Apps that people keep using.

iPhone, Android and web apps, from customer-facing products to the internal tools that run a business. Every screen is planned for the hand that holds it and tested on real devices before release.

Process

How it runs

  1. 01 Discovery

    Who uses it, what they need to do, and the smallest version worth releasing, agreed in writing.

  2. 02 Prototype

    Clickable screens for every state, tested with real users before anything is built.

  3. 03 Build

    Delivered in short releases you can try on your own phone as the app takes shape.

  4. 04 Launch and care

    Store submission, monitoring and updates, with the code and the accounts in your name.

Principles

What we hold ourselves to

  • Every state designed

    Loading, empty, error and success screens are planned, not left to chance.

  • Yours

    The code, the store listings and the data belong to you.

  • Tested where it is used

    Apps are tested on mid-range phones and slow connections, not only on the newest devices.

Questions

Asked before.

Do you build for iPhone and Android?

Yes. Native iPhone apps in Swift, and Android or cross-platform builds where they suit the project.

Should this be an app or a website?

Often a fast website or web app does the job at lower cost. Discovery answers that question before anything is built.

How long does an app take?

It depends on the scope. Discovery produces a written plan with a timeline before the build starts.
