We build and improve mobile apps across iOS and Android. The user experience matters, but so does what your team has to work with.
Your mobile app is the closest your product gets to the hands of your users
When a screen is slow, glitchy, or the app crashes, they feel it. There's no hiding from that. Mobile codebases have a way of becoming painful. We've seen it all, apps stuck on React Native versions so old that upgrading feels impossible, releases blocked by App Store rejections, security vulnerabilities that have been lurking for years, manual releases that eat up a whole afternoon.
We get apps unstuck
Or maybe you're not there yet, but you're trying to figure out whether to go native, cross-platform, or something in between. We help with both. We get apps unstuck from outdated dependencies, sort out the architecture so changes don't break things across the whole app, automate releases so shipping isn't a headache, and fix security holes before they become a real problem. We do this by bringing proper engineering practices and structure, so your team can move faster without fear. We're not precious about frameworks. React Native, Flutter, native when it makes sense. What matters most is that your team can work with the codebase long after we're gone.
Does this sound familiar? You're not alone. These problems are incredibly common. The good news? They're all solvable, without starting from scratch.
Our best engineers are drowning.
Too much on too few shoulders? We embed, pair, and knowledge-share until your team has no bottlenecks.
"Madewithlove has been a fantastic partner for over two years. They helped us scale our team and build a future-proof platform that grows with our business. Their expertise in scalable architecture, pragmatic approach and overall professionalism has been key to our success. Highly recommended!"
Keeping buildings and spaces in good, safe and clean condition
After their technical co-founder departed unexpectedly, we stepped in with two staff engineers to build a quality-first MVP using Inertia.js, Vue, and Laravel. We established robust CI/CD pipelines, implemented comprehensive testing, and mentored the team through knowledge transfer.
Guiding recently graduated students in their job search
We partnered with MONO to design and develop Vick, a digital platform that guides recently graduated students in their job search. We built both a web application and API infrastructure, integrating multiple databases and creating innovative features like password-free login.
"We made the decision to onboard a madewithlove senior front-end engineer very early in our journey. This has been transformational: there was an immediate alignment on the mindset, on understanding what startups are like and more importantly; an obsession not to re-invent the wheel – a key differentiator for a startup. As we grew, we realised as founders that we weren't equipped to help the growing dev team take higher level technical/architectural decisions and get organised in a future-proof way. That's when madewithlove's fractional CTO stepped in and has beautifully combined a senior coordination role and a pragmatic, hands-on approach. Very satisfied with madewithlove's support, dedication and focus on what really matters."
We've lost sight of priorities.
When everything's urgent, nothing moves. We align product vision and teams to end firefighting.
We keep rewriting instead of improving.
The urge to rewrite is strong. We resist it. Stabilise, improve, ship.
Rolling out new features takes too long.
Stalled velocity? We love getting our hands dirty - simplifying processes, and enhancing the developer experience so your team can ship with confidence again.
Our product is full of bugs.
We make brittle systems solid. Better testing, monitoring and code that holds up under pressure.
Our company is scaling fast, but the software isn't.
Scaling exposes the cracks. We strengthen your systems and evolve your people so scaling is not chaos.
Flexible mobility for all employees
We helped Vaigo strengthen their engineering team and product development by introducing a CTO interim and staff engineers who provided mentorship on software engineering practices, React concepts, product management processes, and organizational restructuring.
We focus on delivering measurable improvements across four key areas that matter most to your product and team.
We get your mobile app in shape. The right patterns, proper architecture, modern tooling that speeds you up, not slows you down. Nothing fancy for the sake of it.
Apps that work everywhere, for everyone. iOS, Android, different screen sizes, accessibility features. We don't play favourites. No user left behind.
Code your team can trust. We set up clear patterns, write documentation that's actually useful, and put testing in place that catches issues early. Onboarding gets faster, deploys get calmer.
Shipping is just part of it. We pair, review, and write documentation that actually helps. The goal is always the same: your team doesn't need us anymore.
We bring deep expertise across the modern mobile ecosystem, working with your existing stack or helping you choose the right tools for what's next.

We work with companies that want to get their mobile apps right. Here are examples of how our approach translated into real results.
An e-democracy platform for stronger communities
Our staff engineer led a six-month restructuring to create an open-source version with modular architecture. The solution groups configuration and code into single modules that can provide routes, inject UI elements, and execute lifecycle methods without polluting the core codebase.
Free aim training for FPS gamers
We provided technical leadership and software engineering to resolve performance issues and legacy system problems. We implemented infrastructure improvements on DigitalOcean, decoupled the front-end into a Next.js application with a new Laravel API, and helped recruit staff engineers.

We bring deep expertise across the mobile ecosystem including React Native, Flutter, native iOS (Swift), and native Android (Kotlin). We adapt to your existing stack rather than imposing our preferences.
Absolutely. We specialise in brownfield development, improving what already exists. We excel at refactoring legacy mobile apps, untangling complex codebases, and modernising architectures while your app continues running in production.
We start by profiling your application to identify actual bottlenecks. Then we implement targeted optimisations like image optimization, lazy loading, proper state management, and native module integration. We focus on measurable improvements, not theoretical perfection.
Yes. We work with cross-platform frameworks like React Native and Flutter, as well as native iOS and Android development. We help you choose the right approach for your needs and ensure consistency across platforms.
Quality is built into our development process. We implement comprehensive testing strategies, use proper CI/CD pipelines, follow platform-specific best practices, and ensure your app works across different devices and OS versions.
We establish comprehensive testing strategies using tools like Detox, Appium, Jest, and native testing frameworks. We implement unit tests, integration tests, and end-to-end tests to catch issues before they reach production.
Knowledge transfer is core to our approach. Through pair programming, collaborative code reviews, and comprehensive documentation, we ensure your team gains the skills and confidence to continue building after we're gone.
This depends on the scope of the project. We like to go in with an exit plan, stay long enough to make meaningful improvements and ensure your team is confident to continue independently. The goal is always to make ourselves unnecessary over time.
Whether your mobile app is slowing you down, holding back new features, or just needs a refresh. We're here to help.
