Salzburg · Native, not a wrapper

Apps from Salzburg, that last in the store.

I design, build and ship native iOS apps — SwiftUI, CloudKit sync, App Store review included. No WebView shell, no template. The proof has been live in the App Store for over two years.

What you get.

A native app that passes App Store review and doesn't die afterwards. Concept, UI, Swift code, backend sync, release and updates — from one person. I don't sell app ideas on slides: Zeitmeister, my own time-tracking app, has been in the store for over two years and is used by hundreds of people. That's exactly the path I take with your product.

§ I · Reference
Zeitmeister App Icon

Zeitmeister — time tracking for Austria.

My own app, not a client logo. Working hours, overtime, vacation and mileage under Austrian rules — native SwiftUI, synced via CloudKit.

Zeitmeister is time tracking for SMEs, freelancers and employees in Austria: a timer with client and service group, target-vs-actual with public holidays, vacation and sick days, legally compliant mileage with CSV and PDF export. Fully offline-capable, all on device.

IIScope

Included in the engagement.

From idea to release — not just the code.

  1. 01

    Concept & scope

    What problem the app solves, which screens it needs — and which we deliberately cut so version 1 ships.

  2. 02

    UI & UX

    Native interface following Apple's Human Interface Guidelines. Dark mode, Dynamic Type and accessibility from the start.

  3. 03

    Native development

    SwiftUI and Swift, no wrapper. Fast, offline-capable, feels like it came with the system.

  4. 04

    Data & sync

    CloudKit, Core Data or a custom backend — whatever the product needs. CSV and PDF export when it's a business tool.

  5. 05

    App Store release

    Screenshots, metadata, review process, TestFlight beta. I've been through the process with my own app — repeatedly.

  6. 06

    Updates & operations

    iOS releases, new device sizes, crash monitoring. An app isn't finished at launch — Zeitmeister has run stable for two years.

IIIProcess

From first call to the store.

Four steps, clearly separated.

01

Fit call

30 minutes: what should the app do, for whom, why native? Afterwards both sides know if it's a match.

Week 0
02

Concept & prototype

Screens, data model, scope for version 1. A clickable prototype instead of a 40-page spec.

Weeks 1–2
03

Development

Weekly TestFlight builds on your device — you see progress, not status reports.

Weeks 3–10
04

Review & launch

App Store submission, review loops, release. Then updates on a schedule instead of panic.

From week 10
IVFAQ

App development questions — without fluff.

The answers that usually only come up in the first call.

  • Honest range: a focused native app like Zeitmeister starts around €15,000; more complex products with their own backend go beyond that. Under €10,000 you usually get a WebView shell — and I'll tell you that upfront. Fixed price after the concept, not by gut feeling.
