Companion Apps
A companion app extends your platform website into a native mobile experience. Your existing content, products, or services become accessible through an app that lives on your customers' home screens — not just their browser tabs.
Built on your site's REST API, companion apps stay in sync with your website automatically. Update a post, change a price, add a product — it shows up in the app without any extra work.
- iOS + Android from one codebase
- Up to 4 screens mirroring your site
- REST API integration
- Push notifications & offline mode as add-ons
- App Store & Play Store submission
- Matches your website branding
- Optional maintenance plan, $150–$300/mo
Business Utility Apps
Standalone apps built around a specific business function. A booking app reduces phone tag. A loyalty app brings customers back. An ordering app handles sales at scale. Purpose-built tools that solve one problem exceptionally well — for your customers or your staff.
Building for a specific industry? Explore apps for restaurants, ecommerce & retail, salons, spas & fitness, contractors & trades, and healthcare & wellness.
API-Connected Apps
Apps that pull live data from external sources — your site, a payment processor, a booking system, or a custom API built specifically for your project.
Whether you need real-time inventory updates, payment processing through Stripe or Square, or integration with your existing CRM, your app gets a connection layer that always has the latest data.
- REST API integration
- Third-party API connections
- Custom back-end development
- Real-time data synchronization
