About Us
Industrial-Grade Tools for Shopify
We build Shopify apps the way we wish everyone did. No bloat, no surprises, no code left behind. Just tools that work.
The Story
Fire Burns Up Inc. is the creative engine. Raw heat. Ideas forged in late-night coding sessions and frustration with the status quo.
Tempered Tools is what remains after that heat has been applied to raw materials. We are the hardened, cooled, structural steel of the Shopify ecosystem.
We started Tempered Tools because we were tired of installing Shopify apps that left orphaned code in our themes. Tired of hidden fees that appeared after we'd already integrated an app. Tired of “lightweight” widgets that loaded 500kb of JavaScript.
So we built the apps we wished existed. Apps that clean up after themselves. Apps with pricing you can understand before you install. Apps with storefront code that respects your performance budgets.
Our Values
These aren't marketing buzzwords. They're the standards we hold ourselves to with every line of code.
Clean Uninstall
Every app we build removes 100% of its code when uninstalled. No exceptions.
Transparent Pricing
No hidden fees. No surprise charges. What you see is what you pay.
Performance First
Every storefront script is built with strict bundle size budgets.
Open Source
Our headless packages are MIT licensed. Inspect, fork, contribute.
Our Approach
We don't build “flashy” marketing apps. We build infrastructure. The kind of tools that serious merchants and headless developers rely on.
Every feature we add goes through the same filter: Does it make the app more useful without making it slower? Does it respect the merchant's store? Can we remove it cleanly if they uninstall?
We follow Shopify best practices and Built for Shopify certification requirements from day one. Not because we have to, but because it's the right way to build.
The Chief Engineer Ethos
Concise and factual. We write spec sheets, not sales letters. Every word earns its place.
Allergic to hype. You won't see us claim our apps are “revolutionary” or “game-changing.” They're tools. Good ones.
Technical authority. Type-safe. SSR-compatible. Zero layout shift. We speak the language because we write the code.
Data over emotion. Measurable outcomes over feelings and promises. Speed scores, bundle sizes, compliance checks.
