From our work
Most of our apps are built in Islamabad, by developers, designers and testers who sit in the same office. If you're nearby, you can come in, see the work on a real phone and talk to the people building it.
Apps we've built for Pakistani businesses
- The Guardian School System app, on our School360 platform: parents see attendance, homework, fees and results, and teachers mark registers, in English or Urdu.
- Travelot, a travel app for exploring Pakistan: plan a trip on a budget, browse tours and book with verified partners. It passed 10,000 downloads.
- Shibli View Smart, the companion app for a thermal imaging company's devices.

What building an app for Pakistan involves
Android first, iPhone too. Most of your customers will be on Android phones, many of them mid-range. We usually build in React Native, so one codebase gives you both, and we test on cheaper phones, not just the newest ones.
Payments. JazzCash, Easypaisa, cards, bank transfer or cash on delivery. Which ones you need changes how the checkout is built, so we ask on day one.
Urdu. If your customers read Urdu, the layout has to run right to left properly, not just show translated words.
Slow connections. Apps that load fast on mobile data and still work when the signal drops.
What it costs
A first version of a typical app, with sign-in, the main screens, payments and an admin panel, is usually an estimated $400 to $1,000 and six to eight weeks. Bigger platforms with several user types, like a marketplace or a delivery app, cost more. Build your own estimate on our service menu.
How we work
A short call or a visit to the office, a written plan with a fixed price, then a working build on your phone every week or two. The app is published under your own Play Store and App Store accounts, and the code is yours.
Questions we get in Islamabad
Can I visit your office in Islamabad?
Yes. We're at Luxus Mall, Gulberg Greens, on the Islamabad Expressway. Call or WhatsApp +92 300 8689081 first so the right people are there.
Do you build for both Android and iPhone?
Yes. Most apps we build use React Native, so one codebase runs on both. We publish to Google Play and the App Store under your own accounts.
How long does an app take?
A focused first version usually takes six to eight weeks. We agree the screens and features in writing first, so the date and price don't drift.
Do you maintain the app after launch?
Yes, on a monthly care plan for updates, fixes and new Android and iOS versions, or by the hour when you need changes.
