One team. One sprint. One launched app.
We don't run discovery phases. We don't juggle ten clients. For 30 days, a small team of senior engineers works on your product — scoped tightly enough to ship, resourced deeply enough to ship well.
Four weeks, one linear path.
No parallel workstreams fighting each other. Every week has one job, and every week ends with something real.
Scope, architecture, and design.
We lock the product surface area in five days. No endless discovery — just the decisions that matter.
- Kickoff call and technical scoping
- Core user flows and feature boundaries
- System architecture and stack selection
- Visual design direction and component library
Core build — screens and backend.
Senior engineers ship the primary flows end-to-end. Auth, data model, first real screens running on device.
- Production auth and account management
- Database schema and API endpoints
- Primary screens wired to live data
- Daily build access on TestFlight and Firebase
Polish, integrations, admin tools.
Remaining features, third-party integrations, and the admin dashboard you need to actually run the product.
- Payments, notifications, analytics, and any core integrations
- Admin dashboard for content and users
- Edge cases, error states, and empty states
- Full QA pass on iOS and Android
Launch and handoff.
Store submission, production deploy, and full code ownership delivered to your team on day 30.
- App Store and Google Play submission
- Production backend and admin deploy
- Repository transfer and full code ownership
- Launch-week support and handoff documentation
What ships. What doesn't.
The sprint is deliberately scoped. Here's exactly what you get — and what's out of scope by design.
Included in the sprint
- Native iOS and Android apps (React Native, shared codebase)
- Production backend — database, auth, APIs, file storage
- Admin dashboard for users, content, and day-to-day ops
- Core integrations — payments, push, analytics, email
- App Store and Play Store submission on day 30
- Store listing copy, screenshots, and metadata
- Full source code and repo transfer on launch day
- Infrastructure transfer — you own the accounts
- Launch week support and handoff documentation
Out of scope
- Ongoing marketing, growth, or user acquisition
- Long-term retainer engineering (available separately)
- Enterprise procurement cycles or custom legal reviews
- Hardware products, firmware, or embedded systems
- Blockchain, crypto wallets, or on-chain logic
- “A quick rewrite” of an existing large codebase
What you do. What we do.
A 30-day timeline only works if the lanes are crystal clear. You stay in founder mode. We stay in ship mode.
What you do
- Show up to the kickoff call with a clear product vision
- Review daily builds and give tight, prioritized feedback
- Provide brand assets, any existing content, and access to accounts you want us to use
- Be available for a short sync three times a week
What we do
- Run product, design, engineering, QA, and submission end-to-end
- Make architectural decisions and defend them in plain language
- Write production code on the main branch from week one
- Submit to Apple and Google and manage review responses
The questions founders actually ask.
Straight answers. If yours isn't here, bring it to the call.
Can you really ship a production app in 30 days?
Yes — and we have. Locker Lounge is the proof. The trick isn’t working faster, it’s ruthlessly scoping what ships in v1 and using modern tooling and AI to remove the slow parts of traditional app development. We only take on projects where 30 days is actually achievable.
What about quality? Doesn’t fast mean rushed?
Fast means focused. Senior engineers writing production code day one, with a tight scope and clear deliverables, produces better quality than six months of sprawl. You get a launched app you can actually run a business on — not a prototype with taped-on features.
Who actually writes the code?
Senior engineers with years of shipping production mobile apps. No offshore handoffs, no junior devs learning on your dime, no ticket-mills. The same people on the kickoff call are the people writing the code you’ll take ownership of on day 30.
What happens after day 30?
You own the repository, the infrastructure, and the app listings. You can take it in-house, keep working with us on v2, or hand it to another team. We’re not trying to lock you in — the whole point is that you leave day 30 with a real product and real leverage.
Why not build with no-code tools?
No-code is great for prototypes and internal tools. It falls over when you need real performance, custom flows, native integrations, or scale. You also don’t get to leave — you’re permanently renting your product from a platform. We build you something you own.
Why not just hire a freelancer?
A good freelancer can write code. They can’t run a full end-to-end launch — design, architecture, backend, admin tools, submission, polish — on a fixed 30-day timeline. That’s a studio’s job. One throat to choke, one launch date, one team.
Ready to ship in 30 days?
If you have a validated idea, the capital, and the urgency — let's talk. One call. Thirty minutes. We'll tell you straight whether the sprint is the right fit.
