Native, hybrid, or a mobile-first web app: the right build depends on what the app has to do, not on a trend. We design for the phone in the field and the tablet on the floor, then build and ship to both app stores.
We have shipped native iOS and Android apps, hybrid builds, and mobile-first web apps, and we choose between them by what the work demands: hardware access, offline use, real-time updates, or reach. We design the whole experience first, screen by screen, so the app fits the moment someone pulls out their phone. Then we build, launch to the stores, and stay to keep it current as the platforms change. See how we scope it →
The work happens in the field, on the floor, or on the move, and the desktop tool never makes it out there with them.
Push notifications, the camera, offline mode, or a store presence: the browser alone can't reach them.
It shipped years ago, the framework is dated, and every OS update turns into a fresh scramble to keep it running.
Before a line of code, you will have seen every screen and approved the number. Requirements by Design puts the whole app on paper first, the fixed bid is committed in the room, and the build ships to both stores in sprints you can use. See the full method →
Full native builds when the app needs the hardware, the speed, or a first-class store presence.
One codebase across both platforms when that is the faster path to the same result.
A responsive web app when reach matters more than a store install.
Camera, scanners, GPS, Bluetooth devices, and the sensors your workflow depends on.
We handle App Store and Play Store submission, then keep the app current as the platforms move.
The services, sync, and data layer behind the app, built alongside it.
Real apps in real hands, each designed and built by our team.
We built a behavioral-health mobile platform for Community Health Network: native iOS and Android apps, real-time features, and analytics. It grew strong enough to spin out into its own company in 2024.
→ ProofPayK12 lets K-12 schools sell tickets and collect fees online. We re-architected it into a multi-tenant platform with events, ticketing, ProPay payments, and iOS and Android apps.
→ ProofQuillo is a daily training app for the direct-care workforce: a short-video feed and a recommendation engine, across Quillo Pro for staff and Quillo Connect for families. We built it with the team for years, starting in 2016.
→A custom mobile app is one of the four kinds of hard we take on. See where it sits alongside legacy replacements, prototype graduations, and custom AI on What We Build.
