(01) App Store
Your AI-built app,on the App Store and Google Play.
Lovable, Bolt and v0 build web apps, and Apple turns down apps that are only a website in a frame. I build the real iOS and Android apps on the backend you already have, in React Native, Flutter or native code, and take them through store review.

(02) Sounds familiar
Signs you needa real mobile app.
Apple said no
Your wrapped website was rejected because it doesn't do enough beyond what the website already does.
Customers keep asking
People want it on their home screen, with notifications, and a link in the store they already trust.
Payments get complicated
You sell a subscription and aren't sure which payments Apple and Google allow inside the app.
Your AI tool can't do it
The builder makes screens for the web. Builds, signing, store listings and review are left to you.
(03) What it covers
What a store-ready app needs.Planned before I build.
The right technology
React Native, Flutter or native Swift and Kotlin, chosen for your app and your team, not by habit.
Your backend, kept
The app talks to the Supabase, Firebase or API you already run, with the same users and data as the web app.
Sign-in
Email, Google and Sign in with Apple where the rules call for it, and accounts people can delete from inside the app.
Payments
Which purchases go through the stores and which can stay on Stripe, set up so review doesn't stall on them.
Notifications
Push notifications set up on both platforms, sent from your backend when something happens.
Store listings
Screenshots, descriptions, privacy answers and a privacy policy, ready for both stores.
Review
Test builds for you first, then submission, answers to reviewer questions and fixes until it's approved.
Releases you can repeat
Builds and uploads automated, so the next update ships in minutes instead of an afternoon.
The apps are published under your own Apple and Google developer accounts. If you don't have them yet, I set them up with you and they stay yours: Apple charges $99 a year and Google $25 once.
(04) How it works
Plan, build, launch.Each one priced before it starts.
S/01Plan
I read your web app and backend and write up what the mobile app needs, which technology suits it and what to cut. If I build it, the fee comes off the build.
$500 – $1,500
Quoted by app size, report in 3 to 5 days.
S/02Build
The iOS and Android apps, with a test build every week on your phone, then store review until both are live.
From $6,000
A first version, designed and launched.
S/03Keep it healthy
If you want, a monthly plan for updates, new OS versions, store rule changes and small features.
From $800 / month
Automations watched and tuned, plus fixes and updates. Cancel any month.
(05) What you keep
Your code, your accounts.Nothing held back.
Your repository
The code lives in a GitHub repository that's yours, with its full history: your own from the first commit, or one I set up and transfer to you. You can watch every change land.
Your accounts
Hosting, database, payments and app store accounts belong to you. If you have them, you invite me; if not, I set them up for the project and transfer each one to you at handover.
One engineer
The person on the first call is the person who writes the code. Nothing is handed to a junior or passed to another company.
A clean handover
Notes on how it works and how to deploy it, so you or any developer can carry on without me. Monthly plans cancel any month.
The code and designs are legally yours once each invoice is paid. Read the terms
(06) Proof
From my own work,so you can check it.
A trading app, from an empty repo
I built the Unlok app for US stocks and ETFs as its only mobile engineer, and took it through App Store and Google Play review.
Unlok mobileReleases on autopilot
Unlok's builds go to TestFlight and Google Play automatically, so a release doesn't wait for a free afternoon.

(08) Questions
What founders askbefore we start.
Can I just wrap my Lovable app and submit it?
Sometimes it gets through, often it doesn't: Apple turns down apps that are mostly a website in a frame. A real app built on your existing backend passes review and feels right on a phone, and the web app keeps working as it does today.
React Native, Flutter or native: which will you use?
Whichever suits the app. React Native shares the most with a React web app, Flutter is a good fit when the design is very custom, and native Swift and Kotlin suit apps that lean hard on the phone's hardware. The plan says which, and why.
Do I need a new backend?
Usually not. The mobile app uses the same Supabase, Firebase or API as your web app, so users sign in with the same account and see the same data. If the audit finds security holes in the backend, those get fixed first.
How much does it cost?
The plan is $500 – $1,500, fixed, and comes off the build if you go ahead within 30 days. The build is quoted from the plan, from $6,000, half upfront and half on launch.
How long does store review take?
Apple usually reviews within a day or two; Google can take a few days for a new app, and new personal Google Play accounts must run a closed test before launch. I plan for both in the timeline.
