What you get

from kickoff to a live App Store release
100%
source code & App Store ownership - it's yours
Native
real SwiftUI, no cross-platform compromise
29 apps live on the App Store
Overview

iOS is where considered products still win. A native app that launches instantly, respects the platform's gestures, and works offline is the difference between something people delete in a week and something they keep on the home screen. We design and build that calibre of app in SwiftUI, end to end - and we've shipped enough of our own to the App Store to keep the parts that usually go wrong boring and predictable.

Who it's for
Founders taking a focused idea from concept to the App Store
Teams whose cross-platform app no longer feels native enough
Products that need to stay fast offline and on older devices
The problem

Most apps never earn a second open.

Cross-platform shortcuts feel half-native, performance lags on the devices that matter, and submissions stall in review. Teams ship features but get no signal on what's actually working.

Sluggish, generic UI that doesn't feel like iOS
No clear path through App Store review
Features shipped, but no signal on what's working
Our approach

How we deliver.

01

Design for the platform

Native patterns, gestures, and motion - so it feels at home on iPhone from the first tap.

02

Build native & fast

SwiftUI, offline-first data, and a codebase tuned for the devices your users actually carry.

03

Ship to the App Store

We handle submission, review, and release - and we've done it enough to keep it boring.

04

Iterate with data

Analytics and crash reporting from day one, so each release is informed, not guessed.

AI

On-device AI grew eyes: Apple's 2026 model framework

Apple's on-device model now takes images, calls Vision tools, and runs behind one API that swaps to Claude or Gemini - free, private, on the phone.

Engineering

Swift 6 concurrency: the data-race reckoning is here

Building on the iOS 26 SDK is now mandatory - but only 38% of teams have turned on Swift 6's data-race safety. That gap is where the crashes hide.

Design

Liquid Glass: using Apple's new iOS 26 design language well

iOS 26's Liquid Glass is the biggest visual shift since iOS 7. Reserve it for the navigation layer, and never ship it without the accessibility gates.

AI

Apple's on-device AI is now an API

The Foundation Models framework gives any iOS app a ~3B-parameter model for free - no key, no network, no per-token cost. Here's the architecture that follows.

How to choose an app development company in 2026

A neutral, evidence-led guide to choosing an app development company: the criteria that predict success, and when a small studio isn't the right fit.

Strategy

What does it cost to build an app in 2026?

A straight answer with real 2026 numbers - what apps actually cost, what drives the price, and why the build is only half the bill.

Engineering

Why we ship local-first software

The network is optional. Your data isn't. How building offline-first changes everything - from the data model to the way an app feels in the hand.

Design

Designing a scoring app you can use one-handed

What scoring a live cricket match taught us about tap targets, thumbs, and sunlight.

Privacy

Keeping health data on the device

Building Lunara without servers - why some data should never leave the phone.

Studio

Pay-once, where it fits

Not everything needs a subscription. When a one-time purchase is the honest model - and when it isn't.

Engineering

Shipping to the App Store without the drama

A repeatable checklist for review, metadata, and release - so launch day is boring.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

How long does an iOS build take?

A focused first version is typically 8–14 weeks from kickoff to App Store, depending on scope. We ship working builds every week so you're never waiting to see progress.

Do you build for Android too?

Yes. We often start iOS-first for the audience and polish, then bring the same product to web and Android once the core is proven.

Who owns the code and the App Store listing?

You do - entirely. The app ships under your developer account, and you keep the full source from day one.

What happens after launch?

We stay on for releases, monitoring, and iteration. Many of our apps keep shipping updates long after the first launch.
