You've got the idea.
We ship the real app.
We build native iOS and Android apps for founders who don't have a tech team. You bring the idea. We handle the build, the subscriptions and the App Store.
- Scope agreed up front
- You own everything
- Free 30-minute chat
Made for founders, not procurement teams.
Most people we work with have a clear idea, some money set aside, and no way to build it. Sound like you?
Sound familiar?
- You've got the idea and no one to build it
- Your Lovable or Bubble prototype can't get into the App Store
- An agency quoted £40k and six months
- A freelancer went quiet halfway through
What you get instead
- Scope and timeline agreed before we write a line of code
- A real native app, not a website in a shell
- Login, payments and store rules handled from day one
- Senior engineers who reply fast and fix things faster
What's in the box
Every app needs the same foundations: sign-in, payments, onboarding, store rules. We've built them once, properly, so your budget goes on the part that's yours.
Your feature
The screens and ideas that make this app yours. We scope them with you and build them on foundations we've shipped before.
Sign-in that just works
Email, Apple and Google. One account, every device.
Subscriptions and free trials
Store billing on both platforms, trials, restore purchases. All wired up.
Store rules, built in
Account deletion, privacy consent, the things that get first submissions rejected. Done.
Push and onboarding
Notifications asked for at the right moment. Onboarding that picks up where people left off.
Submission and review
Store listings, TestFlight, submission to both stores. We handle what the reviewers say.
One price. Agreed before we start.
We call it the Store-Ready App. Everything on this page, plus the feature that makes it yours, built and submitted to both stores in about three months. When it's done, it's yours: the code, the app, the accounts. No hourly billing, no surprises.
- Agreed up front
- About three months
- You own it all
Built a prototype and stuck outside the App Store?
- Lovable
- Bolt
- Bubble
- FlutterFlow
- Glide
- Replit
Those tools are great for proving an idea. But they make web apps, and Apple wants a real one: native, with proper subscriptions and the things a browser can't do.
Your prototype did its job. We take what you've proven and rebuild it as a real app, on foundations with the store rules already built in.
What usually gets in the way
- It's a web app, and the store wants a native one
- No real subscription billing
- No health data, camera or background sync
- Certificates, manifests and review rules
Built end to endiOS + Android
Distant
An AI relationship coach, built end to end.
Built for anyone who replays an argument alone and wants a calmer way to say the hard thing. You talk to a coach that remembers your story, answers in real time, and knows when to stop coaching and point you to real help. We built the whole thing: the app, the backend and the AI engine.
How it works
Three steps. Three months. No surprises.
- 1
Discover
A short scoping chat. Your idea becomes a screen list, a scope and a price, all in writing, before you commit to anything.
- 2
Build
Foundations first, then your feature. You get builds on your phone as it takes shape, and quick answers when you have questions.
- 3
Ship
Store listings, submission to both stores, and we handle what the reviewers say. Then we stay on, or hand over cleanly. Your call.
The questions everyone asks first.
Got a different one? Ask us on a call. We'll give you a straight answer.
How much does it cost?
It depends on what we're building, and you'll know the number before you commit to anything. Every build is one fixed price, agreed in writing after a short scoping chat. Most start from around £12k. No hourly billing, and the price only moves if the scope does.
How long does it take?
About three months from kick-off to submission, for most apps. Review times are Apple's and Google's, not ours, but we handle whatever comes back.
I already built a prototype in Lovable, Bolt or Bubble. Can you use it?
Yes, and it's the best kind of spec. We rebuild it as a native app on our foundations, keeping the design and logic you've already proven.
Do you take equity?
We're open to a conversation. Most of our work is a straightforward fixed price, but if the project's right we're happy to look at a revenue share or a mix of cash and equity. Tell us what you have in mind.
Do you build health and fitness apps?
Yes. Wellness, fitness, nutrition and habit apps are all in, including ones that sync with Apple Health and Health Connect. We steer clear of anything that diagnoses or treats, and of fintech, gambling and dating.
Who owns the code and the app?
You do: your developer accounts, your app, and the code we write for you, which transfers to you on final payment. The foundation it runs on stays ours, and you get a permanent licence to use it, which you keep even if you stop working with us.
What happens after launch?
Whatever suits you. Some founders keep us on a light monthly plan for updates and support. Others take a clean handover with docs. Both are fine.
Where are you based?
London. We work with founders anywhere, and if you're in London we're happy to meet for a coffee.
