Pckgr
👤 Thomas Mahony (Worked help desk to Intune consulting to Capgemini; he'd packaged apps by hand for years and knew the exact pain to kill.)🌐 siteLinkedIn
An IT admin hated packaging apps for Intune, so he automated it and sold it back to everyone who hated it too.
Will it work? · our read
Boring pays. A single admin automated a job every Intune shop hates, priced it under the enterprise incumbents, and reached $1M+ ARR bootstrapped. The moat is depth in one dull niche.

Indie Hackers: Carving out a $1M+/yr niche out of the Microsoft ecosystem (2026)Pckgr pricing model (product docs)Starter Story podcast: the most boring SaaS on the internet (2026)intunepckgr.com — product siteThomas Mahony — founder (LinkedIn)
Revenue is first-party: in a 2026 Indie Hackers interview Thomas Mahony states 'over $1M ARR' (about $83K/mo), and the story is corroborated by a Starter Story podcast. Note a discrepancy — an earlier/rounded '$60K/month' framing (podcast title, older blurb) vs the interview's $83K/mo; the card headlines the founder's round 'over $1M ARR', which the $83K/mo figure supports (12x). Not audited (bootstrapped private company), so sourced STATED, not FILED. Pricing tiers ($49/$99/$149/mo) and the 1000+ tested-package repo are from Pckgr's own docs (fetched and confirmed). Region (Australia, Highton) and CEO role from the founder's/company LinkedIn; founding about 2024 per the first 'Introducing Pckgr' posts. Rivals bars are our read of mindshare among Intune admins, not revenue. We never score you.
