01
Launch audit
A focused review of product completeness, UX gaps, privacy posture, App Store metadata, support pages, and the release path.
Contract app development
FreeRange Labs helps founders, educators, creators, and small teams turn focused product ideas into native Apple apps that can survive real users, App Review, and the second release.
Product thinking plus shipping mechanics.
The work is strongest when the goal is a clear, contained product: a learning tool, internal utility, field workflow, App Store MVP, watchOS companion, macOS desktop app, or a rescue pass on an existing build that needs to launch.
- Native iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, SwiftUI, AppKit interop, and App Store packaging experience.
- Scope shaped around launch risk: privacy labels, review-sensitive features, onboarding, support surfaces, and release artifacts.
- Polished marketing/support handoff so the product has somewhere credible to land after approval.
Engagement shapes
Clear options make the first conversation easier. These are starting points, not boxed packages.
02
Prototype sprint
A functional slice that tests the core workflow, platform fit, user experience, and technical risk before a larger build.
03
Native app build
End-to-end implementation for a scoped Apple-platform app, including UX, engineering, testing, release prep, and iteration support.
How the work runs
A practical operating model keeps the project from turning into a beautiful artifact nobody can ship.
Discovery
Clarify users, constraints, target devices, data sensitivity, launch path, and the minimum product that should exist first.
Design system
Define screen structure, brand fit, navigation, states, empty/error paths, and visual rules before heavy implementation.
Build loop
Ship in testable slices with real device/simulator checks, accessibility basics, state persistence, and performance sanity checks.
Release
Prepare App Store metadata, support/privacy pages, build archives, screenshots, submission notes, and post-launch fixes.
Good fit projects
App Store MVPs, education tools, productivity workflows, Apple Watch utilities, macOS apps, native rewrites, and launch rescue work.
