Your SaaS users are on their phone for 4 hours a day. Meet them there.
We build companion mobile apps for SaaS products — the native iOS and Android experience that extends your web application to where your users actually spend their time. Fixed scope, fixed price.
Mobile users are churning from your web SaaS because the responsive design is functional but not delightful. A native companion app with push notifications, offline capability, and touch-first UX changes your mobile retention metrics.
Most SaaS products are built web-first, and that's correct — the full-featured product with complex dashboards, admin settings, and data-heavy workflows makes sense on a large screen. But the mobile use case for your SaaS is different from the desktop use case, and responsive design doesn't solve that difference.
Your desktop SaaS might be a project management tool. The desktop use case is viewing dashboards, configuring settings, and building reports. The mobile use case is checking in on a task, approving an item, or getting a notification that something needs attention. Those are different interactions — approvals and quick actions need to be one-tap flows on mobile, not a five-tap navigation through a responsive desktop layout.
The SaaS products with best-in-class mobile retention — Slack, Notion, Linear, Loom — all have native apps. Not because they had to, but because the native push channel and the touch-native UX changed retention for mobile-primary users. Users who have the mobile app have measurably better retention than users who only ever accessed via browser — they're more likely to return the next day, more likely to complete their first high-engagement action, and less likely to churn.
Your mobile-primary users — sales reps, field teams, managers who check their metrics on the go — are a segment with different needs than your desktop power users. Building for them specifically is a segment play, not an afterthought.
A native mobile companion for your SaaS — key workflows optimised for touch, push notifications for the actions that matter, offline data access, and the App Store presence your competitors already have.
Key workflow surfaces for touch
The 3 to 5 actions your mobile users actually need — task approval, quick create, status check, record update — designed as native mobile flows, not responsive wrappers.
Push notifications for the moments that matter
Configurable notification types per user: @mentions, status changes, assignment notifications, deadline reminders, and approval requests. With user-level controls for opt-in and frequency.
Offline read access
The data your mobile users need when they're not on Wi-Fi — project lists, task details, records — available offline with a clean sync when connectivity returns.
Biometric auth and session handling
Face ID and fingerprint login for fast re-access, with configurable session length to match your security requirements.
Deep linking from push to context
A notification about a specific task opens the task. A notification about an approval opens the approval request. Deep linking makes every push notification useful, not just informative. Built with Expo and React Native, sharing the same Convex or REST backend your web app uses, with a push layer via Expo notifications or OneSignal.
One honest number to start.
Fixed-scope, fixed-price. The number below is the starting point — final scope is built from your brief.

Three steps, every time.
The same repeatable engagement on every project. No surprises, no mystery, no billable ambiguity.
Brief & discovery.
We send you questions, then get on a call. Output: a written scope with every step, feature, and integration listed.
Build & ship.
Fixed schedule, weekly reviews. No scope creep unless you change the scope — and if you do, we reprice it transparently.
Warranty & retainer.
30-day warranty on every launch. Most clients stay on a monthly retainer for ongoing features and maintenance.
Why Fixed-Price Matters Here
SaaS companies are accustomed to running their own product development with a clear roadmap and sprint velocity. Adding a mobile build shouldn't change that — fixed scope, fixed price, with the delivery date aligned to your sprint calendar and product releases.

The app uses your existing backend APIs. We build the React Native frontend that calls your current endpoints. If the existing API doesn't have the right endpoints for some mobile-specific flows, we add them — but you don't need a separate mobile backend.
We support your current auth provider — Clerk, Auth0, Firebase Auth, or custom JWT. Existing users log in with their existing credentials on mobile. No new accounts or migration needed.
Apple's review averages 24 to 48 hours. Google Play is typically faster (a few hours). We build the submission materials (screenshots, descriptions, metadata) into the delivery checklist.
A companion app with 3 to 5 mobile-optimised flows, push notifications, offline access, and biometric auth typically runs $50k–$90k. Scope varies with the number of distinct workflows and backend API complexity. Fixed-price.
Yes — after the initial build, we offer ongoing engagement for mobile feature additions. The codebase is structured for feature extension without architecture rewrites.
