how we build

the stack behind your app.

every technology we use is chosen for performance, scalability and long-term maintainability.
core framework
react native
the industry standard for cross-platform mobile development. one codebase that compiles to truly native ios and android — not a web wrapper, not a compromise. used by facebook, shopify, microsoft and thousands of production apps worldwide.
1 codebase
2 platforms
near-native
performance
60fps
animations
import React from 'react-native'

const App = () => {
  return (

      <Text style={styles.heading}>
        built by vivid.
      </Text>
    </View>
  )
}
backend & database
supabase
open-source firebase alternative built on postgresql. real-time database, row-level security, instant rest & graphql apis, built-in auth, edge functions and file storage — all in one platform. scales from zero to enterprise without changing a line of code.

how much does an app cost?

our app build starts from $8,000 for a scoped react native build. the final price depends on complexity, number of screens, integrations and features required. we'll give you a fixed price after a free discovery session — no vague estimates, no day-rate surprises.

how long does it take to build an app?

most apps take between 8–14 weeks from kick-off to app store submission. this covers discovery, design, development, testing and submission. we'll give you a precise timeline in your fixed-price quote based on your specific scope — not a guess.

do I get the source code?

yes — always. the full codebase, all assets, database schemas, figma design files and complete technical documentation are handed over to you on completion. you own everything we build. nothing is held hostage behind an ongoing retainer.

✓ full github repo
✓ figma design file
✓ database schemas
✓ technical docs
✓ all credentials
✓ app store accounts
what's the difference between app build and app management?

app build is a one-time project — we design, build, test and ship your app. app management is an ongoing $200/mo service that keeps it running perfectly after launch — monthly updates, bug fixes, os compatibility, app store management and performance monitoring. most clients take both.

can you build both the app and a website?

absolutely — and we do it all the time. we build in webflow and shopify for web, and react native for mobile. doing both with us means a consistent design system, shared brand assets, a single handover and one point of contact for everything.

✓ webflow websites
✓ shopify stores
✓ react native apps
✓ consistent design system
✓ single point of contact
what if I just have an idea and no brief?

that's how most projects start. our discovery process is specifically designed to take you from idea to a fully scoped project brief. we ask the right questions, challenge assumptions and make sure we're building the right thing before a single line of code is written.

will my app work on older phones?

we target ios 14+ and android 8+ by default which covers over 95% of active devices worldwide. if you need support for older versions we can discuss this during discovery — it may affect scope and timeline.
