We've worked with enough operators in Kerikeri to know that the brief that arrives in our inbox is rarely the brief that ends up shipped. The first thing we do on any iOS app development project is sit with your team for a day before we propose anything.
For Kerikeri operators who want a working pilot in weeks, not a year-long programme.
What iOS app development actually does
An iPhone app your customers keep on the first screen. Built native where it matters for speed, camera and offline use, and shipped through App Store review by us rather than left as your problem.
- 01 Native Swift where performance matters, cross-platform where it does not
- 02 App Store review handled end to end, including the rejections
- 03 Sign in with Apple, push, camera and offline handled properly
- 04 TestFlight builds so your team tries it before your customers do
Built on: Swift SwiftUI Expo TestFlight App Store Connect

Why Kerikeri businesses are a fit for this.
- Kerikeri is horticulture, tourism, and a fast-growing lifestyle community - AI here is about connecting orchard, paddock, and storefront.
- Kiwifruit, citrus, and a steady hospitality scene serving the Bay of Islands. AI tools that work in low-signal areas land best.

How we build iOS app development for a Kerikeri team.
We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for your Kerikeri business, so value lands before the build is finished. Native iPhone and iPad apps.
Talk to usThe outcome for Kerikeri teams
We ship to TestFlight in the first fortnight, so you hold the app before you commit to the build. For Kerikeri teams, that almost always shows up as fewer interruptions and a calmer week, not a dashboard chart.
Not your typical AI agency.
Honest about what AI can and cannot do
Ships the one workflow that pays for itself
Hours given back, never the size of the invoice

FAQ
How long does iOS app development take to ship for Kerikeri businesses?
We aim for a working pilot inside 4-6 weeks - narrow scope, real Kerikeri businesses data, measurable outcome. From there it's another 6-8 weeks of hardening before you'd consider it production. Full rollouts (multiple sites, multiple teams) typically land in 3-4 months.
How do you price iOS app development engagements?
Fixed-scope pilots first, then either project pricing or a small monthly retainer for the ongoing work. No long lock-ins, no 18-month black-box deals. Most Kerikeri businesses are surprised how small the first cheque is.
Do you have proof this works for Kerikeri businesses?
Direct case study: We ship to TestFlight in the first fortnight, so you hold the app before you commit to the build. Happy to walk you through full numbers on a call.
Who owns the code and the model setup?
You do, on delivery. We deploy iOS app development into your own cloud account where possible, with the model setup, prompts, evals and integration code all checked into a repo you own. Swift sits in your account too - we don't operate it from ours.
Worth a conversation?
Even if you don't end up working with us, you'll leave the call knowing what's worth building.
