Our Work
Work we're proud ofRecent Builds
A look at recent native iOS apps we've designed and built.
Quewd
A social and agency platform built end-to-end for a creator client — profiles, content and the tools to run a creator business in one place, live at quewd.com.
Peptide Hub
Our own product in build: a research-peptide tracking app with a reconstitution calculator, dose scheduling, reminders and progress charts — pure SwiftUI, end to end.
Manyweathers Properties
A full estate agency website for Manyweathers Properties — valuations, lettings and a six-step sales process, built to sync listings straight from their agency software.
AP Gyms
A complete gym companion in build: workout tracking, training plans, progress charts, streaks and PBs — everything you'd expect from the big gym apps, built native and coming soon.
Waypoint
Our own concept for city discovery — curated trails, saved spots and quiet check-ins, designed to show what a content-led consumer app can feel like in native Swift.
The Studio
Small studio.
Serious software.
How we work
Design to App Store, one pair of hands.
Design, Swift and backend all happen in one place in Kent. No handovers, no account managers — just fast decisions and full commitment from first sketch to launch.
Velocity
Shipped in weeks, not quarters.
One person owns design, code and release, so decisions happen in minutes. Most builds go from first call to the App Store in 4 to 8 weeks.
Standards
App Store-ready from the first build.
Every screen follows Apple's Human Interface Guidelines and App Store review rules from day one, so launch is a formality, not a fight.
Ownership
Your code. Your app. Your call.
No white-label lock-in, no per-user fees. When we ship, the source code and the App Store listing are yours outright.

Who you'll work with
One founder. No handovers.
I'm Max, the founder of Appro Digital. When you work with us, you work with me. No account managers, no offshore team, no explaining your business twice.
I design and build native iOS apps because that's where great apps come from: one person who understands your business, writing every line of code that runs it.
You'll have my direct number from day one. That's not a perk, it's how this is supposed to work.

FAQs
Everything you need to knowQuestions
Everything you need to feel confident about working together.
1. Why not just use an app builder or white-label app?
Template and white-label apps look like everyone else's, lock you into monthly per-user fees and you never own the code. We build yours from scratch in native Swift and you own everything.
2. How long does an app take to build?
Most apps ship in 4 to 8 weeks depending on scope. You see working builds on your own phone throughout, not just at the end.
3. Do you handle App Store submission?
Yes, end to end. Listing copy, screenshots, review process and release. Your app goes live under your own developer account, so you stay in control.
4. Can it integrate with my existing systems?
In most cases, yes. We scope integrations with your current booking, payment or CRM systems during the discovery call and tell you plainly what is and is not possible.
5. Who owns the app?
You do. Full source code handover is included in every tier. If we ever part ways, you keep the app, the code and the App Store listing.
