Scythe Studio is changing into Somco Software

August 21st will always be an important date for our company. Five years ago, we officially registered Scythe Studio. This year on August 21, 2025, during the first Qt C++ Warsaw Meetup that we organized—we unveiled a new chapter in our story: Scythe Studio is now Somco Software.

This change is more than a new logo or a fresh name. It reflects how we’ve grown over the past five years: from a small Qt-focused studio into a company that delivers complete embedded systems, connecting hardware, firmware, UI/UX, and cloud into one seamless whole.

What does this mean for our clients and partners? And why now? Read on to discover the full story.

 

How it started

Our CEO, Lucas Kosiński, founded Scythe Studio with a clear goal: to provide deep Qt and C++ expertise for companies building modern applications. To do that in a new, better way.

Building something from scratch is never easy. We wanted to help clients overcome that challenge with the right tools and knowledge.

Today, our work combines more than Qt and C++ software development services. We do software architecture, hardware integration, regulatory support for medical devices, cybersecurity, and UI/UX design. All coming from one team of experts.

 

 

From hospitals to modern factories

As our projects grew in complexity, so did our role. We became trusted partners for companies such as , Toradex, STMicroelectronics, Riverdi and SoMLabs, supporting them with solutions where reliability and performance are non-negotiable.

Our work has reached industries ranging from healthcare and industrial automation to consumer electronics.

 

 

Our engineers have contributed to systems deployed in hospitals, factories, and homes. Leveraging Qt’s maturity and cross-platform capabilities, we’ve been able to step into projects at various stages of development and deliver results quickly.

This evolution from a niche Qt consultancy into a company delivering complete embedded systems is what laid the foundation for today’s rebrand.

 

Why we’re rebranding now

The word studio suggested a small, niche operation, while our projects increasingly required the scale and responsibility. Today, we don’t just build software components. Our role is to deliver complete embedded systems.

This means connecting hardware with firmware, integrating user interfaces with cloud services, and ensuring that every product meets demanding standards, from medical regulatory compliance to cybersecurity best practices, especially as regulations like EU CRA become more demanding from the producers’ standpoint.

Our new name, Somco Software, communicates clarity and scale. The inspiration comes from the Greek word soma, meaning body. Just as a body relies on organs working together, an embedded system depends on hardware, firmware, and software functioning as one. That’s the principle behind Somco: building systems that perform seamlessly as a whole.

 

 

What changes. What stays the same.

With the rebrand, our name and visual identity are new—but the essence of who we are remains unchanged.

The same engineers, the same expertise, and the same commitment to quality continue to drive our work. Qt and C++ remain at the heart of our technology stack, complemented by LVGL for highly constrained devices when required. What has expanded is our ability to deliver truly end-to-end solutions: from architecture and prototyping to regulatory support for medical devices, cybersecurity, and user experience design.

In short, only the brand has changed. The partnership, reliability, and technical depth our clients have come to expect are here to stay.
As our CEO said during the reveal at Qt C++ Warsaw Meetup
“If you loved us as a Scythe Studio, You’ll love us even more as Somco Software”.

 

What we build today – beyond the code

We deliver complete, production-ready solutions that unite hardware, firmware, and software into one reliable system.

Our expertise spans several key areas:

 

• Software architecture – designing robust, scalable system foundations that support long-term product success.
• MedTech solutions – our flagship domain, where we combine technical excellence with deep knowledge of regulatory requirements.
• Cybersecurity – developing embedded systems that remain resilient against evolving threats.
• UI/UX design – creating intuitive, purpose-driven interfaces, especially critical in regulated industries.
• Embedded prototyping – turning concepts into working devices quickly, enabling real-world validation early in the development cycle.

 

 

A strong focus on MedTech solutions

Our expertise shines the brightest in the MedTech industry. One example of our flag project is the Brain Viewer, a custom medical application used to present a 3D model of the human brain and display information about its specific parts.

Built with Qt Quick 3D, it renders a highly detailed 3D model of the human brain composed of more than 100 distinct components. Users can interact with the model rotating, zooming, adjusting transparency, and use advanced tools like precision measurement down to hundredths of a millimeter or an X-ray–style camera plane.

What makes Brain Viewer stand out is its technical depth and how it was engineered: with high code quality, structured planning, and documentation aligned with medical software standards such as IEC 62304. It illustrates how we approach MedTech projects: combining cutting-edge Qt technology with processes that meet the most demanding regulatory and clinical requirements.

 

Why Qt is still in our DNA?

Even as our portfolio has broadened, Qt remains the foundation of how we build. Its maturity, cross-platform reach, and extensive libraries uniquely suit embedded systems that need both performance and reliability. With Qt, we can deliver responsive interfaces, advanced graphics, and robust connectivity while maintaining a single, consistent codebase across embedded, desktop, and mobile environments.

Qt remains part of our DNA because it’s also part of our history. Many of our engineers started their careers with it, and we’ve grown alongside the framework. Publishing tutorials, sharing insights, and supporting the global developer community. That expertise continues to guide our work today, especially in industries like MedTech, where stability, long-term support, and compliance are as important as innovation.

 

What’s next for Somco Software?

Rebranding to Somco Software is not just about a new name. It’s a statement about our direction. Our vision is to become the leading embedded systems company in our region.

To achieve this, we’re continuing to grow our team, with a focus on engineers who combine Qt expertise with low-level MCU skills. This combination allows us to support clients across the full spectrum of devices.

 

 

Community will also remain central to our identity. We launched our new brand at the Qt C++ Warsaw Meetup, the first of many gatherings we plan to host.
