Mobile app development

Launch the app your customers keep on their home screen.

iOS and Android apps for Saudi businesses, in as little as 12 weeks. Arabic-first. mada and Apple Pay built in. 100% yours, even if you've never built an app before.

Before → after

Picture your business 12 weeks from today.

Right now your customers want to buy from you on their phones. Most of the time, they can't.

Today

Busy, but leaking sales.

  • Orders arrive through WhatsApp, phone calls and Instagram DMs.
  • Your staff copy them into a spreadsheet by hand, and some get lost.
  • Customers can't pay online, so many give up halfway.
  • Delivery and booking platforms own your customers and take a cut of every sale.
  • Search the App Store for your category and your competitors show up. You don't.

12 weeks from now

Your own app, doing the selling.

  • Customers order, book and pay in your app in three taps.
  • Every order lands in one dashboard your team can actually use.
  • mada, Apple Pay, Tabby and Tamara take the money. ZATCA invoices go out on their own.
  • Push notifications bring customers back without paying for another ad.
  • You own the app, the code and the customer data.

The bridge

Here's how you get from today to launch day.

Four phases with a demo every week. You always know what's done, what's next and what it costs.

Weeks 1–3Design

You see your app before a line of code exists.

Clickable screens in Arabic and English, tested on your phone. You change anything you want while changes are still cheap.

  • Arabic-first layouts, not English flipped right-to-left
  • Your brand, your tone of voice
  • A clickable prototype you can show investors or partners
Weeks 4–10Build

A working app on your phone every week.

Every week you install the newest version and try it yourself. Payments, login and notifications work early, not in the last week.

  • iOS and Android from one codebase
  • Admin dashboard to manage orders, users and content
  • Local payments, Nafath and SMS wired in
Weeks 11–12Launch

Live on the App Store and Google Play, under your name.

We prepare the store listings, screenshots and privacy details, then take the app through Apple's and Google's review. It goes out under your developer accounts.

  • Store listings in Arabic and English
  • Crash and usage tracking from day one
  • 30 days of free bug fixes
After launchGrow

Your app keeps up with your business.

Choose a monthly plan for new features, OS updates and monitoring. Or take the code to your own team. It's yours either way.

  • Updates for every new iOS and Android release
  • Feature roadmap based on real usage
  • No lock-in. Cancel any month.

What you can build

Whatever your customers need to do, they can do it in your app.

Ordering & e-commerce

Cafés, restaurants and shops selling straight to customers, without a platform taking a cut.

Booking & appointments

Clinics, salons, gyms and consultants. Time slots, reminders, deposits and Hijri dates.

Delivery & logistics

Customer app, driver app and live tracking, with Riyadh traffic in mind.

Wallets & fintech

Payments, loyalty points and Nafath-verified sign-up, built with SAMA rules in mind.

Marketplaces

Two-sided apps for property, services or rentals, with commissions and payouts handled.

Apps for your team

Field service, inspections and inventory. Replace paper forms and WhatsApp groups.

Built for the Kingdom

The local pieces foreign teams get wrong come built in.

mada carries about 60% of payment volume in Saudi Arabia. Leave it out of your checkout and you turn away more than half your buyers. Your app gets mada, Nafath, ZATCA and the rest from the first build, not as an expensive extra.

App questions

What founders ask before they build.

Native or cross-platform?
Most apps are built once with Flutter or React Native and feel native on iPhone and Android. Compared with two separate native apps, that usually saves you time and money. If your app needs heavy native features such as advanced camera work or Bluetooth hardware, the plan will recommend Swift and Kotlin and explain why.
Can my app take mada and Apple Pay?
Yes. Payments go through a licensed Saudi gateway such as HyperPay or Moyasar, covering mada, Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay and STC Pay. Tabby and Tamara can be added for buy-now-pay-later.
Do you handle App Store and Google Play approval?
Yes. We prepare the listing, screenshots, privacy labels and review notes, then deal with any questions from Apple or Google until the app is live.
Where is my customers' data stored?
By default, on servers inside the Kingdom, which keeps you on the safe side of the PDPL. If you have an existing provider, we'll work with it.
What if I want changes during the build?
Small changes go into the next weekly cycle at no cost. Bigger ones get a written price and a new date before anyone starts, so your budget never moves without your say.
