Custom iOS app partnerships

We work with small businesses to turn a recurring task into a focused iPhone or iPad app. Start with a real workflow and explore whether an App Store partnership makes sense.

Who this is for

A useful starting point is a task you already manage in Notes, spreadsheets, or messages: custom orders, stock, or field jobs. Bring examples of the steps and the information you need to keep.

Costs and ownership

Our partnership approach can include building an app without an upfront development fee, with the aim of monetising it on the App Store. Acceptance is assessed individually. Scope, commercial rights, source-code ownership, payments, and ongoing support must be agreed in writing before work starts.

How we work together

  1. Describe one workflow, who uses it, and what a successful result would look like.
  2. Agree the smallest useful scope, data storage approach, commercial terms, and support responsibilities.
  3. Review a working prototype together, test the real workflow, and agree the next release steps.

Custom Order Tracker and Inventory For Makers illustrate focused tools for small businesses. The walkthroughs below use illustrative workflows, not measured customer results.

Support and boundaries

We assess fit and capacity before accepting a project. Delivery dates and maintenance commitments are agreed per project. Some apps store everything locally; others use private iCloud for sync and sharing. We explain that choice for the proposed app.
