Build · Mobile apps
Mobile apps for products that belong on the home screen.
Not every idea needs an app. When yours does, we design and build it for iOS and Android from one codebase, with the backend and admin tools it needs behind it.
What a real app needs
L1App
iOS and Android from one codebase.
L2API
Secure endpoints for accounts and data.
L3Admin
A web dashboard to manage content and users.
L4Operations
Store releases, monitoring and updates.
What it solves
- 01
A website isn't enough
Notifications, offline use, camera or location: some products need native capabilities.
- 02
Two platforms, one budget
Separate iOS and Android builds double the cost. A shared codebase doesn't.
- 03
An app with nothing behind it
Apps need accounts, data and admin tools. We build the whole system.

Technology & approach
We typically use React Native with Expo: one TypeScript codebase for iOS and Android that can share logic with your web product. When an app needs to be fully native, we'll say so.

Questions
Should we build an app or a mobile website?
If people use it occasionally, a fast mobile website is usually better and cheaper. Apps make sense for frequent use, notifications or device features.
How do updates work?
Content and many fixes can be updated instantly; larger releases go through the app stores. We handle the submissions.
