Mobile Apps
iOS and Android from one codebase, built to work when the network does not, with data that stays on the device unless you have a reason to move it.
What a mobile apps engagement includes
A mobile app is a promise to maintain something on two platforms that change every year. We build ones worth that promise — where being on a phone is the point, not a box to tick.
- One codebase for both platforms, so a fix ships to everyone at once
- Offline-first behaviour, because field work happens where signal does not
- End-to-end encryption where the data warrants it, with keys held by the user
- Store submission handled, including the review notes nobody warns you about
- A maintenance plan, because two platforms change under you every year
What this looks like in practice
Field data capture
Works offline, syncs when it can, never loses a record
Companion app
The parts of a web tool that belong in a pocket
Secure messaging
End-to-end encrypted, keys never leave the device
How it runs
01
We check that it should be an app
Sometimes it should be a good mobile website, and that is a cheaper answer we are happy to give.02
We prototype the hard part first
Offline sync, or the camera, or the thing nobody is sure about — before the easy screens get built around it.03
We ship to a small group
Real devices, real hands, real network conditions, ahead of the store.04
We hand over the pipeline
Signing, builds and releases, documented so a release does not depend on one person.
Questions people ask
Native or cross-platform?
Cross-platform for almost everything, native where a platform capability genuinely demands it. We will tell you which one you are looking at and why.
Who owns the store listings?
You do. The accounts are yours, in your organisation’s name — this matters enormously the first time somebody leaves.
What does maintenance actually cost?
Both platforms make breaking changes annually. Budget for a release or two a year even if you add nothing; we will give you a real number.
Want to talk about sovereignty?
Tell us what you run, where it runs, and who can reach it. We will tell you honestly what moving it to Canadian infrastructure would take.
