How a mobile app fits together
Most of what makes an app work sits behind it. We build the app and the backend together, so they are released together.
- You have
Your systems
Ordering, patient, property or other business systems the app needs.
- Step 1
Backend and APIs
Sign-in, data, file storage and push, in Node.js on AWS.
- Step 2
The app
One React Native app for iOS and Android, or native where needed.
- Step 3
App stores
Store listings, review, phased rollout and regular updates.
Mobile app services
The app is only part of the work. We build the backend and integrations with it, so the two are designed and released together.
Apps
- React NativeOne TypeScript codebase for iOS and Android, shared with your web app where there is one.
- Native iOSSwift with SwiftUI or UIKit, for iOS-first apps or ones that rely on Apple frameworks.
- Native AndroidKotlin with Jetpack Compose, tested across a defined range of devices.
- Offline and pushApps that keep working without a signal, with push notifications and deep links.

Questions we get on the first call
Have a question that is not here? Send it with the form below and an engineer will reply within one business day.
React Native or native?
React Native by default: one codebase for both platforms, with native code where a feature needs it. Native Swift or Kotlin when the product is on one platform only, depends heavily on platform features, or needs every bit of performance.
How long does a first release take?
It depends on scope, but the backend and integrations usually decide the timeline more than the screens do.
Do you handle app store submission?
Yes, including listings, review, phased rollout and the rejections that often come with a first submission. We set up TestFlight and Play testing so releases become routine.
Do you maintain the app after launch?
Yes, on a monthly or hourly agreement: operating system updates, dependency upgrades, crash fixes and new features.
Four ways to work with us
A defined project
A defined integration or product, priced and scheduled up front, delivered with the test suite and infrastructure code you keep.
Engineers on your team
Engineers who join your team, your code and your daily meetings for as long as the roadmap needs them.
Ongoing support
We keep the integrations you run working: monitoring, vendor updates, new connections and month-end support.
Taking over existing systems
A system or integration nobody wants to touch: we review it, make it stable, then build on it.
