What's included
We don’t hand off wireframes and wish you luck. We own the entire product journey — from first workshop to 30 days post-launch support.
Stakeholder workshops, user research, competitor audit, and feature prioritisation. If you’ve done a Sprint, we pick up where it left off.
Wireframes to visual design to interactive prototype to user testing. Every screen designed around the daily habit.
Habit loops, streak mechanics, intelligent notifications, and micro-interactions. The invisible design that makes users come back tomorrow.
We extend or create the in-app brand identity — ensuring the app feels like a natural extension of your world.
iOS (Swift/SwiftUI) and/or Android development. No cross-platform shortcuts — native performance for the best user experience.
API development, CMS, database architecture, and cloud infrastructure. Built to scale with your audience.
In-app purchases, paywall implementation, subscription management, and analytics dashboards so you understand what’s working.
App Store submission, ASO optimisation, launch support, and 30 days of bug fixing and monitoring after go-live.
After 10 years of building wellness apps, we know what makes people come back tomorrow. Habit loops, variable rewards, streak mechanics, intelligent nudges — it's not a bolt-on, it's how we think.
Fitness, nutrition, mindfulness, personal development — we know the domain. We understand compliance requirements, clinical sensitivity, and the line between motivation and pressure.
We build in Swift and Kotlin, not cross-platform frameworks. The result: faster apps, smoother animations, better accessibility, and full access to platform capabilities. And Apple have featured multiple products we've built
We've designed paywalls, optimised trial-to-paid funnels, and modelled LTV for wellness apps. We build products that generate recurring revenue, not just downloads.
Personalised coaching, adaptive content, intelligent journaling prompts — we integrate AI as a core part of the product, not a marketing checkbox.
Our longest client relationship is 10+ years. We stay because we care about the product's success as much as you do. This isn't a handoff — it's an ongoing partnership.

How we work
You’ll always know what’s happening, what’s next, and what decisions you need to make.
Workshops, user research, competitive analysis, and feature prioritisation. We define what we're building and why. If you've done a Sprint, this phase is shorter.
Wireframes → visual design → interactive prototype → user testing. We iterate until the product feels right. You review and approve at every stage.
Two-week sprint cycles with regular demos. You see working software every fortnight — not a big reveal at the end. We integrate testing throughout.
App Store submission, ASO, launch day monitoring, and 30–60 days of post-launch bug fixing. Then we transition to ongoing support or hand over to your team.
I got an independent advisor to review the market and look at different agencies. All Shapes came out on top every single time. Their understanding of the wellness space is unmatched.
