Your app on the wrist and on the big screen

We build apps for Apple Watch (watchOS), Apple TV and Android TV. These are the screens people check daily without opening a phone. We start with a pilot tied to a measurable KPI, not with promises.

Quote and schedule after your brief

Who it's for

  • Product owners whose mobile app needs a watch companion: reminders, tracking, quick actions
  • Streaming, e-learning and media brands that want a place on the TV
  • Fitness, health and service brands that benefit from daily contact with users
  • Hospitality and retail businesses considering TV information screens

Problems we solve

Our app is on phones, and users are asking for a watch version.

We put only the 2-3 actions that make sense on a wrist: notifications, a timer, a quick confirm. Everything else stays on the phone.

We want to be on TV but don't know whether to start with Apple TV or Android TV.

At the brief we look at where your audience is. You get a separate estimate per platform, so you can start with one.

We worry about scope creep and not knowing what we pay for.

We prepare a quote after your brief. The first stage is a pilot with a clear KPI, so expansion is decided on real data.

We don't want to be locked in to a vendor.

Developer accounts, code and access belong to you under the agreed terms. We work inside your accounts.

What's included

  • Short analysis of which scenarios genuinely belong on a watch or TV
  • Interface design for a small screen or remote-control navigation
  • Development in SwiftUI (watchOS, tvOS) or Kotlin with Compose for TV (Android TV)
  • Connection to your existing app or API: data sync, authentication
  • Notifications and complications (widgets on the watch face) for watchOS
  • Remote support, focus-based navigation and video playback for TV
  • Testing on real devices, not only emulators
  • Store submission to the App Store and Google Play, handling review feedback
  • Handover of code, accounts and short documentation

Choose the scope

Use a package to describe what you need. We agree on the quote and schedule after reviewing your brief and requirements.

01

Pilot

Testing an idea on one platform with minimal features

  • One core scenario
  • Design of key screens
  • Test build (TestFlight or internal release)
  • Measurement of the KPI agreed at the start
Discuss this scope
02

Production app

Companies that already have a mobile app or API

  • One platform: watchOS, Apple TV or Android TV
  • Sync with your backend
  • Notifications, complications or video playback
  • Store publication
Discuss this scope
03

Multi-platform

Services that need a presence on both watch and TV

  • Two to three platforms on shared logic
  • Consistent design system
  • Usage analytics
  • Two months of post-release support

How we work

01

Brief and requirements

You describe the task and current workflow. We clarify requirements, choose a first stage and prepare a quote.

02

Pilot and KPI

We agree one measurable metric, for example the share of users who open the watch version. We fix the pilot boundaries.

03

Design and prototype

We design screens for the watch size or remote control and show a clickable prototype.

04

Build and test

We build in stages. You can try each stage on your own device.

05

Publish and hand over

We submit to the stores and hand over code and access. You pay per stage, not all at once.

Scope and limits

  • We don't promise first-time approval from Apple or Google: store review sometimes sends apps back for changes.
  • We don't build a watch app without a main app or API for it to sync with.
  • We don't guarantee sales growth: we are accountable for app quality and the KPI we agreed.

FAQ

Do I need an existing mobile app?

For watchOS, usually yes, since the watch pairs with an iPhone. For TV, an API or the content you want to show is enough. If you have no app yet, we can scope one as a separate project.

How do you estimate the cost?

We prepare a quote after reviewing your brief and requirements. A first stage can cover: one core scenario; Design of key screens. Scope, payment and schedule are agreed before work starts.

Who owns the accounts and code?

We agree on the handover of code, materials and account access before work starts. Third-party licences and services are listed separately when needed.

What do you need from me at the start?

A description of the scenarios, access to your API or app, brand assets and a paid Apple Developer account (about per year) or Google Play account. We help with the rest.

Can we start with just one platform?

Yes, and we recommend it. A pilot on one platform shows whether the idea works before you decide to expand.

How do you estimate the timeline?

It depends on the number of screens and integration complexity. We clarify the requirements after your brief and prepare a quote.
