We started Glitterbug back in 2016 in Dublin and our primary goal was to develop beautiful, high quality apps for ourselves.

We are Independent & Tech Led
We are female led
Hi. I’m cofounder Laura Cavanagh. I drive the technical arm of our business as the lead software developer.
After almost 13 years in a male-driven, intimidating, chauvinistic tech industry I wanted to create something better – a company where women had as much of a voice as their male counterparts and where women were safe and supported.
This is an important part of the Glitterbug ethos.
If you are looking for a female-led app development company supporting women in tech, then look no further.


We are Sustainable
Glitterbug are a sustainable app development company
We have launched apps that save paper, food waste and energy.
As cofounders we also strive to live eco-friendly lives by being plant based, reducing food waste, eating seasonal foods, reducing paper waste and by reducing our carbon footprint as much as possible.
That’s another reason why we are the top app development company in Ireland.
