About JMW Legacy

Experience, partnership, and a long view.

JMW Legacy is a family-owned company building practical technology from the perspective of people who know the work firsthand.

Where it began

A company shaped by the working waterfront.

JMW Legacy grew from more than 30 years of firsthand shellfish harvesting experience and a simple belief: the people doing the work deserve tools designed with their reality in mind.

What began with the needs of one harvester became Bank the Catch, the company's flagship product—and the foundation for a broader commitment to useful, grounded software.

From need to first product

The story behind Bank the Catch.

As a shellfish harvester with more than 30 years of experience—and years of hands-on experience with computers and information technology—Jeremy turned that need into Bank the Catch.
