Our work

Apps for the app stores.

Mobile apps — iOS & Android

Native apps designed and built in-house, using the right tools for each platform — Swift and SwiftUI on Apple, Kotlin and Jetpack Compose on Android. Shipped to the App Store and Google Play, looked after over the long tail.

  • iPhone and iPad apps
  • Android phone and tablet apps
  • Store submissions, beta channels (TestFlight, Play Console), and review responses
  • Accessibility (VoiceOver, TalkBack, Dynamic Type) and localisation
  • Offline-first designs, sync, and considered local storage

Web & desktop apps

Companion web apps and cross-platform desktop software for macOS and Windows, built alongside the mobile work where the product is better for it. The same studio, the same standards.

  • Web apps in React, plain HTML, or server-rendered
  • Desktop apps for macOS and Windows (native or cross-platform)
  • The backends and APIs that join everything together
  • Authentication, payments, webhooks, and third-party integrations

Care after launch

An app that ships isn't an app that's done. We keep our published apps healthy — responding to reviews, tracking down bugs, keeping up with platform changes, and adding things as we learn from the people using them.

  • Continuous improvement of our published apps
  • Performance, stability, and platform-update work
  • Long-term store presence and review handling
Add-on service

Bespoke builds for customers.

Alongside our own apps, we take on a small number of bespoke builds for external customers each year. It's an add-on, not our core offering — we keep the slate short on purpose so it doesn't crowd out the studio's own work.

Custom apps & software

If your project is a clear fit — a focused app or piece of software on iOS, Android, web, or desktop — we may take it on. Fixed-scope, fixed-price where we can, with the same care we apply to our own apps.

  • New apps from scratch, or follow-up releases of existing ones
  • Codebase audits with a written report of findings and priorities
  • Maintenance retainers for an app already in the stores
  • Short consulting engagements — architecture reviews, store strategy, due diligence

Bespoke availability is limited. If we can't take a project on, we'll say so honestly and, where we can, point you somewhere else.

If we take it on

How a bespoke build runs.

A bespoke engagement starts with a short, free conversation to work out whether we're a fit. If we are, we'll write up a scope — what we're building, how long we think it'll take, and what it will cost — and send it over before any commitment on your side.

From there we typically work in two-week cycles, with a demo and a plain-language update at the end of each one. You always know what's in flight, what's finished, and what's next.

Typical commercial terms

Fixed-price for well-scoped work, time-and-materials for open-ended or exploratory work. UK-based invoicing. Clear intellectual property terms — your code is yours.

Written contract for every engagement, regardless of size.
