App Development
We build the whole app, not pieces of it.
Native Android and iOS - Kotlin and Swift. Cross-platform when it makes sense, not as a default. Every line we ship goes through a real device, not just an emulator.
- Native iOS (Swift, SwiftUI) and Android (Kotlin, Jetpack Compose)
- Cross-platform (Flutter, KMP) when budget or audience warrants it
- Architecture, state management, persistence, networking
- CI/CD, automated testing, crash reporting hooks
A shippable, maintainable app that works offline, passes store review, and doesn't embarrass you in 18 months.
"We treat the codebase like someone else will own it next year - because they probably will."
Product Design
From sticky note to App Store, with the boring middle done well.
UI, UX, design systems, prototyping. We figure out what the app should be before we figure out what it should look like. Then we make it look like it knows what it is.
- Discovery - interviews, audit, problem framing
- Wireframes and clickable Figma prototypes
- Visual design, motion specs, design system
- Hand-off, redlines, async reviews with engineering
A product that feels obvious to use and looks like it belongs in 2026, not 2014.
"Good design is mostly removing things. We do that early, so engineering doesn't have to."
Backend Engineering
APIs and infra that scale with the product, not ahead of it.
A backend that's exactly as complicated as your app needs today, with a clear path to what it needs in two years. No premature kubernetes.
- REST and GraphQL APIs (Node, Go, Rust depending on fit)
- Auth, payments, push, analytics - wired in properly
- Postgres + sensible caching + clean migrations
- Hosting setup (Hetzner, Fly, AWS) with infra-as-code
A backend that scales with traffic, costs what you'd expect, and explains itself when something breaks at 3am.
"Boring tech is the right tech. We pick the dullest stack that solves the problem."
Launch & ASO
Stores reward apps that show up well. We help you show up well.
App Store and Play Store presence - listings, screenshots, keywords, organic ranking. We don't do paid acquisition; we make the surface that paid traffic lands on actually convert.
- Listing copy in your tone, not store-speak
- Screenshots that explain the app in 5 seconds
- Keyword research and ASO setup for both stores
- Pre-launch checklist, store review prep, post-launch monitoring
A store page that earns the install before anyone reads the reviews.
"Most apps lose 70% of would-be users on the listing. Get that right first."
Maintenance
The unglamorous half of shipping. We do this well.
Post-launch support, OS updates, monitoring, bug triage. Most apps die not because they were bad, but because nobody kept them alive. We can keep yours alive.
- OS update compatibility (iOS 18, Android 15, etc.)
- Crash monitoring (Sentry, Crashlytics) and triage
- Library and SDK upgrades, dependency hygiene
- Light feature work and bug fixes on a retainer
An app that ages well - same one-tap install, no "this app needs updated" warnings.
"Software rots without care. A small monthly cost beats a big rewrite in year three."
Consulting
A second pair of eyes, when you don't need a whole team.
Tech strategy, code audits, hiring help, vendor selection, advisory. Useful for founders, internal product teams, and other studios who want a sanity check.
- Codebase and architecture audits with written reports
- Mobile hiring help - JD review, technical interviews
- Vendor selection (Firebase vs Supabase, etc.)
- Sparring sessions on strategy, scope, timelines
Confidence that you're building the right thing the right way - or a clear list of what to fix.
"Hours of advice up front saves months of rebuilding later. Usually."
Pick three or four.
Tell us about the rest.
Most projects use a handful of these. Scope a project with us - we'll be honest about what you actually need and what you don't.
