Flutter-first. Cross-platform. Production-grade. One codebase, two app stores, real customers tapping real buttons. Live F&B ordering app on the App Store. Restaurant systems, e-commerce companions, custom software for real businesses. Not slide decks. Not prototypes. Not "in staging for six months." Real apps. Real users. Real shipping dates.
You paid $40K for an app. Eight months later, you have a Figma file, a half-working iOS build that crashes on the login screen, and an Android version that "needs more time." The agency keeps moving the goalposts. "We're just refactoring." "We're waiting on the backend." "We need one more sprint." The app is a hostage. Your money is gone. The launch keeps slipping.
The agency tells you native is the only "real" way. They charge you twice, once for an iOS team writing Swift, once for an Android team writing Kotlin. Two codebases. Two bug surfaces. Two release schedules. One app launches three months before the other, every feature ships twice, and every bug fix needs two patches. You're paying 2× for an app where Flutter would have shipped both stores from one codebase.
The agency submitted the build, said "we're live next week," then radio silence. Two weeks later you find out Apple rejected it for missing privacy declarations, broken sign-in-with-Apple flow, or guideline 4.3 ("spam"). The agency had never read Apple's review guidelines. Now they're learning on your timeline, your budget, and your launch date. App Store review is not a checkbox. It's a discipline.
The app works perfectly in the agency's office on their fiber connection. Then your delivery drivers take it into a basement, an elevator, or a tunnel, and the app freezes, drops orders, or shows a generic "something went wrong" error. Mobile is not desktop in a smaller window. Network state matters. Offline behavior matters. Most agencies treat mobile like web, then act surprised when it falls over in the real world.
From idea to App Store in 12–20 weeks. Flutter primary, one codebase to iOS + Android. Backend selection that fits the use case (Firebase for fast MVPs, Supabase for SQL needs, custom Node/Laravel when business logic is complex). Real UX. Real offline handling. Real push notifications.
Built mobile-first (because they're mobile apps, novel concept). Built with App Store and Play Store review baked into the timeline, not bolted on after launch slips.
For apps already half-built, behind schedule, or live and broken. We take over from agencies that couldn't finish. Audit the codebase. Identify what's salvageable. Refactor what isn't. Ship what's been stuck in staging.
App modernization for older builds, migrating from deprecated SDKs, fixing iOS 17/18 compatibility, restoring App Store compliance after rejections. The work most agencies refuse because someone else wrote the code. We don't refuse. We finish.
Every app engagement is assembled from these six modules. Pick the ones you need. We'll tell you which. Most builds use 4 to 5 simultaneously. The audit clarifies which.
Our primary mobile stack. One Dart codebase compiled to native iOS + Android. Production-grade performance, native UI feel, fast dev velocity, single bug surface.
When Flutter isn't the right fit. React Native for teams already invested in the React ecosystem or where deep native module integration is the core requirement.
For when you need mobile reach without App Store overhead. Installable PWAs with offline support, push notifications, and add-to-home-screen.
Every app needs a backend. Firebase for fast MVPs. Supabase when you need SQL. Custom Node.js or Laravel APIs when business logic is real. We integrate with your existing backend when you have one.
The discipline most agencies skip until launch week. App Store Optimization, privacy declarations, review-guideline compliance, screenshot strategy, metadata copywriting.
Apps aren't websites. iOS and Android push major OS updates yearly. SDKs deprecate. Crash reports need handling. Monthly retainers covering updates, crashlytics monitoring, feature drops, and store re-submissions.
Same protocol every build. Audit, scope, design, build, ship. Weekly TestFlight + APK drops so you actually see progress, not promises.
Use case analysis. Stack recommendation. Backend selection. Free. Honest call on what's realistic and what's MVP-bloat.
Feature list. User flows. API contracts. Store-submission timeline baked in. Signed in writing, no scope creep, no surprises.
Figma to spec. Native UI patterns for iOS + Android. Two revision rounds included. No "designer hands off, dev guesses" gap.
Real Flutter code. Weekly TestFlight + Play Console internal track drops. You install it every Friday, not at month-end.
App Store + Play Store submission, rejection cycles handled, ASO live, 30-day post-launch support. Retainer optional, never compulsory.
The honest answers. Including the ones most agencies dodge. If yours isn't here, email us. We'll answer it directly.
Free app audit. Honest diagnosis. We'll tell you exactly what's realistic, what's MVP-bloat, and what's worth shipping, before you commit to anything. No staging graveyard. No "in beta forever." Real apps. Real users. Real ship dates.
free audit. real timeline. real shipping.
