Mobile apps with native performance, single codebase
We build cross-platform mobile applications using React Native that run natively on both iOS and Android. Beautiful interfaces, offline-first architecture, and seamless backend integration.
One codebase. Two platforms. Native experience.
With over 80% mobile penetration across East Africa, your business needs a mobile presence that works flawlessly — regardless of whether users are on iOS or Android, on fast 4G or slow 2G, or offline in a remote area.
We build with React Native — Meta's battle-tested cross-platform framework used by apps serving billions of users (Facebook, Instagram, Shopify). It delivers true native performance while dramatically reducing development time and cost compared to building separate native apps.
Every app we build is engineered for the African market: offline-first data architecture, M-Pesa and mobile money integrations, optimized for low-end Android devices, and built for the specific workflows of your industry.
Everything you need, nothing you don't
Every capability is purpose-built to deliver measurable results for your business.
Cross-Platform Development
One React Native codebase deploys to both iOS and Android. Share 95%+ of code while delivering platform-specific UI conventions users expect.
Offline-First Architecture
Apps that work seamlessly without internet. Local storage syncs automatically when connectivity returns — critical for field workers and rural areas.
Mobile Money Integration
Native M-Pesa (Vodacom), Airtel Money, Tigo Pesa, Halopesa, and international card payment integrations. C2B, B2C, and STK push flows.
Push Notifications
Targeted push notifications via Firebase Cloud Messaging and APNs. In-app notifications, deep links, and notification scheduling.
Location & Maps
Real-time GPS tracking, geofencing, route planning, and map visualization using Google Maps SDK and Mapbox for delivery, field, and logistics apps.
Device Hardware Integration
Camera (photo/video/QR/barcode scanning), biometric auth, NFC, Bluetooth, accelerometer, and file system access — full native device capability.
In-App Analytics
Embedded usage analytics, crash reporting (Sentry), custom event tracking, and A/B testing to understand how users interact with your app.
Security & Authentication
JWT authentication, biometric login, encrypted local storage, certificate pinning, and anti-reverse-engineering measures for sensitive apps.
OTA Updates
Over-the-air updates via Expo EAS. Push JavaScript updates to users instantly without requiring App Store review — faster iteration cycles.

Everything documented, packaged, and handed over — no ambiguity.
