Pikett Apps
On your phone in two days.
iOS and Android apps, built native and taken all the way through store review. A new test build lands on your phone every day. You pay once, when the stores accept it.

01What we make
Apps, and the parts after.
iOS apps
Native, in SwiftUI.
Android apps
Native, in Kotlin and Jetpack Compose.
Cross-platform
Only where the product suits it. We say which on the call.
Widgets
Home-screen widgets that keep their last data when the signal drops.
Notifications and deep links
Sent at the right moment, opening the right screen.
Native shells
An app around the web product you already have, with offline states and native tab bars.
Backend and APIs
The server your app talks to, or a clean connection to yours.
Store work
Listings, screenshots, privacy details, submission, and answers for the reviewers.
02How it’s billed
The stores are the finish line.
The Deal: fixed price, nothing up front, one invoice after you approve. Finished means live in both stores, or approved and waiting for your release date.
If a store rejects our build, that’s ours to fix. If it rejects your business, say a licence or a regulated feature, approval isn’t held up. The app is finished once it passes every scope test and is submitted.
We publish under our own developer accounts, so you don’t set anything up. Want it under yours? We publish there instead, or invite you into our dashboard.
Yours on payment
- The app, live in the App Store and Google Play
- The source code and the design files
- The store listing assets
- A build pipeline, so the next release is one command
03How it runs
One to three weeks.
- 01

Daily builds
A new build, a recording and a three-line note: done, next, needed from you.
Every day
- 04
Store review
We submit and answer the reviewers. You check the build against the scope.
Usually a few days

Live, or approved and waiting for your date. Everything handed over. Then 60 days of free fixes.
The day you approve
04Good to know
Native, web apps, new iOS.
Native or cross-platform?
Native by default: SwiftUI on iOS, Kotlin on Android. Cross-platform when the product suits it. We say which, and why, on the fit call.
We already have a web app. Do we have to rebuild it?
Not always: a proper app around your web product can be the right answer. Native tab bars, offline states, widgets, notifications. We’ll tell you which parts are worth building natively.
What happens when a new iOS or Android ships?
Apple and Google release new versions every year. Under Pikett Care, your app is updated for them. Without Care, each update is quoted as its own fixed-price job.
