united-states, llcI’m filling out the paperwork for filing an LLC and one question is what the NAICS code would be for the company. The company solely exists for selling mobile and desktop apps that I have created. These are not games, but rather apps for productivity.

The point though is, stop overthinking and basically slap whatever best you feel describes you and call it a day. Unless you anticipate getting inspectors based on whatever you declare, the latter has no relevance whatsoever.
