App development in Montreal.
Kurchu Software Solutions builds French-first, bilingual iOS and Android apps for Montreal and Quebec businesses, working remotely from Lahore, Pakistan. Apps are designed around Quebec's Law 25 and the Charter of the French Language as amended by Bill 96, with privacy-protective defaults, French at least as prominent as English, and Interac and Moneris payments.

No — we are based in Lahore, Pakistan, and work with Montreal remotely. A 9:00–12:00 call in Montreal is 19:00–22:00 in Lahore in winter and 18:00–21:00 in summer. Project communication is in English; the app is planned French-first, and your team reviews the French copy in each test build before it reaches the stores.
With us, focused MVPs typically start in the mid five figures, while full platforms with several apps and an admin panel run into six. A French-first app adds professional translation, layouts that fit longer French strings and a second round of testing per release, and Law 25 adds a privacy impact assessment before data leaves Quebec. We list both in the CAD proposal so nothing arrives as a surprise.
Law 25 requires the most privacy-protective settings by default, clear consent for each purpose, a named person responsible for personal information, and a privacy impact assessment before personal data is transferred outside Quebec — which includes using cloud hosting or service providers elsewhere. We design the defaults and consent flows, and document data flows for your assessment. Legal sign-off stays with your counsel.
If you offer it to consumers in Quebec, yes: the Charter of the French Language, strengthened by Bill 96, requires French to be available and at least as prominent as any other language, including in the interface, contracts and customer communications. We design French-first layouts that fit longer French strings, then add English, and test both on real devices.
