App design, development and maintenance

All-Senior Native Engineering. Zero Agency Bloat.

We deploy elite, senior-only strike teams to ship high-performance iOS and macOS architectures at a velocity traditional agencies can’t match. No junior hand-offs, no bloated overhead—just pure product execution.

What the studio does

Move an app from idea to product system, then keep improving it once real users show up.

01

Architectural Excellence

High-performance, low-latency native applications built using modern Swift Concurrency and clean MVVM-C architectures.

02

Deep Ecosystem Integration

Expert implementation of complex native frameworks including HealthKit, MusicKit, and advanced hardware/OS data pipelines.

03

Asset Lifecycle Management

Post-launch risk mitigation ensuring continuous iOS updates, changing App Store compliance policies, and evolving SDK dependencies.

Selected work

Selected work that shows the level of product thinking, craft and follow-through the studio brings to every engagement.

Design tooling

UI Palette Designer

A focused utility for building and exporting colour systems, designed with the same care for workflow, clarity and accessibility.

Creative AI product

PoeticAI

A compact AI product that shows how even smaller app ideas can ship with a clear concept, strong UI judgement and production discipline.

Diagnostics utility

bluetooth.itch

A technical utility shaped by real Bluetooth workflows, where usefulness, speed and technical clarity matter more than feature theatre.

Approach

Clarify the product, build it cleanly, then stay close enough to improve it properly.

01

Shape the scope

Work out what matters now, what should wait, and where product complexity actually earns its place.

02

Design for implementation

Use real UI constraints, platform behaviour and content hierarchy from the start rather than decorating in hindsight.

03

Next-Gen Pipeline Velocity

By deeply integrating agentic AI into our internal codebase management and development pipelines, we eliminate boilerplate friction. We build clean, highly scalable native architectures in half the time of legacy agencies—passing the efficiency and cost-savings straight back to your product budget.

Lifecycle Risk Mitigation

App Store Compliance & Asset Lifecycle Management

Launching is only 20% of the lifecycle. We protect your digital product investment by keeping your codebase optimized for continuous iOS updates, changing App Store compliance policies, and evolving SDK dependencies. We mitigate your post-launch risk so your internal team can focus entirely on growth.

Essential care

For stable apps that need compatibility, oversight and a reliable owner.

From £950/month

  • 4 hours of changes each month
  • iOS and iPadOS release readiness checks
  • SDK, dependency and App Store policy review
  • Minor bug fixing and submission support

Studio partner

For teams that want an ongoing product, design and engineering partner.

From £3,800/month

  • 24 hours of changes each month
  • Priority turnaround and monthly planning
  • Deeper product review across roadmap and releases
  • Coordination with your wider team when needed

What these plans cover

Compatibility work for new Apple OS releases, HIG and accessibility alignment, App Store compliance, localisation maintenance, release preparation and the steady product clean-up that shipped apps always need.

What gets scoped separately

Major new features, backend rebuilds, full redesigns, large-scale localisation projects and urgent out-of-hours work sit outside the monthly allocation and are quoted separately.

Contact

If your app needs strong product judgement, clean execution and support after launch, let's talk.

Itch.studio works from the UK with founders and teams who want Apple-focused apps, thoughtful presentation and reliable follow-through once the product is live, whether that means a new build or an ongoing maintenance retainer.
