Apps that work
where the network
doesn't.

Native iOS, Android, React Native, Flutter and offline-first web apps — engineered for the realities of African connectivity. Your users have older devices, intermittent data, and small budgets. Our apps don't fight any of that.

What's included
  • Product strategy & UX research
  • Native iOS & Android, or cross-platform
  • Offline-first architecture by default
  • M-Pesa & payment gateway integration
  • App Store / Play Store submission
  • Crash monitoring & analytics
  • Post-launch warranty period
Why us

Apps for African networks, not Silicon Valley ones.

Most app frameworks assume a phone with 100MB of free storage and a stable 4G connection. Our users often have neither. We engineer for the conditions that actually exist on the ground.

The result is software that loads in seconds on a 3G connection, syncs cleanly when the user comes back online, and runs on devices three Android versions behind the latest.

01

Offline-first by default

Local-first state, deterministic conflict resolution, and graceful sync. Your users keep working when the matatu loses signal.

02

Lean on data

Aggressive image optimisation, minimal JS payloads, smart caching. Pages load on a 3G handset without your user spending their bundle.

03

Old-device friendly

We support Android 8+ and iOS 14+ as standard — covering the actual install base of East African phones, not just last year's flagships.

04

Payments built in

M-Pesa STK push, paybill, till, B2C — plus card and wallet integrations. Production-grade reconciliation, not demo code.

Capabilities

What we build.

Every screen, on every device profile, in every connection state.

Native iOS

Swift, SwiftUI, full Apple platform integration — push, in-app purchase, App Clips, Apple Pay, ARKit when it makes sense.

Native Android

Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, Material 3 — including Android-only integrations like background services, USSD, and IMEI verification.

Cross-platform

React Native and Flutter when one codebase serves both stores well — plus the discipline to know when a native build is the right answer.

Web apps & PWAs

Next.js, React, TypeScript — responsive, accessible, fast. PWA features for users who shouldn't have to install a heavy app.

Offline-first systems

Local-first architectures with deterministic conflict resolution — for field workers, drivers, surveyors, anyone whose job isn't at a desk.

Payments & identity

M-Pesa Daraja, Stripe, Flutterwave, OTP, biometric onboarding — the integrations every modern African app needs.

How we work

From idea to App Store.

Three executable phases — refined across 50+ shipped products.

01

Discover & design

User research, prototyping in Figma, technical architecture, App Store / Play Store strategy. A clickable prototype within four weeks.

Phase3 – 6 weeks
02

Build & iterate

Two-week sprints, builds you can install on day one, demos every Friday. Production-quality code on shared trunk from sprint zero.

Phase3 – 8 months
03

Launch & iterate

Submission to both stores, beta cohort, telemetry-driven post-launch iteration. Optional managed operations after go-live.

Phase2 – 6 weeks
FAQ

Buyer questions.

The questions enterprise buyers ask us most often before signing.

Native or cross-platform?
Honest answer: it depends. For deeply integrated apps with complex animations or platform-specific features, native. For most B2B and B2C apps, cross-platform (React Native or Flutter) ships faster with no real user-facing trade-off. We'll recommend based on your product, not our preference.
How do you handle App Store / Play Store submission?
End-to-end. We handle developer accounts, metadata, store listings, screenshots, ratings, and review responses to objections. We've shipped to both stores 50+ times — we know the rejection patterns.
Do you build for ChromeOS / KaiOS / feature phones?
PWAs cover ChromeOS and most low-end Android. KaiOS and USSD-based feature-phone experiences we build occasionally — usually for fintech or government engagements where reach to feature-phone users is the whole point.
What about M-Pesa integration?
All of it — STK push, paybill, till, B2C, B2B, transaction status query. Plus the production reconciliation logic that's never in the M-Pesa Daraja docs. We've shipped M-Pesa to scale and have the receipts to prove it.
What's the timeline for an MVP?
A focused mobile MVP typically ships in 12–16 weeks from kickoff. Web apps are usually faster. We'll give you a confident range after a one-week paid discovery sprint.
