What we take on

Outsourced work you don't have to babysit.

Four things we're genuinely senior at. If it isn't one of them, we'll tell you straight rather than learn on your budget.

iOS & Android

Native iOS in Swift, SwiftUI, and UIKit — from an empty repo to App Store review. Local-first architecture, clean MVVM, accessibility, and store optimization built in. Android too — native in Kotlin, or React Native and Flutter when one shared codebase is the right call.

AI that earns its place

On-device ML with Core ML and Apple Foundation Models, plus Claude and OpenAI where the cloud makes sense. We ship AI that solves a real problem — not a chatbot bolted on to look modern.

Web & full-stack

The rest of the product: marketing sites, web apps, REST and GraphQL backends, databases, cloud. One partner accountable for the whole thing — from a launch page to a production backend.

A second opinion

Code review, architecture audit, stack selection, AI feasibility, technical due diligence for an acquisition. A clear written report you can act on — before you commit budget or sign.

Why us

Why hand it to a small senior studio.

Three ways teams usually get software built — and where each one quietly costs you.

Instead of an offshore shop

The person who ships is the person you talk to

No rotating bench, no juniors learning on your budget. The senior who scopes your project is the one who writes it and hands it over.

Instead of an agency

No account managers between you and the work

You talk to the maker, not a layer of project managers marking up junior hours. Fewer people, less telephone game, decisions in hours.

Instead of hiring

Senior capacity in weeks, off in a month

Skip the four-month hunt, the onboarding, and the severance. Turn senior delivery on for the project, then off — no headcount left behind.

You own all the code Clean, documented handover EU-based · GDPR-aware Works in English No vendor lock-in

Three ways in

Start small, or hand us the whole thing.

Pick the engagement that fits where you are. Most partnerships start with one and grow.

Team extension

We join your product as senior hands that don't need managing — sprint by sprint, month after month. Our two longest partnerships have run since 2016 and 2017.

ongoing · monthly

Project delivery

A scoped build from spec to launch: design, development, QA, App Store release, handover. You get working software and a codebase your own team can carry forward.

fixed scope · ~90 days for a v1

Consulting & audits

Short, sharp engagements: a code review, an architecture audit, a stack decision, technical due diligence. You get a written report and a clear recommendation.

1–2 weeks · fixed price

How a project runs

You always know the plan and the price.

No open-ended hourly surprises. Scope and cost are agreed before a line of code is written.

Brief

You tell us what you're building and what "done" looks like. A call, not a form.

Scope

A fixed plan, timeline, and price — in writing — before anything starts.

Build

Weekly builds you can actually tap and try. Progress you can see, not status decks.

Ship

App Store submission, review, and launch — handled end to end.

Handover

The codebase is yours: clean, documented, and ready for your own team.

Our own apps

We ship our own products. That's the bar.

Where we test new frameworks and AI before they reach client work. Download any of the live ones — this is the quality your project gets.

Second Brain

AI memory companion — on-device classification, semantic search, weekly reflections.

Live

Symptio

Health symptom tracker — record in 15s, find patterns, share clear PDF reports.

Live

Ping

Daily check-in for people who live alone. A quiet safety net, only when needed.

Live

Fed?

Pet feeding tracker — one tap per meal, family sync, widgets. Four languages.

Live

NoDiary

Minimalist daily diary — one entry a day, mood tracked by sheep, iCloud sync.

Live

Ashglow

Async social — write a thought into a bonfire, receive sparks from strangers. No chat, no profiles.

Live

In the Name of the Park

Walk the city, collect parks as pixel-art cards. Free on the App Store.

Live

Walked?

Dog walking tracker — one tap logs the walk, family sync, widgets. No GPS, just walked or not.

Live

Cozy virtual aquarium — feed, clean, breed 24+ species. No ads, and fish never die.

Live

Unshare

On-device photo toolkit — develops your photos' EXIF, colors, and light into film-style cards.

2023

Acquired

Not just apps — a company

We co-founded Mooova, scaled it across Europe, and sold it.

An instant transport & bulky-waste app shipped to 18 cities across Sweden, Germany, and Spain, then acquired in 2023. Building a company to exit is a different kind of proof than a portfolio screenshot — it means the work held up under real users, real operations, and real due diligence.

Before you email

The questions we usually get first.

What does a project cost?

Projects are quoted at a fixed price against a scoped plan, so you know the number before we start. Consulting and audits are fixed-fee too. Send a short brief and you'll get a real estimate, not a "let's jump on a call" runaround.

How fast can you ship?

A focused v1 typically takes around 90 days from settled spec to App Store. Audits and reviews turn around in one to two weeks. We'll give you a real timeline in the scope, not an optimistic guess.

Do I own the code?

Entirely. You own the repository, the accounts, and the IP. Handover is clean and documented so your own team — or the next developer — can pick it up without us.

You're in Finland — does timezone work?

We work with clients across Europe, the Americas, and Asia. We're EU-based (CET), communicate in English, and are used to async collaboration and overlapping-hours calls.

What if I only need advice, not a build?

That's the consulting track. A code review, an architecture opinion, or an AI-feasibility study, delivered as a written report — no obligation to hand us the build afterward.

Contact

Tell us what you're building.

A senior partner will read it — not a sales funnel. Send a few lines about the project and you'll get a straight answer on fit, timeline, and cost. You'll be working with Lemon Xie, who has built native iOS for ten years — from Objective-C to SwiftUI.
