FEATURES

Black Hawthorn IT Suite

Two tools. One key. Everything you need in the field.

Hawthorn Probe scans your clients' networks for open ports, running services, and known vulnerabilities — and turns the results into a professional report you can deliver the same day. Built for MSPs who need to assess fast, document clearly, and move on to the next client.

Hawthorn NetTrace is your go-to tool for diagnosing DNS issues, validating email security configurations, and tracing network paths — all from a single interface. Run a full domain audit in minutes and export the results for your client or your records.

FEATURES

Black Hawthorn DojoBase

DojoBase is a complete dojo management system built for martial arts schools of all sizes — students, attendance, belt ranks, payments, inventory, events, and exams. All from a single fast interface that runs on your computer. Your data never leaves your machine.

FEATURES

The4Wheel Shop

Run your auto repair shop - customers, vehicles, estimates, invoices, parts, and payments in one app that lives on your computer.

Works when the internet doesn't.

English and Spanish.

Built for independent shops that are still writing tickets on paper, juggling spreadsheets, or paying $250–400 a month for cloud software that stops working when the internet goes down.

The4WheelShop gives you the full picture - who came in, what you did, what they paid, and what you actually earned, for less than most shops pay in a single month.

FEATURES

Black Hawthorn WealthBase

Know where you stand, and make sure your family does too. Track what you own and what you owe, learn the money basics nobody taught you, and keep everything your family would need in one private app on your computer. No monthly fees. No bank logins. No cloud.

Have any questions?

PRIVACY FIRST

Your data stays yours, always.

Black Hawthorn Ventures protects workspace activity, customer insights, and team data with clear controls, local storage, and transparent access boundaries. We build software the way we wish enterprise tools were built — simple, private, and yours to keep.

No Monthly Bills.

Buy most apps once and own them forever. Our shop software is one low yearly price, not a monthly bill. Either way, your data is always yours to keep and export.

Your Data Stays Local

Our desktop apps run on your machine. Your customer list, your finances, your student records, your network data: none of it lives on our servers.

Independent and Bootstrapped

No investors, no board, no pressure to monetize your data. We build what we want to exist — and we answer only to our customers
