mobile app development
Your app, shipping
every single week.
Native iOS or React Native. Built, released, and kept moving by one senior engineer - not a pipeline of handoffs.
start here
Four situations.
Find yours.
Most people arrive knowing what's wrong with their app, not which package fixes it. Pick the line that sounds like you.
if this is you
“I have an app live and whoever built it is gone.”
It still works, mostly. But nobody is handling OS updates, store releases, or the bugs piling up in review.
start with
App Care. Crash triage, OS updates, and store releases handled on a flat monthly rate.
if this is you
“I have an idea and no technical co-founder.”
A product in your head or a spec on paper, and no one to turn it into something on the App Store.
start with
App Build. Fixed scope, fixed price, 6-10 weeks from kickoff to store submission.
if this is you
“My app is live but it ships far too slowly.”
The roadmap moves in months, releases are an event, and every small change waits on someone else.
start with
App Ship. Unlimited requests, a new build in your hands weekly, store releases included.
if this is you
“I don't know whether I need native or React Native.”
Both stores or just iOS, what it costs either way, and which one your product actually justifies.
start with
Fifteen minutes and you'll have a recommendation with reasons, not a preference.
why it's different
Agencies sell hours.
This sells a shipped app.
You hire the person, not a pipeline
No handoffs between sales, PM, and an outsourced dev team. The person you talk to is the person who designs, builds, and ships your app. Decisions take minutes, not meetings.
Apps are not websites
Mobile means review queues, OS updates that break things, store policies, device fragmentation, and release trains. The packages are built around that reality - store operations and weekly builds are included, because an app that isn't shipping is dying.
Native when it matters, React Native when it's smart
Swift and SwiftUI when you need everything the platform offers. React Native when you need both stores from one codebase. You get a recommendation based on your product, not on what I feel like writing.
Proof, not promises
My own products are live on the App Store - built, shipped, and maintained the exact way yours will be. Read the Mudo case study and judge the work, not the pitch.
how it works
Tell me what you need
A call or a short brief - whatever you have. New idea, half-built app, or a live product that stalled. I'll tell you honestly which package fits, including "none of them."
One thing in progress, always
Work moves through a simple queue. You always know what's being built right now and what's next. No tickets, no account managers - you talk to the person writing the code.
A build in your hands every week
TestFlight or internal builds ship weekly, so progress is something you tap, not a status report you read.
Releases handled end to end
Store listings, screenshots, review compliance, phased rollouts, rejections argued and won. The unglamorous half of mobile development is part of the service, not an extra.

Apps I shipped
the same way.
Designed, built, submitted and maintained solo - through review, rejections, and every OS update since.

Solo-built iOS app, live and at v2.12 - design, code, and every App Store release.

Building for
App Care
You already have an app - maybe the agency that built it is gone - and it needs a steady hand.
- Bug fixes and crash triage
- Every iOS / Android OS update handled
- App Store & Play Store releases done for you
- Small improvements and copy changes
- Dependency and SDK upkeep
- One active request at a time
- Pause or cancel anytime
App Build
You have an idea or a spec and no technical co-founder. You want a shipped product, not a codebase.
- 6-10 weeks from kickoff to App Store
- Product scoping & UX done with you
- Design, development, and testing
- Subscriptions / IAP wired in (StoreKit, RevenueCat)
- App Store submission & review handled
- You own the code, accounts, and IP
- 30 days of post-launch fixes included
App Ship
Most usefulYour app is live and needs to keep moving - features, fixes, releases - without hiring.
- Unlimited requests, one in progress at a time
- New TestFlight / internal build every week
- Store releases as often as it makes sense
- Features, fixes, refactors, and store ops
- ASO & release notes included
- Direct line to the person doing the work
- Pause or cancel anytime - no contracts
Ship Priority
Your app is the business. You need same-week movement on everything, every week.
- Everything in App Ship
- Two requests in progress at a time
- Priority queue - your work starts first
- Private Slack channel with Aditya
- Same-day answers on anything
- Monthly product & roadmap call

Describe my appquestions
Why a subscription for app development?
Because apps are never finished. OS updates land every year, stores change their rules, users find edge cases, and products that stop shipping fall behind. A subscription matches how mobile actually works: continuous, prioritized progress at a predictable cost - instead of a big invoice every time something needs doing.
Native iOS or React Native - which should I pick?
If your users are on iPhone and you want the best possible feel - or you need deep platform features like widgets, App Intents, or on-device AI - go native. If you need iOS and Android from day one on a startup budget, React Native from one codebase is the smart call. If you're unsure, pick "not sure" in the form and I'll recommend one based on your product, with reasons.
What counts as a "request"?
Anything that moves your app forward: a feature, a bug fix, a screen redesign, a store listing update, an analytics question, a refactor. Big features get broken into milestones so you see progress weekly instead of waiting a month for a reveal.
Who owns the code and the accounts?
You do - completely. The code lives in your repository, the apps ship from your developer accounts, and if the engagement ends you lose nothing. No lock-in is a feature of the service, not a risk to it.
I already have an app another team built. Can you take it over?
Yes - that's exactly what App Care is for. Takeovers start with a short paid audit of the codebase so the current state is clear, then the subscription picks it up from there.
How fast do things actually move?
Most requests are delivered within 2-4 business days; larger features ship as weekly milestones. You get a new build every week regardless, so the pace is visible, not promised.
How does one engineer keep pace with an agency?
Leverage. I direct modern AI tooling the way an agency directs its junior developers - except nothing ships without passing through one set of senior hands, and that same person owns the architecture, the releases, and the conversation with you. You get agency-level output without paying for project managers, handoffs, or anyone learning on your codebase.
What if I only need something small, or only one project?
App Build is a one-time, fixed-price engagement with no subscription attached. And if your need is genuinely tiny, tell me anyway - I'd rather point you in the right direction than oversell you a plan.
Can I pause?
Anytime. Billing stops, your remaining days are banked, and your queue is exactly where you left it when you come back. Useful when the roadmap goes quiet after a big release.
next step
Stop managing.
Start shipping.
Three ways in, depending on how sure you are. All of them reach the same person.
