Is 2 weeks actually realistic?+

Yes — for a focused first version with a clear plan. We nail down what we’re building on the call, then move fast as a dedicated team. We’ve done it repeatedly — Kenton at ClearSky was demoing his app to enterprise clients within 2 weeks of starting. If your app is bigger, we’ll tell you upfront and give you an honest timeline.

Do I own the code?+

Yes, completely. When we hand off your app, all of it is yours — code, designs, and IP, fully transferred. We build with standard tools (JavaScript, React, Firebase), so any other engineering team could pick up right where we left off. No lock-in, ever.

What’s the free design, and how does it work?+

First we hop on a quick planning call so we understand exactly what you’re building. Then, usually the next day, we design your app idea for free — real screens, your concept, made by us. You keep the designs either way. If you love them, we build it. If not, you owe nothing.

I’m not technical — is that a problem?+

Not at all. You bring the idea and the vision; we handle all the building, and we explain everything in plain English along the way.

What’s included for $1,997?+

The $1,997 Kickstart is a single-purpose tool — one core feature like a calculator, booking form, quote generator, or quiz, across up to 3 custom-designed screens. It lives at a link you can share anywhere and works on every device. If you need logins, payments, or the app stores, that’s Launch at $3,997 — we’ll figure out the right fit on your free call.

Do you put my app in the app stores for me?+

Yes — Apple App Store and Google Play, both handled by us: listings, screenshots, and the review process. It’s included in every app package, along with logo design if you need one.

Who actually builds my app?+

Senior engineers on our team, based across the US and the Philippines. Tristyn, the founder, spent 10+ years building at Austin startups — including products that raised over $20M and one successful exit. You work directly with the team.

What about ongoing maintenance?+

We fix any bugs free for 30 days after your app is delivered. After that, any new work is just $35/hour — no retainer, no minimums.

Are there any other costs?+

The flat rate covers design and building your app. The only extras are hosting and a web address, paid directly to those providers (usually $10–50/month). We’ll walk you through the setup.

How does payment work?+

Nothing is due until after your free call, once you’ve decided to move forward. Pay up front, or split it into weekly payments — whatever works better for you.

I just have a rough idea — is that enough to start?+

Absolutely. That’s exactly what the free call is for. Come with whatever you have — a sketch, a few sentences, or an app you want to do better than — and we’ll turn it into a clear plan.

What if I’m not happy with it?+

We keep refining until it’s right. You see the designs before we write any code, and you get a live preview link throughout the build. If something’s off, we fix it.

See your app before you pay anything.

One free 20-minute call. The next day you’ll have real designs of your idea — yours to keep, no payment, no commitment.
