Work with us
Let's build something women can trust.
We work with founders, clinicians and health ventures to design and build native iOS apps. UK-based, privacy-first, from first conversation to App Store launch.
Who we work with
Ambitious people building products that matter.
Founders & startups
You have a clear vision for a women's health or accessibility app. You need a technical partner who can bring it to life — properly designed, properly built, ready to scale.
Clinicians & researchers
You see a gap in care or a better way to support patients. We translate medical complexity into tools people can actually use, with the language and precision your domain demands.
Employers & corporates
You want to offer real support for women navigating menopause, fertility or other health milestones. We build bespoke apps that integrate with your wellbeing ecosystem.
Health & accessibility ventures
You're building for underserved populations — chronic conditions, neurodiversity, sensory processing disorders. We bring deep care and technical rigour to complex, personal problems.
What we build
Native iOS apps. Designed to be trusted.
New iOS apps
From concept through design, development, testing and App Store launch. Swift, SwiftUI, Apple Watch. Privacy-first architecture, properly tested.
Bespoke & corporate builds
Custom apps for employers, insurers or health programmes. White-label ready, your brand, our engineering discipline.
Health app consulting
Architecture reviews, privacy audits, HealthKit integration, App Store compliance. We help existing teams ship trustworthy health apps.
How it works
A clear path from conversation to launch.
Conversation
We talk through your vision, your users, and what success looks like. No sales pitch — just an honest assessment of fit.
Scope & estimate
We define the work clearly: features, timelines, costs. Fixed-price projects where possible, or retainer for evolving products.
Design
We design the flows, screens and interactions — testing our assumptions early with wireframes and prototypes before we commit to code.
Build & test
Native Swift development. Automated tests. Weekly check-ins. You see working software early and often, not a reveal at the end.
Launch & support
App Store submission, compliance review, launch. Then: monitoring, bug fixes, and a support plan that fits your needs.
What you get
A single accountable contact. Clean code. Apps that ship.
UK-based, onshore
No offshoring. No handovers across time zones. Just clear communication and an accountable partner who picks up the phone.
Privacy by design
On-device data storage. No unnecessary tracking. GDPR compliance baked in. We build apps women can trust with deeply personal information.
Tested, maintainable code
Clean architecture. Unit tests. Snapshot tests. Documentation. The kind of codebase you can hand to another developer in two years.
App Store launch
We guide you through the submission process, compliance requirements, and App Review — then we're still here when it's live.
Accessibility as standard
VoiceOver, Dynamic Type, meaningful labels. Accessibility isn't an add-on — it's how we build from day one.
Fast, focused delivery
Small team, short feedback loops. We ship working software in weeks, not quarters. You see progress, not just status updates.
