One app. Android and iOS. Shipped fast.
Cross-Platform Mobile Apps Built for Startups That Can't Afford to Wait
Building two separate native apps can eat 12+ months before your first user. We build cross-platform mobile apps that perform like native, ship in weeks, and stay practical for startup budgets — without the compromises you've heard about.
Two platforms, double the cost
Native iOS and Android development means two codebases, two teams, and two timelines. At the startup stage, that's a budget-killer before you've proven anything.
App Store submission is a minefield
Rejection loops, policy compliance, provisioning profiles, and review timelines can delay your launch by weeks if you don't know the process. We do.
Users abandon slow apps instantly
Mobile users are more impatient than web users. If your app stutters, crashes, or loads slowly, they leave and leave a 1-star review. Performance is non-negotiable.
What We Offer
Cross-Platform App Development
One codebase that runs on both Android and iOS. Faster to build, cheaper to maintain, and — with React Native or Flutter — genuinely indistinguishable from native in everyday use.
Startup-Focused MVP Mobile Apps
We scope your mobile MVP to the core user journey. Not a feature-complete app — a focused one that delivers your primary value and gets real users engaged within weeks.
API & Backend Integration
Whether you have an existing backend or need one built, we handle the full integration — REST APIs, GraphQL, real-time features, push notifications, and third-party services.
App Store & Play Store Deployment
We handle the entire submission process — provisioning profiles, certificates, store listing optimization, screenshot creation, and compliance review — so your launch isn't delayed by avoidable rejections.
Post-Launch Support & Updates
OS updates break things. User feedback drives changes. We support your app after launch with a structured support window and clear processes for ongoing updates.
Why Choose Us
- One team, one codebase, one billYou're not paying for an iOS team and an Android team with a project manager trying to keep them in sync. One team builds both, keeping decisions consistent and timelines aligned.
- We handle the App Store process so you don't have toStore submissions are a known pain point for founders doing it for the first time. We've done it enough times to know the guidelines, the edge cases, and the fastest path through review.
- Mobile-first thinking from screen oneWe don't shrink web designs onto phones. Every screen is designed for how people actually use mobile apps — thumbs, gestures, limited attention, and interrupted sessions.
Tech Stack
How We Work
A clear path from idea to launch.
App Planning
Define the core mobile user journey, identify which features belong in the app vs. web, and plan the screen architecture before a single component is built.
UI/UX Design
Platform-appropriate UI designed for mobile interaction patterns — not a web layout squeezed onto a phone. Designed in Figma with developer handoff included.
Cross-Platform Development
Feature development with weekly builds you can install and test on your own device. Real progress, every week.
Device & Performance Testing
Tested across multiple real devices, OS versions, and screen sizes. Performance profiling to catch memory leaks, janky animations, and slow API calls before your users do.
Store Publishing & Rollout
Full App Store and Play Store submission. We handle the compliance checklist, metadata, screenshots, and the back-and-forth with reviewers if any issues arise.
What You Get
- A live app on both the App Store and Google Play within 8–12 weeks
- Native-quality performance and UI on both platforms from a single codebase
- Full store submission handled — no surprises or last-minute rejections
- Push notifications, offline support, and API integrations working correctly
- A codebase that one developer can maintain and extend going forward
Best For
- Consumer app startups that need to be on both platforms from day one
- SaaS companies adding a mobile companion to an existing web product
- Founders with a web MVP who need to go mobile for their next growth phase
- Teams that tried native development and couldn't justify the cost or time

Questions
React Native or Flutter — which do you use and why?
We use both, and we recommend based on your specific situation. React Native is better if you have an existing web React codebase to share logic with, or if your team is JavaScript-first. Flutter is better for highly custom UI requirements and slightly better animation performance. We'll make a recommendation in the Discovery call based on your context.
Will it really look and feel native?
For 95% of use cases, yes. React Native and Flutter render using native components and are used by apps like Facebook, Shopify, Airbnb, and Alibaba. The 5% where native wins is at the very edge — deep hardware integrations, extremely complex animations, or performance-critical low-level operations. Most startup apps never touch that edge.
What if my app gets rejected from the App Store?
We've handled dozens of store submissions and know the common rejection triggers. We review your app against Apple's and Google's guidelines before submission and handle the appeal or fix process if rejections occur. Store submission is included in our engagement.
Do I need a backend before starting?
No. If you don't have a backend, we can scope and build one as part of the engagement. If you have an existing backend or API, we integrate with it. We'll assess what's needed in the Discovery phase.
