Mobile Apps

Two ways to put your
system in a pocket.

Some products need a true native app. Most business systems just need to be on the phone, branded and installable. We do both — and we'll tell you honestly which one your project needs.

Fully native
Kotlin · Jetpack Compose

Built from scratch as an Android application. Everything runs on the device — the database, the PDF generation, the backups — so the app works with no network at all. This is the right choice when the app must be fast, offline, or deeply integrated with the phone's hardware.

Works with zero connectivity
Adapts from phone to tablet layouts
Camera, printing, file storage and share sheets

App shell
Android + iOS from one build

Your web platform, packaged inside a real native app — its own icon, splash screen and store listing. One codebase produces both the Android and iOS builds, so you get two apps for close to the effort of one, and updates ship without waiting on store review.

Installable APK, or published to Play Store & App Store
Push notifications, camera and file access available
Same login and data as the web version — always in sync
Available for all five web products

Straight answer

Is an app shell a "real" app?

Yes — it installs, it has an icon, it runs full screen, it appears in the app stores, and it can use the phone's camera, files and notifications. What it isn't is a second codebase written separately for each platform: the screens are rendered from your web application inside a native container.

For staff-facing business systems — a booking desk, a service counter, a billing screen — that distinction makes no practical difference to the people using it, and it saves you from paying to build and maintain the same features three times over.

Where it does matter — heavy offline use, intensive graphics, tight hardware integration — we'll say so and build native instead. We'd rather scope it right than oversell it.

Practical bits

What publishing actually needs.

No surprises later — here's what's involved in getting an app into the stores under your name.

Play Store account

A one-time Google Play developer registration in your business name. We handle the build, signing and submission.

Apple Developer account

Required for iOS, renewed yearly. Apple's review is stricter and slower than Google's — worth planning for.

Your brand assets

Logo, app icon and preferred colour. If you don't have them, we'll design them as part of the build.

Or skip the stores

For internal staff apps, we can hand you a direct-install APK instead — no store account, no review, no wait.

Available now

Every product already
installs like an app.

Before any store submission, all five web products can be added to a phone's home screen straight from the browser. Full screen, own icon, no address bar — enough for most teams, and available from the day you go live.
