What you get

An app built to be used, not just installed

Most apps are deleted within days of being downloaded. So we start from real use: what the person needs to get done, and in how many taps.

  • Product discovery

    Workshops and calls to understand the problem, the users and the business model before a single screen is drawn.

  • MVP first

    A first version with only the essentials, ready to test with real users, instead of months spent on features nobody asked for.

  • iOS, Android or PWA

    We recommend the right format for your case: native apps in the stores, an installable web app, or both.

  • UX and interface design

    A clickable prototype you can try on your own phone and approve before development starts.

  • App Store and Google Play

    Icons, screenshots and descriptions prepared, and submission handled through your company’s developer accounts.

  • Updates and support

    Fixes, operating system updates and new features after launch, planned around what users actually do in the app.

How it works

From idea to published app, step by step

Each phase ends with something you can see and approve, so investment follows what has already been validated.

  1. Discovery and scope

    We map goals, users, features and integrations, and separate what goes into version one from what can wait. That gives you a quote and a schedule.

  2. Prototype and build

    You approve the screens in a prototype, then we develop in short cycles and send test builds to your phone along the way.

  3. Launch and iterate

    Final testing, store submission and usage tracking, so the next round of improvements is decided by data, not guesswork.

About the service

App development: what to know before you start

Native, cross-platform or PWA?

A native app is downloaded from the App Store or Google Play and makes full use of the device: camera, location, push notifications. A progressive web app runs in the browser and can be added to the home screen without going through a store, which makes it easier to distribute and update. Cross-platform approaches produce iOS and Android versions from a single codebase. The right choice depends on who will use the app, which device features it needs and how it will reach people, and we make it together during discovery.

Why start with an MVP

An MVP (minimum viable product) is the smallest version of the app that already solves the user’s main problem. Launching the essentials first lowers the initial investment, shortens the time to market and shows, with real usage, what is worth building next. Teams often discover at this stage that a "must-have" feature is barely used while a simple one becomes the most requested.

Who benefits from an app

  • Startups: validate an idea with an MVP before raising money or scaling.
  • Businesses with repeat customers: bookings, orders, loyalty programs and customer accounts on the phone.
  • Field teams: sales reps, technicians and drivers recording information away from the office.
  • Internal operations: apps that replace spreadsheets, paper forms and scattered messages.

Working with a remote product team

Our app projects for clients outside Brazil run on short, predictable rhythms: a weekly video call to review progress, test builds you install yourself and a shared channel on WhatsApp for quick decisions. Everything is documented in English. If your need can be met more simply by a website, we will tell you before you invest.

FAQ

App development: frequently asked questions

What founders and companies abroad ask before building an app with a Brazilian team.

Still have a question?

Tell a specialist about your idea and find the best path for it, with no commitment.

How much does it cost to build an app?

It depends on the number of screens and user roles, integrations, admin panel and platforms (iOS, Android or PWA). That is why we do not have a price list for apps: the quote is free and comes after we understand the project. Starting with an MVP is the most common way to reduce the initial investment.

How long does app development take?

It varies with scope. An MVP with a few core features is ready well before a full app with several integrations. The schedule for each phase (discovery, prototype, development and launch) is included in the quote.

Do you build apps for both iPhone and Android?

Yes. We build for iOS and Android, as well as progressive web apps that run in the browser and can be added to the home screen. During discovery we recommend the format that best fits your users and budget.

I only have an idea. Can we start from there?

Yes, that is how many projects begin. Discovery exists precisely to turn an idea into a scope: who the users are, what they need to do, what goes into the first version and what comes later.

What is an MVP?

A minimum viable product: the first version of the app with only what is needed to solve the user’s main problem. It lets you launch sooner, spend less up front and decide the next features based on real usage.

Will the app be in my company’s name?

You do. The app is published under your company’s Apple and Google developer accounts, so the listing, reviews and user base are yours. Ownership of the code is set out in writing in the proposal, so you stay in control of the product you paid to build.

Do I have to pay Apple and Google?

Yes. Apple and Google charge their own developer account fees, paid by your company directly to them. We explain these costs in the quote so there are no surprises.

Can the app connect to systems we already use?

In most cases, yes, as long as the system allows data exchange through an API. We assess each integration during discovery, and if the app needs its own back end or admin panel, we build it as part of the project.

How do we work together across time zones?

Our team is on Brazil time (UTC−3), which covers most of the US Eastern business day and the afternoon in the UK and Ireland. We hold a weekly progress call, send test builds you can install and answer day-to-day questions on WhatsApp.

Do you maintain the app after launch?

Yes. iOS and Android release new versions every year and apps need to keep up. We offer maintenance plans covering fixes, compatibility updates and new features.

Do I need an app, or would a website do?

If the goal is to be found on Google and present your company, a website usually works better and costs less. An app makes sense when people will use it often: to order, book, track or record something. We will be honest about which one fits your case.

Where is your team based, and how do I pay?

Our offices are in Campo Grande and São Paulo, Brazil, and international projects are run remotely. Clients abroad pay by credit card, PayPal, Wise transfer or USD bank transfer to our US account, usually in milestones tied to each phase.
