Built for the phone your user actually owns.
Android is not one platform — it is a spread of hardware, Android versions and battery managers that each have an opinion about your background work. We build for that spread, and prove it on real devices.
- Senior engineers only
- NDA before day one
- Your Play account
- Kotlin + Compose

Illustration — the real matrix comes from your own analytics.
Four kinds of Android app
A consumer app and a warehouse scanner app share a language and almost no constraints.
A thousand devices you will never hold.
Public apps where the long tail of cheap hardware, old Android versions and aggressive battery managers decides your crash rate — not your Pixel.
- Low-end device budgets
- Aggressive OEM battery handling
- Play policy and data safety
- Staged rollout with halt criteria
Six things that decide an Android app's rating
None of them are visible in a design file, and all of them show up in your crash dashboard.
Kotlin and Jetpack Compose
A modern Android codebase your next hire will recognise — Compose UI, coroutines, and architecture that survives a feature pivot.
- Compose and Material 3
- Coroutines / Flow
- Modularised by feature
Works without a network
Local database first, sync second, with conflict rules decided up front rather than discovered in the field.
- Room / SQLite as source of truth
- Queued writes and retries
- Explicit conflict rules
Background that survives OEMs
WorkManager, foreground services and the per-manufacturer exceptions that decide whether your sync actually runs.
- WorkManager scheduling
- Foreground service UX
- OEM battery-saver handling
Notifications that land
FCM with channels, permissions and delivery you can verify — because "the user didn't get it" is usually a configuration problem.
- Channels and permission flow
- FCM delivery diagnostics
- Quiet hours and grouping
Performance on cheap hardware
Startup time, jank and memory measured on the devices your users actually own, not the one on your desk.
- Baseline profiles
- Startup and jank traces
- Low-end device test matrix
Release engineering
Signed builds, tracks, staged rollout and the ability to stop a bad release before it reaches everyone.
- Internal / closed / open tracks
- Staged rollout and halt
- Crash-gated promotion
What happens between a tap and a store rollout
Three lanes that have to agree, or the app loses data and the release goes out anyway.
- Play Integrity
- App Bundles
- Baseline profiles
- WorkManager
- Room offline cache
- Compose previews
The same four steps, every time
So you always know what happens next, what it costs and when you'll hold a build.
Product review
A free 30-minute call with a senior engineer. We look at what the app must do offline and which devices your users actually carry.
Fixed-scope proposal
Screens, integrations, device matrix, timeline and cost in writing within 5 business days.
Build in the open
Short cycles with an installable build every week, on the internal track, on real devices.
Launch and look after it
Staged rollout, crash monitoring and the same team shipping the next version.
Pick what fits where you are
Fixed-scope build
RecommendedA defined app with a written scope, timeline and price.
- Best when
- Features and integrations are settled.
- You get
- Scope, device matrix and a fixed price before work starts.
Dedicated team
Senior engineers as an extension of your team, month to month.
- Best when
- The product is still changing shape.
- You get
- A named team, weekly builds, re-planning each sprint.
Rescue an existing app
A live Android app reviewed honestly — crashes, ANRs, build setup, store standing — then fixed or rebuilt.
- Best when
- Ratings are falling or releases are frightening.
- You get
- A crash and code review, a risk list, then fixes in order.
Real clients. Work you can check.
Verified client testimonials will be published after approval from our clients. Until then, here's what we built — and where you can see it live.
No invented reviews or ratings — only clients you can verify.
Questions about Android projects
Still unsure? Ask us directly — a senior engineer replies within one business day.
Kotlin, unless we are maintaining an existing Java codebase where a rewrite is not justified. New work uses Kotlin with Jetpack Compose, which is what Google's own tooling and most Android hiring now assumes.
Tell us which device your app misbehaves on.
