Discovery Phase
We spend the first few weeks understanding what you actually need, not just what you think you want. Often saves months of rework later.

Started in 2019 with three developers and a shared belief: mobile apps should solve real problems, not create new ones. Six years later, we're still testing every feature ourselves before shipping.
Back in early 2019, we were freelancing separately. Each of us kept hitting the same wall—clients wanted quick launches, but rushed apps always came back with problems. Crashes during peak usage. Features that looked good in demos but confused actual users.
So we decided to try something different. We'd work together, take our time getting things right, and only build apps we'd actually use ourselves. Turned out a lot of businesses wanted that approach too.
Now we're a team of twelve, still based in Courtenay. We still test everything ourselves first. And we still turn down projects when timelines don't allow for proper quality work.
These aren't just words on a page. They're the standards we hold ourselves to every single day.
Every feature gets used by our team for at least a week before clients see it. We find the bugs so your users don't have to.
No jargon, no runaround. If something's taking longer than expected, we tell you why and what we're doing about it.
We're still maintaining apps we built in 2020. When operating systems update, your app should too—and we make sure it does.
The people who turn ideas into working mobile applications.
Been coding since 2014. Specializes in performance optimization and finding bugs before they reach production. Previously worked on navigation systems for marine applications.
Keeps projects moving without the chaos. Worked in logistics for eight years before joining us in 2021. Makes sure deadlines are realistic before anyone commits to them.
We don't follow trendy methodologies. We use what actually works based on building dozens of apps over the past six years.
Most projects take between three and seven months, depending on complexity. We break everything into two-week cycles so you can see progress regularly and adjust direction if needed.

You get working versions every two weeks. Try them, break them, tell us what's wrong. We fix it before moving forward.
Before launch, we test on actual devices people use—not just the newest phones. Your app needs to work for everyone, not just early adopters.
