Apps Users Actually Want
to Open — And Keep Opening.
There's a difference between an app that exists and one that users return to every day. Most apps die within 30 days of download. We build the ones that don't — through obsessive UX, bulletproof performance, and a launch strategy that drives real retention from day one.
3× the industry average
Most apps are built to launch.
Few are built to last.
Every layer of your app,
covered completely.
From the first whiteboard sketch to the moment your app hits the top charts — we own the whole process.
Product Strategy & Scoping
We define your MVP, map user flows, and prioritise features so you build what users actually need — not what sounded good in a meeting. Every decision is backed by research, not assumption.
UX Design for Mobile
Thumb-first design, platform-specific patterns, gesture navigation, and micro-interactions that make your app feel native and premium. We prototype everything — you see it before a single line of code is written.
React Native / Flutter Development
Cross-platform builds that look, feel, and perform like native apps on both iOS and Android — at a fraction of the cost of maintaining two separate codebases. We pick the right framework for your use case.
Backend & API Integration
Secure, fast backends built alongside your app. Authentication, real-time features, push notifications, and third-party integrations — all production-ready and documented before handoff.
App Store Submission & Optimisation
We handle the full submission process for both the App Store and Google Play — screenshots, metadata, review guidelines — plus ASO to maximise discoverability from launch day. Zero rejections on our watch.
Post-Launch Support & Iteration
Analytics setup, crash monitoring, and a dedicated 30-day sprint cycle post-launch to iterate based on real user behaviour. We don't hand off and disappear — we stay in the game until your metrics prove the product works.
From idea to live on the App Store.
Five focused stages. No surprises, no scope creep, no missed deadlines.
Strategy & Scoping
User research, competitive audit, feature prioritisation, and MVP definition. We align on scope before design touches a pixel.
UX Design
Flows, wireframes, and high-fidelity prototypes. You approve everything before development begins — what you see is what you get.
Development
Agile two-week sprints with weekly demos. Full-stack: app + backend + integrations built in parallel by the same team.
QA & Beta
End-to-end testing across real devices, performance profiling, and a private beta with real users before submission.
Launch & Iterate
Store submission, ASO, and a 30-day monitored launch sprint. We track retention, fix fast, and iterate on what data shows.
Three reasons clients
choose us over specialists.
We're not a dev shop that slaps a mockup on top. We're a product team that happens to ship apps.
Design and dev
in one team
No handoff loss, no misinterpreted specs, no "that wasn't in the design" arguments. Our designers and developers work in the same room on the same product — which means what you saw in Figma is what your users experience in the app.
We've shipped live apps
with proven metrics
The 62% Day-7 retention figure isn't a projection — it's a result from a live app we built and launched. We know what onboarding flows retain users, which notifications bring them back, and how to build a habit loop that actually sticks.
ASO included,
not bolted on
App Store Optimisation is part of our process from day one — not an afterthought your PM mentions a week before launch. Keyword research, screenshot strategy, and metadata copy are baked in, because discoverability starts before the first review.

Questions we get
on every call.
Neither is universally better — it depends on your product, team, and existing tech stack. React Native has a larger ecosystem and pairs well if you have web developers. Flutter delivers exceptional UI consistency and performance. We assess your specific needs and recommend the right tool, not the one we prefer to bill hours on.
A focused MVP typically takes 8–14 weeks from kick-off to App Store submission. This includes the strategy sprint, UX design, development, QA, and submission. Scope creep is the #1 reason timelines slip — our scoping process is designed to prevent it. We lock scope before we write a line of code.
Yes — always. We build the API, database, and backend infrastructure alongside the app using the same team. This eliminates the classic "the app is done but the backend isn't ready" problem that delays most mobile projects. You get one project, one deadline, one team responsible for the whole thing.
Yes, we do this regularly. We start with a technical audit — code quality, architecture, security, and performance — then give you an honest picture of what's worth keeping and what should be rebuilt. We extend or refactor existing codebases when it makes sense, not just to win more budget.
Every project includes a 30-day post-launch support sprint — crash monitoring, analytics review, user feedback synthesis, and up to two fast-follow releases. After that, we offer ongoing retainer sprints for clients who want a continuous development partner. You'll never be left holding a product you don't understand.
