See your app idea designed free before you pay

Not at all. You don't need to know anything technical. You bring the idea and the vision for your business; we handle all the building, and we explain everything in plain English along the way.

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'll have the designs in hand to keep. If you love them, we build it. If not, you owe nothing. It's the easiest way to see exactly what you'd be getting, completely risk-free.

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. No accounts to manage; it lives at a link you can share anywhere and works on every device. You own 100% of the code. And like every package, it comes with a free logo and business cards if you need them. 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.

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.

No problem — we'll figure that out on the call. For bigger apps we'll point you to the right option, or we can build your core app first and add to it from there. We'd rather plan it honestly than over-promise.

Just about anything — websites and web apps, mobile apps for iPhone and Android, AI tools, booking and scheduling apps, customer portals, internal tools that replace spreadsheets and manual work, and more. If it lives on a screen, we can build it. We've made everything from a family caregiver app to a property tax advisor to software that landed a Fortune 500 deal in its first month.

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, not a junior contractor you've never met.

Yes, completely. When we hand off your app, all of it is yours — no lock-in and no ongoing dependency on us unless you want it.

No. We build custom apps with real, raw code — JavaScript, React, Firebase, and other standard tools — so any other engineering team can pick up right where we left off. You're never locked in.

It's yours to run. If you'd like us to keep improving it, add features, or stay on as your ongoing development team, plenty of clients do — but it's entirely up to you. There's no required support contract.

We fix any bugs free for 30 days after your app is delivered. After that, any new work or ongoing maintenance is just $35/hour — no retainer, no minimums. You only pay for what you actually need.

The flat rate covers design and building your app. The only extras are things like hosting and a web address, paid directly to those providers (usually $10–50/month). We'll tell you exactly what to set up and walk you through it.

It's paid up front to get started. If you'd rather spread it out, we can split it into weekly payments instead — whatever works better for you. Either way, nothing is due until after your free call, once you've decided to move forward.

We keep refining until it's right. You'll see the designs before we write any code, and you'll have a live preview link throughout so you can give feedback as we go. Our goal is an app you're genuinely proud of — if something's off, we fix it.

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 help you turn it into a clear build package. No pitch deck required.
