Apps people open every day.
We take mobile products from zero to store: strategy, interaction design, APIs, analytics, and the release hygiene that keeps ratings healthy. Below is how we applied that craft to Bites & Sparks, a dating app built around real-world dates.
Featured case study
Bites & Sparks
bitesandsparks.com (“Less small talk. More sparks.”) A dating app built around one number: how many real dates you go on this month.
Most dating apps are built to keep you scrolling. Bites & Sparks is built to get you off the app and into a chair across from someone worth meeting. Reviewed profiles, a proposal-first flow, and safety tools that stay quiet until you need them.
Reviewed, not crowdsourced
Every profile is checked by a real person for photos, identity, and intent before someone appears in your feed. Expect roughly 48–72 hours; the trade-off is authenticity.
Propose, don’t text
Start with a plan: pick a place and time. The other person has 24 hours to accept; no performative openers, fewer threads that go nowhere.
Safety, quietly on
Trusted contacts, check-ins, and discreet exits, all designed so your date never has to see the machinery, only you showing up with confidence.
How it works
From hello to the table.
Profile worth reading
Six real photos, intent, and the things you love, all reviewed before you’re in.
Small, intentional feed
A quiet feed of people who share your goals, not an endless deck or daily streak.
Propose a real date
Pick a spot and time; they have 24 hours to say yes for clear momentum and less ambiguity.
Chat the day before
Thread opens 24 hours ahead: enough for logistics, not a substitute for the evening itself.
Our practice
How we build alongside you.
Bites & Sparks is one expression of our product discipline. The same muscles apply to fintech, health, and internal super-apps.
Product strategy
Positioning, onboarding economics, and the metrics that prove you’re building the right habit, not just more screens.
UI & UX
Accessible, calm interfaces with motion and copy that match your brand voice, especially under stress.
Native iOS & Android
Swift/Kotlin-first when performance and platform affordances matter; pragmatic about shared modules.
Cross-platform
React Native and Flutter where velocity and parity win, with a plan for native escape hatches.
Backend & APIs
Services your app can trust: auth, sync, notifications, payments, and observability from day one.
Launch & growth
Store listings, phased rollouts, crash analytics, and experiment hooks so you learn after v1 ships.
How we work
From discovery to TestFlight in weeks, not quarters.
Shape the bet
Problem, audience, and success signals are locked before we paint pixels.
Design the loop
Interactive prototypes and realistic content so edge cases show up early.
Build in slices
Vertical cuts with analytics and feature flags: always shippable, never “big bang.”
Ship & learn
Store submission, monitoring, and a backlog grounded in real usage, not assumptions.
