How each discipline is staffed
Most studios hand you a design file and a repo that disagree with each other. Pick a discipline to see how we staff it.
Apps that feel like they came with the phone
Swift and SwiftUI builds that respect the platform: Dynamic Type, VoiceOver, widgets, Live Activities and a submission that passes review the first time.
What you get
- Widgets, App Clips and Live Activities
- Accessibility audited against WCAG 2.2
- StoreKit 2 subscriptions and Apple Pay
How we hold the line
- Cold start under 1.2 seconds
- Crash-free rate above 99.9%
- Full support back two OS versions
Built for the messy half of the market
Kotlin and Jetpack Compose tuned for low-end devices, patchy networks and eight years of OS versions — not just the flagship in the demo video.
What you get
- Jetpack Compose with a shared design system
- Play Console staged rollouts and pre-launch reports
- Background work that survives aggressive OEM battery managers
How we hold the line
- Install size budgets enforced in CI
- Tested on a real device farm, not just emulators
- Offline behaviour specified per screen
One team serving both stores, honestly
Flutter or React Native when a shared codebase genuinely pays — with native modules written properly wherever the bridge would cost you frames.
What you get
- Shared business logic, native where it counts
- Platform-correct navigation and gestures
- A single CI pipeline producing both artefacts
How we hold the line
- We tell you when native is the better call
- 60fps budget checked every release
- Native module ownership documented
Design your engineers can actually implement
Research, flows, prototypes and a component library handed over as tokens and specs — not a folder of screenshots and a hopeful conversation.
What you get
- Five real users test the prototype before code starts
- Design tokens exported straight into the codebase
- Every state drawn: empty, loading, error, offline
How we hold the line
- Motion specs with durations and easing curves
- Dark mode designed, not auto-generated
- Accessibility contrast checked at design time
The part that breaks when marketing sends the email
Auth, sync, offline queues, push infrastructure and APIs that hold up under a launch-day spike — designed for the mobile client, not adapted from a web one.
What you get
- Offline-first sync with documented conflict rules
- Push infrastructure with delivery reporting
- Load tested against your worst realistic day
How we hold the line
- Versioned APIs so old clients keep working
- Migrations rehearsed on a copy of production
- Runbooks written before go-live
A rollback you rehearsed before you needed it
Automated device-farm runs, crash budgets, staged rollouts and monitoring that pages a human — so the 11pm incident is boring instead of memorable.
What you get
- Device-farm matrix covering your real user base
- Crash and ANR budgets gating every release
- Staged rollout with automatic halt thresholds
How we hold the line
- Rollback rehearsed each release cycle
- Alerting routed to a named on-call
- Release notes written for humans
Your engineers are good. Ours make them faster.
We are not here to replace an in-house team. We join your board, your standups and your repo, take the work that has been sitting in the backlog since spring, and leave your people free to hold the roadmap.
- A named squad — not a rotating pool of contractors
- Four hours of overlap with your timezone, written into the agreement
- Code review both ways , so the knowledge does not leave when we do

Five stages. Nothing skipped, nothing padded.
Each stage has an exit condition you sign off before we spend a rupee or a dollar on the next one. Click through to see what you get at the end of each.
Pull the idea apart before anyone writes code
We map the flows, name the risks, cut what will not earn its build cost and put a real number on the rest. You leave with a plan you could hand to any studio.
You end the stage with
- Technical discovery document
- Risk register with mitigations
- Costed, sequenced build plan
Five real users try to break it before we build it
Flows, a clickable prototype and moderated testing. Every state gets drawn — empty, loading, error, offline — so nothing gets invented during the build.
You end the stage with
- Clickable prototype of the core journey
- Component library exported as tokens
- Recorded user-testing sessions
Fortnightly sprints that end with something installable
The squad works in your repo, on your board. Every second Thursday you get a signed build, a plain-language changelog and a short walkthrough video.
You end the stage with
- Signed build every second Thursday
- Changelog written for non-engineers
- Burn-up chart you can read alone
Submission, staged rollout and a rehearsed rollback
Store listings, screenshots, privacy declarations and review responses. The rollout starts at 5% with automatic halt thresholds wired to your alerting.
You end the stage with
- Store listings and assets submitted
- Dashboards and alerting handed over
- Rollback rehearsed before day one
Retention work, or a clean exit — your call
Two weeks of pairing with whoever inherits the app, then either a reduced squad for the next release, a light support retainer, or a documented goodbye.
You end the stage with
- Runbooks and architecture notes
- Two weeks of pairing handover
- Performance budgets set for the next team
You can install the thing you're paying for
A slide that says "80% complete" means nothing. A build on your phone means everything. From the second sprint onward, every fortnight ends with a signed artefact you can open, tap and complain about.
- TestFlight and internal-track builds every second Thursday
- A written changelog in plain language, not commit messages
- Crash-free rate and cold-start time reported next to the feature list

The questions that come up on every first call
If yours is not here, write to us. We answer scoping questions properly whether or not you end up hiring us.
Ask us directlyA focused first release usually lands between $80,000 and $220,000 depending on platform count, backend complexity and compliance load. The estimator above uses our real internal model, and the two-week scoping sprint turns that range into a fixed figure.
You do, from the first commit. Work happens in your repository and your design workspace wherever possible. There is no licence to buy back and no vendor lock written into the contract.
Often, yes. We start with a paid two-week audit covering architecture, test coverage, dependency health and store standing, then tell you plainly whether to continue the codebase or replace it.
Yes — listings, screenshots, privacy declarations, review responses and the staged rollout. It is included in the squad engagement rather than billed as an extra line.
Two weeks of pairing with whoever inherits the app, then your choice: a light support retainer, a reduced squad for the next release, or a clean exit with documentation and a recorded walkthrough.
Four hours of guaranteed overlap with your working day, written into the agreement. Everything else runs asynchronously through written updates, recorded demos and a shared board you can read at any hour.
Tell us what you're building
Send a paragraph about the idea and where it is stuck. You will get a reply from an engineer, not a form response — usually inside one working day.
