Software consultancy · Est. 2024
We build iOS apps, web platforms, and internal tools for businesses — and we publish six iPhone apps of our own. That second part is the point: the people advising you have been through App Store review, privacy labels, payment infrastructure, and production support this year, not in a previous decade.

What we do
Whether the deliverable is a shipped product or a decision you can act on.
Native iOS in Swift and SwiftUI, Flutter where cross-platform makes sense, Capacitor where web and native have to coexist. Concept through App Store review, including the parts teams underestimate: privacy labels, in-app purchases, subscription infrastructure, and the review response when it comes back rejected.
How we approach it →Full-stack platforms with the infrastructure that actually takes the time — payments, authentication, search, secure digital delivery. Plus fast static sites built to be found, by search engines and by the AI assistants increasingly answering in front of them.
How we approach it →The unglamorous work with the clearest return: workflow automation, database design, integrations between systems that don't talk, and internal tools that delete the manual step somebody is doing twice a day.
How we approach it →Engagements where the deliverable is a decision, not a codebase: architecture review, build-versus-buy, platform selection, App Store and privacy compliance, or an honest assessment of a project that has stalled and why.
How we approach it →How it works
You describe the problem. We tell you what we'd build, roughly how long it takes, and where the risk sits — including when the honest answer is that an off-the-shelf tool already does this and you shouldn't commission anything.
What's being built, what isn't, what it costs, and what we need from you. Explicit non-goals are the part that keeps a project on schedule, so they go in writing at the start rather than getting negotiated at the end.
Progress shown as builds you can install and use, not status decks. For mobile work that means TestFlight from early on, because opinions about a running app are worth more than opinions about a mockup.
App Store submission and review responses, or production deployment. You get the source, the accounts in your own name, and documentation written for whoever maintains it next — whether that's us or not.
The proof
Every consultancy claims delivery experience. Ours is on the App Store under our own name, where you can download it and check. Each of these solved a different hard problem — on-device machine learning, Bluetooth mesh networking, system-level alarm scheduling, exact decimal arithmetic, real-time game loops.
Paint by Stickers
Cuts any photo into numbered sticker pieces entirely on the device, using Apple's Vision subject masking plus our own segmentation pipeline. 60 built-in puzzles, five difficulties, share codes.
Hard part: on-device image segmentation with no server
Offline Messaging
Encrypted text between nearby iPhones over a Bluetooth Low Energy mesh, relaying up to five hops, with no WiFi, cell service, servers, or account anywhere in the path.
Hard part: a custom binary wire protocol over BLE
Alarms & Routine Timers
Built natively on Apple's AlarmKit, so alarms are scheduled by iOS itself and fire through Silent Mode, Focus, force-quits, and reboots. Plus routines, countdowns, and on-device sleep insights.
Hard part: AlarmKit, HealthKit, Live Activities, on-device AI
Read & Retain
A speed-reading trainer that generates a comprehension quiz from the exact passage you just read, then reports the fastest pace at which you still scored 80% or better.
Hard part: structured generation from Apple Foundation Models
Multi Calculator
Up to eight independent calculators on one screen, each in its own mode, with values passing between them. Arithmetic is exact decimal, so 0.1 + 0.2 is 0.3.
Hard part: a Pratt parser and arbitrary-precision decimal engine
Arcade Shooter
A top-down arcade shooter with 100 levels, 20 bosses, and 6 modes, built in SpriteKit. Every level free, no ads, no consumable currency of any kind.
Hard part: a real-time game loop and level economy
The bias we bring
Held loosely enough to be overruled, but you should know them going in.
Server-side processing means latency, running cost, a retention policy, and a feature that breaks offline. Our apps run image segmentation and language models locally. Where a server genuinely is the right answer, we'll say so.
Data you don't hold can't leak, can't be subpoenaed, and doesn't need a compliance process. That's a product decision, not a moral one — and it's yours to make. We'll build analytics properly if you want them.
Two of our apps require iOS 26 because they use frameworks that only exist there. Knowing which new APIs are worth a minimum-version bump — and which aren't — is most of what platform experience buys you.
Every number on this site is checkable in shipped code, and where a claim has limits we print them. It's also better SEO now that AI assistants cross-check sources — but mostly it means nobody has to relitigate the copy later.
Questions
We're a software consultancy. We build custom iOS apps, full-stack web applications, and business automation and internal tools for companies, and we take on technical consulting where the deliverable is a decision rather than code. We also publish six iPhone apps of our own, which is how we stay current with App Store review, production support, and the platform frameworks we end up recommending to clients.
Four shapes, mainly. A new product built from scratch and taken through release. A web platform that needs real infrastructure — payments, authentication, search, digital delivery. An automation or internal tool that removes a manual process. And consulting engagements: architecture review, build-versus-buy, platform selection, App Store and privacy compliance, or an assessment of a project that has stalled. More detail on each.
On mobile: Swift and SwiftUI for native iOS — including AlarmKit, HealthKit, WidgetKit, ActivityKit, Vision, SpriteKit, StoreKit, and Apple Foundation Models for on-device AI; Flutter and Dart for cross-platform; Capacitor with Ionic, Vue, and TypeScript where web and native have to coexist. On web: full-stack applications with payments, authentication, search, and digital delivery, plus static sites built for search and AI-search visibility. All of that is in production in our own shipped apps, not just on a capability list.
Because shipping is the part that goes wrong. Our six apps have been through App Store review, privacy-label declarations, in-app purchase and subscription infrastructure, on-device AI, Bluetooth Low Energy, HealthKit, and live production support with real users. That's what you're actually buying when you hire us — and unlike a case study, it's verifiable: every app is on the App Store and every claim we make about them is checkable in the shipped binary.
With a free scoping conversation. You describe the problem, we tell you what we'd build, roughly how long it takes, and where the risks are — including when the honest answer is that you should buy something off the shelf rather than commission it. If it's a fit, we agree a scope and schedule in writing before any work starts. Email [email protected] or use the contact page.
No. Our apps carry no advertising SDKs and no third-party analytics, but those are product decisions we made for ourselves, not conditions we impose on clients. Want analytics, ads, or a subscription model? We'll build it properly and tell you honestly what it costs your users. Want privacy-first architecture — on-device processing, no accounts, offline-capable? That we've shipped repeatedly and can build to the same standard.
Six iPhone apps: Pentire: Paint by Stickers, which cuts photos into sticker puzzles on-device; Chat Local: Offline Messaging, encrypted Bluetooth mesh texting with no internet or servers; Rouse: Alarms & Routine Timers, built natively on Apple's AlarmKit; Dogear: Read & Retain, a speed-reading trainer with on-device comprehension quizzes; CalcBoard: Multi Calculator, up to eight calculator panels on one screen; and Scroll Clash, a top-down arcade shooter. All free to download — full details here.

A stalled build, a manual process eating someone's week, an app idea that needs a first honest opinion. The scoping call is free and you'll get a real answer, including "don't build this".
