SwiftUI First
We use Apple’s latest technology to build modern, fluid interfaces that feel at home on the iPhone.
Native iOS Development
Native iOS Development
We build native iOS apps with Swift and SwiftUI that are lightweight, fast, and ready to scale. No cross-platform compromises.
Native app scope, without the agency drag
The work is scoped around the few decisions that matter most for a first release: the core workflow, the technical shape, and the path to launch.
Founder-Focused Scoping
We don’t just take orders. We help you cut the noise and focus on the features that actually matter for launch.
App Store Ready
From certificates to submission, we handle the entire process of getting your app in front of users.
VitalFit: 4-week launch rhythm
This public case study shows how Shawn Studio can turn an AI-assisted health workflow into a more credible iPhone product without losing launch quality.
ReciteMaster: 2-week focused delivery
This project shows how a smaller education product can still be stable, fast, and well-scoped, with clear persistence decisions behind it.
Real launches, not static mockups
These examples are App Store releases, not design-only presentations. That matters because launch readiness is part of the service, not an afterthought.
Proof and fit
Good fit when you need
- A product whose core value happens on iPhone.
- Native performance, Apple platform patterns, and App Store launch support.
- A focused MVP, feature slice, or rebuild that needs careful technical judgment.
- A direct development partner who can help shape scope before writing code.
Why this approach works
Shawn Studio keeps strategy, UX, and implementation close together. That reduces handoff loss and helps founders move from idea to real product faster.
If the core value clearly lives in repeated mobile use and you need native iPhone delivery with launch support, go straight to the iOS project brief. If you are still deciding whether version one should start broader before returning to a native app, compare it with startup MVP development.

Shawn helped us turn a fuzzy iOS idea into a focused first version that could actually ship.
How the work moves
1
Scope
Clarify the goal, audience, constraints, and the first version worth building.
2
Shape
Turn the scope into a concrete structure with clear screens, flows, and technical decisions.
3
Build
Build the useful core, review progress directly, and keep the project moving without agency overhead.
4
Launch
Prepare the release, fix launch issues, and define the next iteration from real feedback.
Most focused projects move from scope to first release in weeks, not months.
Common Questions
How long does a typical app build take?
A focused MVP typically takes 4–8 weeks from start to submission.
Do you help with App Store optimization?
Yes, we handle the technical side of metadata, screenshots, and the submission process.
Can you work with my existing designer?
Absolutely. We love working with existing Figma files to bring designs to life natively.
What is the cost for an iOS app?
Our iOS projects typically range from $3,000 for a prototype to $10,000+ for a full feature-rich MVP.
Do you provide post-launch support?
Yes, we offer monthly maintenance and feature update packages to keep your app current.
