Your own app on iPhone and Android, built once, launched under your name.
iPhone and Android apps for small and growing businesses: Shopify store apps, booking apps and member apps, built once to run on both.
Customers who buy or book with you often are happy to install an app, and an app on their home screen brings them back more than any email. We build apps for small and growing businesses in the UK, Australia, Europe, North America and the Gulf: store apps that run on your existing Shopify catalogue, booking apps for salons, clinics, gyms and studios, and member or learning apps with logins and subscriptions.
We use React Native, so one codebase runs as a real app on both iPhone and Android: you pay for one build, not two. The app is published under your own Apple and Google accounts and you get the source code. We focus on apps we can deliver well at a fixed price; we don't build banking or wallet apps, or multi-vendor delivery platforms.
