Your customers live on their phones. We design and build mobile apps that are fast, reliable and a pleasure to use — from a single cross-platform codebase or fully native where it counts.

The challenge

A clunky app gets deleted after one use. You need an app that loads instantly, works offline and feels native on every device — without paying to build it twice for iOS and Android.

What you get

  • iOS and Android apps (cross-platform or native)
  • Polished, accessible interfaces with smooth motion
  • Offline support, push notifications and deep links
  • App Store and Play Store submission and maintenance

Typical results

  • One codebase, both platforms — lower cost
  • Higher store ratings and retention
  • A reliable channel straight to your customers

The difference

From a browser tab to a place on the home screen

On the left the workaround most companies start with, on the right what an app changes about it.

A mobile website as a stopgap: a browser tab, no home-screen icon, nothing offline
Mobile website

One tab among many, no icon on the home screen, nothing without a connection — and a login every single time.

Your own app: full screen without browser chrome, an icon on the home screen, push notifications and offline content
With your own app

One tap away, content on the device, and push notifications that reach your customers directly.

From our work

An app that supports parents during the speech-therapy waiting period

Parents can actively support their child’s speech development during the wait, with an approachable app born from genuine therapeutic know-how.

Your app partner in Munich

We are at home in Munich (Baaderstraße 40, Glockenbachviertel) and have taken apps from the first sketch to the store — a speech-therapy app built with two therapists, and a social app that had to launch on a date. You get a fixed contact person and short paths, in person where that helps.

How we get started

  1. Free intro call

    30 minutes on what the app should do and for whom — and an honest answer on whether it needs to be an app at all.

  2. Scope & first version

    We cut the idea down to the version that is worth shipping first, with a clear budget instead of an open-ended feature list.

  3. Build & store launch

    We build for iOS and Android, handle both submissions and stay on board for the updates the platforms demand.

Frequently asked questions

What does it cost to build an app?
Cost is driven by features, platforms and design depth. A focused MVP for both iOS and Android is usually the most cost-effective start; we scope it with you so the budget is clear up front. The cost estimator gives you a first, non-binding range in two minutes.
When does an app beat a mobile website?
An app pays off when people come back regularly, when you need push notifications, or when it has to work without a connection or use the camera, GPS or a wallet. For something people visit once or twice a year, a good mobile website is the cheaper and better answer — and we will say so.
Native or cross-platform?
For most products, a cross-platform codebase (React Native) delivers native-quality experience at roughly half the cost. We go fully native only where performance or platform features demand it.
How long until the app is in the stores?
A focused first version typically takes 8–16 weeks to build, plus the store review — Apple usually answers within a day or two, Google faster. Plan a little slack for the first submission: rejections over privacy labels or account deletion are common and are fixed in days, not weeks.
Do you handle the App Store submission?
Yes — we handle App Store and Play Store submission, review and post-launch maintenance. The developer accounts are set up in your company name, not ours: if we ever part ways, the app stays where it belongs.
Who owns the code?
You do. You get the full source code and the repository, and the store accounts are yours. We do not build in dependencies whose only purpose is to keep you with us.
What happens when iOS or Android gets a new version?
Both platforms ship a major release every year, and both periodically raise the minimum SDK an app must be built against — so an app that is never touched will eventually stop being updatable in the store. A small maintenance arrangement covers exactly that: keeping up with the platforms so the app stays available.
Can the app connect to our existing systems?
Yes — that is usually the interesting part. ERP, CRM, a merchandise management system or your own backend: if there is an interface, we connect it; if there is not, we build one. We did exactly that for PWM, where devices in the field report their readings back to a central system.
