Case studies
We keep our own apps and APIs in the stores and in production, so the lessons are real: what makes people stay, what gets through app review, and what it takes to run billing and updates every day. Every number below is public or from our own products.

A food and symptom diary on the App Store since 2017, rebuilt around the first meal a new user logs.
Liturgical Living · Mobile app
A free Catholic prayer app, native on iOS and Android, with a search-ready website built from the same content.
NicDrop · Mobile app
A quit-nicotine app launched on iOS and Android, with an honest funnel audit and the fixes that followed.
