Swift apps, shipped
to the App Store.

SwiftUI apps as companions to your web platform, or standalone products. Widgets, App Clips and Live Activities where they earn their place, never as box-ticking.

What I do

Native iOS Development

SwiftUI apps as companions to your web platform, or standalone products. Widgets, App Clips and Live Activities where they earn their place, never as box-ticking.

SwiftUI & UIKit

Modern, maintainable interfaces - with UIKit interop where it matters.

WordPress-connected

Apps that share a backend with your existing WordPress or Woo platform.

Widgets & Live Activities

Home-screen, Lock Screen and Dynamic Island experiences that get used.

App Store delivery

TestFlight, review, privacy nutrition labels - the whole release pipeline.

In depth

Native iOS apps, from idea to App Store.

Native, not cross-platform

I build in Swift and SwiftUI, Apple’s own language and frameworks. Native apps are faster, feel at home on iPhone and iPad, and can use new iOS features the day they ship - widgets, Live Activities, Shortcuts and more. There’s no cross-platform layer in the way, and nothing to wait on when Apple changes something.

I ship my own apps too

Alongside client work, I design, build and run a growing collection of my own apps on the App Store, from company search to bin-day reminders and health tracking. That means I handle the whole lifecycle myself: App Store review, subscriptions, privacy labels, crash reports, support emails and updates for every new version of iOS.

Apps that work with your platform

Most apps need a backend. I can connect your app to an existing WordPress or WooCommerce site or a custom PHP API, or build the backend from scratch - one source of truth for your web and mobile customers.

The whole release pipeline

TestFlight betas, App Store Connect, screenshots, privacy nutrition labels, in-app purchases and subscriptions, and the back-and-forth with App Review. You get an app that’s live on the App Store, not just a build that works on my phone.

Looked after after launch

Every September brings a new iOS release, new devices and new APIs. I can keep your app up to date, fix issues as they’re reported and add features over time, so it doesn’t quietly fall behind.

Good to know

Questions, answered.

Do you build Android too?

No. I build native iOS only, so the apps feel right and ship fast.

Can the app talk to our WordPress site?

Yes. That’s a speciality: shared backend, one source of truth.

Who owns the App Store account?

You do. I publish through your developer account so you keep control.

Do you handle App Store review?

Yes, including TestFlight, privacy labels and the back-and-forth with review.

How much does an iOS app cost?

It depends on what the app needs to do. A focused app with a simple backend costs far less than a large platform with accounts and payments. After a short conversation I’ll give you a fixed proposal so you know where you stand.

Can you add in-app purchases or subscriptions?

Yes, using StoreKit - including free trials, introductory offers and subscription management.

Can you update an app someone else built?

Yes, if it’s written in Swift. I’ll review the code first and tell you honestly whether it’s worth updating or better rebuilt.

Do you build iPad and Mac apps too?

Yes. SwiftUI makes it practical to bring an iPhone app to iPad and Mac, and I build Mac apps of my own.

Got an app idea worth building properly?

Tell me what you’re working on. I’ll tell you straight whether I’m the right person for it.
