Native App Development — iPhone & Android, built in-house

Pricing

Designed and built, one-off, at a fixed price.

A fixed build fee confirmed before you commit — no ranges, and both platforms included. Two starting points depending on whether we're wrapping a product you already run, or designing and building your app from a blank page. Ongoing hosting, updates and store maintenance are quoted separately once we know what you need kept current.

Simple

Single core workflow

Wrapping an existing product

Shipped so far

Built the hard way — real backends, real store submissions, both platforms.

This isn't a wireframe or a pitch deck. 7 apps have been through the full pipeline below — 7 are live on the App Store today. Every one of them is built for Android from the same source: DiaryIQ and The Chequers Beer Festival is live on Google Play, HRIQ is in review, and the *IQ companions list on Google Play as each is approved.

7 native apps built & shipped

One codebase — iPhone & Android from the same source

7 live on the App Store

Google Play — 1 live, 1 in review

Offline-first, two-way sync on reconnect

Real backend — auth, sync, row-level security

Signed CI/CD release pipeline for both stores

What you get

A real app, not a stripped-down preview.

The same standard we hold every *IQ mobile app to — whatever we build carries this in as standard, not as an upsell.

iPhone and Android, one build

Built once, shipped to both stores from the same source — so the two apps never drift apart and a fix lands on both at the same time.

The full product, not a preview

A genuine wrap of the real thing, so every screen and workflow that exists on desktop exists on the phone too — nothing cut for mobile.

Works with no signal

Offline-first by default — carry on with no signal, and it syncs the moment you're back online, merging cleanly against anyone else's changes.

One login, IP protected

Shares sign-in with the web product — no second account. Obfuscated bundle, sensitive logic kept server-side, device-bound licensing.

How an app build comes together

From a working product to two live app-store listings.

The same four-stage discipline behind every *IQ dashboard (see the full process), extended to cover native builds and store submission.

01 — Your product or spec

Whatever exists today

A working web dashboard, a rough spec, or just an idea of what your team needs on site — we scope what the app actually has to do offline.

02 — Wrapped & hardened

One codebase, both platforms

A genuine wrap of the real product, with native plugins for camera, QR and files, and the IP-protection pass applied before anything ships.

03 — Connected

Wired to a real backend

Auth, sync and entitlement wired to your backend (or ours) — full offline-first, with a two-way merge the moment signal comes back.

04 — Submitted & live

Signed, submitted, kept current

Signed builds via CI, App Store & Google Play submission handled end-to-end, then kept current every time the product moves on.

The fleet

Every app this pipeline has shipped — and where each one is on both stores.

Each *IQ app is a full native companion to its live dashboard, built and submitted the same way we'd build yours. Status is per platform, kept honest and updated as each listing moves.

*IQ companion apps — 7
