Booking that isn't a DM
Real-time availability per staff member and per room. Deposits, cancellation windows, and reminders that actually cut no-shows.
Taking three builds this month
Your app, built before you hire us.
We build custom iOS and Android apps for service businesses — booking, catalog, payments, customer records. We build yours first, at no cost, and show you it running on a real phone. You only pay if you want to keep it.
No deck. No discovery call. A working app in five days.

Process
We do the
work first.
Most agencies sell you a proposal and a timeline. We'd rather build the thing and let you hold it.
Start yours →01
You fill out one form
Two minutes. Your business, what you sell, and what's broken about booking today. No call required — we pull your branding straight off your site.
02
We build it in five days
Your logo, your colours, your actual service list, running on a real backend. Not a mockup and not a Figma file — an app you install and use.
03
You keep it or you don't
We send a three-minute walkthrough and a TestFlight link. If it isn't obviously worth it, we shake hands and part ways. No invoice, no follow-up sequence.
04
We launch and run it
Published under your own App Store account, in your name. We handle the backend, the security, and the platform updates Apple and Google demand twice a year.
Your part
About an hour
of your time.
The app has to be published under your own accounts — that's what makes it yours rather than ours. Here is every single thing we need from you, and what it costs.
Fill out the form
Free2 min
Your business, your website, and what's broken about booking today. We pull your branding and service list ourselves.
Open an Apple Developer account
$99/year15 min
In your business's name, on your card — this is the step that makes the app legally yours. Then add us in App Store Connect under Users & Access as an App Manager, and we handle builds, screenshots, listing copy, submission and review replies.
Open a Google Play account
$25 once15 min
Only if you want Android. Same arrangement — you add us as a Release Manager. We turn on Play App Signing so Google holds the master key, because whoever holds that key controls every future update.
Send your service list
Free10 min
A PDF, a spreadsheet, or just a link to your site. Pricing, durations, and anything sold as a package, series or membership. This is the one thing we can't guess at.
Sign a BAA
Free5 min
Only if you're a healthcare business and the app will hold patient data. We send it, you sign it, and it's in place before a single record exists. Any vendor who tells you this is optional is one to walk away from.
Two short calls
Free~45 min
One to walk through the demo, one to sign off before we submit to the stores. If you'd rather do it over email, that's fine too.
That's the entire list. Everything else — the build, the backend, the security, the store listing, the screenshots, the review process, and the platform updates Apple and Google demand twice a year — is on us.
What you get
Everything a service business needs.
Nothing it doesn't.
Built on the same stack the serious apps run on, and published under your own name.
01
02
Your catalog
Every service or product with pricing, duration and prep notes. Packages, series and memberships tracked automatically — no spreadsheet.
03
Payments and deposits
Cards on file, deposits at booking, tipping, and automatic receipts. Stripe under the hood, so payouts land where they already do.
04
Built to keep data safe
Encrypted in transit and at rest, access enforced per customer at the database level, every read logged. If you handle health data, we sign a BAA first.
05
Owner dashboard
Revenue, rebook rate, no-show rate, and which services actually drive repeat business. On the web, not buried in the app.
06
Updates without the wait
New pricing, new service, new copy — pushed to every phone the same day, without sitting in an App Store review queue.
5
Business days from form to a working demo in your hands
6
Weeks, typically, from first contact to live in the App Store
100%
Of the store listing is owned by you, in your business's name
Is the free demo actually free?
Yes, and there's no catch worth hiding. We build a working version of your app before you've paid us anything because it's a far better pitch than a slide deck. We only take three builds a month, so being selective about who we build for is the real filter. If you see it and pass, you owe us nothing.
Who owns the app?
You do. It's published under your own Apple and Google developer accounts, in your name, and you control the listing. We build it, submit it, and host the backend that powers it. If you ever leave, you keep the store listing and we hand over a complete export of your data.
What kinds of businesses do you build for?
Service businesses where customers book time or buy from a set list — clinics and med spas, gyms and studios, salons and barbers, dentists and vets, trades and home services, restaurants, tutoring, and professional services. If your customers currently book by phone, DM or a clunky web widget, the app is worth building. If you're a marketplace or a social network, we're the wrong shop.
How long until it's live?
Your demo is ready in five days. Once you sign, a full build runs three to five weeks depending on scope, plus one to three days for Apple's review. Most businesses are live within six weeks of the first conversation.
Will it work with our current booking software?
Often, yes. If you're on a system with a real API, we can sync availability both ways. If you're on something closed, the honest answer is that the app becomes your booking system and we migrate your catalog over. We'll tell you which one you're facing on the first call, not after you've signed.
What if we want changes after launch?
Copy changes, pricing updates, new services and bug fixes are covered by the retainer and usually ship the same day. Larger new features are quoted separately before any work starts — you will never get a surprise invoice from us.
Do we need to handle the App Store submission?
No. You open the developer accounts in your name and add us as a manager — about fifteen minutes of your time. We do the builds, screenshots, listing copy, submission, and any back-and-forth with Apple's reviewers.
Three slots this month
Let's build yours.
Fill out the form. In five days you'll be holding your business's app. If it's not for you, that's a perfectly good outcome too.
