Built, then parked?
Apps, libraries, internal tools and retired products are all worth describing. Tell us what works and what needs attention.
For the people who built it
Sell your codebase. Keep your next chapter open.
That app, internal tool or software project could still have more to give.
Goodwattle buys and licenses selected codebases. Tell us what you own and what it does. We’ll explore whether there’s a fit, then put any offer and its terms in writing.

Good work has more to give
Good code doesn’t need a growing business attached.
You may have moved on from the product. The software, documentation and development work can still be worth a conversation.
More than the latest commit
Build instructions, tests and useful development history help us understand the work behind your code.
A sale or a scoped licence
A purchase may suit one project; a licence with retained ownership may suit another. We agree the rights and payment before handover.
A good place to start
Sounds like
your kind of work?
Tell us what it does, the language or framework, and whether it still runs.
- An original app, tool or software project
- A clear picture of who owns the code
- A short description of its purpose and current state
A description is plenty for the first step. Please leave out private code, passwords and personal data.

Tell us about it
A short appraisal covers your project and how to reach you. A link or small, non-confidential sample is optional.

Consider an offer
If there’s a fit, we put the scope, rights, intended uses and payment in writing. You decide whether to proceed.
A purchase. A licence. A possibility.
A purchase can transfer agreed rights. A licence can let you keep ownership while permitting specific uses, including AI research, training or evaluation. We can discuss a fixed payment, revenue share or ongoing arrangement where suitable. Nothing is sold or licensed by sending an enquiry.
Before you say g’day
Good questions.
A little clarity
goes a long way.
Does my codebase need customers or revenue?
You can submit a project without customers or revenue. We review the codebase and associated materials for their quality, rights and fit; commercial traction is not the only consideration.
Will I have to hand over my whole repository?
Not to start. A non-confidential description is enough. If we go further, we agree confidentiality, the review process and exactly which materials are included.
What if the project contains open-source dependencies?
Mention the dependencies and any code you do not own. We need to understand what you can offer and which third-party materials or restrictions need to be excluded or addressed.
What happens after I enquire?
We review your overview and follow up by email. If there is a fit, we discuss confidentiality and any detailed review, then propose the materials, rights, permitted uses and payment in writing. An enquiry is not a commitment to sell or license.
How much could my work be worth?
It depends on the quality, scope, rights and fit of the materials. This is a personal review, not an instant valuation. Not every project receives an offer, and any amount and payment timing are agreed in writing.
What will the materials be used for?
Agreed uses can include AI research, training and evaluation. The agreement sets out the permitted uses and any further licensing before handover. Your initial enquiry does not grant a licence.
