for audits and emergency evacuations. GDPR-ready, multi-site, and live in about five minutes.
- Contactless QR check-in & badge printing
- Contractor, delivery & parking management
- Host alerts, pre-registration & approvals
- Emergency roll call & GDPR-ready records
Inventory Management
Stocktric — every asset accounted for
Stocktric is our all-in-one stock and equipment management platform — a single cloud dashboard to track items, monitor check-outs, see equipment locations and oversee maintenance in real time.
QR codes and barcode scanning give instant visibility into every asset. Staff reserve and check out equipment through approval workflows with due-date reminders and a complete audit trail. Preventive maintenance schedules, repair tickets, vehicle and fleet management, Excel import/export, usage and depreciation reports — plus a built-in AI assistant — keep inventory honest.
- QR/barcode tracking & location visibility
- Reservations, check-outs & reminders
- Maintenance scheduling & repair tickets
- Reports, Excel exports & AI assistant
Security Operations
Securitask — run an entire security operation from one dashboard
Securitask is our end-to-end security workforce management platform. Clients, sites, contracts, shift scheduling, time & attendance, patrols, check calls, incidents, compliance documents, payroll and invoicing — all in one connected system.
Drag-and-drop rosters publish instantly to guards on the Android and iOS apps. GPS-verified clock-ins turn approved hours straight into payroll runs and client invoices. NFC/QR patrol checkpoints, automated check-call alerts, incident logging and SIA document storage keep operations accountable and audit-ready.

- No signup or account needed
- Encrypted, auto-deleted after download or expiry
YOUNA (.you) — our own universal programming language
YOUNA is our own general-purpose programming language, designed and authored by our founder Muhammad Basharat and named after his father, Muhammad Younas. It is built on one idea: the developer describes what should happen, and YOUNA determines how to execute it efficiently and safely — one language for web, desktop, mobile, AI, images, video, audio, databases, networking, blockchain and systems programming.
Source files use the .you extension. Programs are checked by a static type checker before they run, then executed by any of three engines kept in enforced parity — the AST interpreter (the reference semantics), an IR evaluator, and a JavaScript code generator that runs at native speed (~27x faster on benchmark programs). A WASM subset backend exists too, and the compiler is self-hosting — a full YOUNA compiler written in YOUNA itself.
The language is modern throughout: static types with Option<T> and Result<T,E>, string interpolation, maps, try/catch/finally and throw, modules with a standard library written in YOUNA, and automatic parallelisation — the compiler proves loops safe and runs them in parallel, plus spawn, parallel for and real OS-thread workers. A capability-based security model means file, network and device access is only possible where the program declares permission.
YOUNA is not a toy: its runtime includes real image, audio and video codecs written from scratch (BMP, PPM, WAV, Y4M), n-dimensional tensors and neural-network model stacks for AI work, SQLite and a hand-implemented MySQL wire protocol for databases, a real HTTP server, 2D and 3D software renderers, and blockchain primitives with a proof-of-work ledger and ed25519 signatures. The full toolchain ships with it — formatter, debugger, LSP, REPL, watch mode, package manager and profiler — and one codebase builds to web, Windows, Linux and macOS executables, Android APKs and iOS/iPadOS apps. Zero dependencies, zero third-party APIs.
- Three engines + WASM — parity enforced by tests
- Static types, Option/Result, modules & std library
- Auto-parallel loops, async tasks & real threads
- Capability-based security model
- Media, AI, database, web, graphics & blockchain runtimes built in
- Builds to Web, Windows, Linux, macOS, Android & iOS
YOUNA GFX (.gfx) — our own visual-design language
YOUNA GFX is our second own language — also authored by Muhammad Basharat — and it takes on a different problem entirely: it is a declarative visual-design language, in our words "what CSS should have been". Where CSS styles documents, a .gfx file describes an entire visual scene — multi-layered 2D compositions, real 3D worlds, geographic maps and keyframe animation, all in one readable syntax, compiled and rendered by a single engine with zero dependencies.
One paint model drives everything — solid, gradient, radial, conic, checker, stripes and noise fills work on 2D shapes and as 3D material textures through mesh UVs. The 3D side is a real renderer: built-in and glTF-imported meshes, perspective cameras, PBR-style materials (albedo/metal/roughness/emissive), ambient, directional, point and spot lights with real shadow maps, distance fog and per-pixel Blinn-Phong shading — all running on our own CPU rasterizer with z-buffering and perspective-correct interpolation.
GFX goes further than any styling language: geographic map layers project lon/lat features through equirectangular, Mercator and ortho (a spinning globe view), with graticules, markers, routes, regions, labels, great-circle arcs, procedurally-generated hillshaded terrain and data-driven styling straight from CSV or GeoJSON files. Seventeen post-effects (bloom, vignette, chromatic aberration, grain and more), motion paths, text that rides a curve, and a real font engine rendering TrueType, OpenType and WOFF glyph outlines with ligatures and kerning are all built in.
Every image codec is implemented by hand — PNG, JPEG (baseline and progressive), BMP and GIF decode; PNG, APNG, animated GIF, SVG, glTF 3D, standalone HTML player and AVI/MJPEG video export — and rendered frames feed directly into our Teleport video codec. It also ships with GFX Studio, a live visual editor: edit the source, scrub the timeline, click shapes to select them, drag to move/scale/rotate, tweak keyframes and export GIFs — all synced back into the real source file.
- 2D layers + real 3D worlds + geographic maps in one file
- Keyframe animation on any property
- Shadow-mapped lights, fog & 17 post-effects
- Data-driven scenes from CSV & GeoJSON
- Hand-written image codecs & font engine
- GFX Studio live editor — feeds the Teleport codec
Software Ecosystem
Younasoft — one vision, an entire ecosystem
Younasoft is our deepest engineering work — a complete software ecosystem built from the metal up. Our own programming languages, our own video codec and file format, our own blockchain and our own operating system, each engineered to work with the others, with zero external dependencies.
YOUNA is our own programming language with multiple execution engines and build targets. YOUNA Teleport is our own coded video format — a full codec with DCT and motion estimation, Huffman and range-coded entropy stages, lossless and lossy modes, B-frames and rate control, plus its own audio codec, container format and UDP streaming with forward-error correction.
YounaCoin is our own blockchain: ~3-second block times, wallets with mnemonic recovery, tokens, HTLCs, multisig, on-chain governance, a name registry, an escrowed DEX and AMM liquidity pools. YOU is our own operating system — a real kernel targeting x86 and ARM64, built and verified with our own emulator test harnesses.
