Contract app development

Native Apple apps, SwiftUI prototypes, launch audits, and App Store submission support for founders, educators, creators, and small teams with focused product ideas.

Product strategy and release work in the same loop.

FreeRange Labs is best suited to contained products: education tools, productivity workflows, internal utilities, App Store MVPs, Apple Watch companions, macOS apps, and existing builds that need a disciplined launch pass.

  • Native iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, SwiftUI, AppKit interop, and App Store packaging experience.
  • Scope shaped around privacy labels, review-sensitive features, onboarding, support pages, and release materials.
  • Public portfolio work that demonstrates shipped product surfaces, not just internal prototypes.

Engagement shapes

These are practical starting points for a first conversation. The exact scope should fit the product, budget, risks, and timeline.

01

Launch audit

Review product completeness, UX gaps, privacy posture, App Store metadata, support pages, screenshots, and submission risks.

02

Prototype sprint

Build a functional slice that tests the core workflow, platform fit, user experience, and technical risk before a larger commitment.

03

Native app build

Design and implement a scoped Apple-platform app with testing, App Store prep, support materials, and iteration support.

How the work runs

A clear operating model keeps design, engineering, testing, launch, and support moving together.

Discovery

Clarify users, devices, data sensitivity, launch path, constraints, and the smallest product that should exist first.

Design system

Define screen structure, navigation, state behavior, empty/error paths, visual rules, and App Store positioning before heavy implementation.

Build loop

Deliver testable slices with simulator and device checks, accessibility basics, state persistence, and performance sanity checks.

Release

Prepare metadata, support/privacy pages, build archives, screenshots, submission notes, and post-launch fixes.

Good fit projects

FreeRange Labs is strongest when the job is specific, native, and close enough to launch that product judgment matters as much as code.

A

App Store MVPs

New product builds that need a disciplined path from idea to review-ready binary.

B

Education tools

Learning apps, student workflows, curriculum-adjacent tools, and program support surfaces.

C

Launch recovery

Existing apps that need metadata, UX, privacy, review, support, or packaging cleanup before release.
