Custom apps

Your business deserves its own app.

Not a template. Not someone else's platform with your logo bolted on. A custom app built around exactly how your business runs — and the people you look after. Coaches, clubs, studios, services, communities… if you can describe how it works, we can build it.

Why a business gets its own app

Client-facing. Time-saving. Organised.

Three reasons it's worth having your own — not a website, not a spreadsheet, not five apps that don't talk to each other.

Client-facing

Your people get a slick, branded experience in their pocket — your name on it, not ours. It makes a small operation look serious.

Time-saving

The admin, reports and follow-ups run themselves. The repetitive work that eats your week is handed to the app.

Organised

Everyone and everything in one place — who's active, who's slipping, what's due — instead of scattered across tools and your memory.

What's inside a custom build

Built around your business — top to bottom.

Here's what a custom app can do. Every piece is tailored to how you work. The examples below lean on coaching because that's where we've built most so far — but the same engine fits whatever you run: a club, a studio, a service, a community, a membership.

● Best for most coaches

A private app (PWA)

Lower cost · live in days
  • Installs straight from a link — "add to home screen"
  • No app store, no review, no yearly fee
  • Updates instantly — change it, it's live
  • Perfect for members-only apps and communities
● When you need public reach

A public store app

More cost · Apple App Store + Google Play
  • Listed and discoverable — "download our app"
  • Full native features and reliable push
  • Yearly developer fees + store review
  • More to build and maintain over time

Most coaches don't need a public listing — a private app does everything your members need, for a fraction of the cost and hassle. We'll tell you straight which one you actually need, and only build the store version if it earns its keep.

What the big apps still get wrong

It's your app — not theirs with your name on it.

Your logo, your colours, your design, your content. Members open your brand, not a generic platform everyone else uses. And because we build it from scratch, you get the things the off-the-shelf apps still don't.

  • A coach side that actually works on your phoneMost apps still make you open a laptop to run admin.
  • AI that flags who's about to drop off — and nudges them for youThe thing the big apps make you chase by hand, every week.
  • A real community, not a dusty forumSocial accountability is what keeps members paying.
  • Works on every phone — no "iPhone only"Some big names still lock out every Android user.
  • Flat, fair pricing — never charged per clientYour bill doesn't balloon every time you sign someone new.

What your app could do

A taste of what's possible — and we've already built every one of these. Mock-ups here, but the capability is real.

Community · accountability

A community that keeps them paying

Likes, comments and a real feed where wins get celebrated — plus AI that quietly spots who's gone quiet and prompts you to reach out before they cancel.

Spot the drop-off before it happens.

Hours back, weekly

Check-ins, plans and messages run in one place — not across texts, spreadsheets and your evenings.

More engagement

A tap to check in beats "did you do it?" texts. Members show up more when it's easy.

Better retention

People stay where they see progress. Streaks, history and a coach in their pocket keep them in.

One place to run it all

Your whole roster on one screen — who's flying, who's slipping, who needs a nudge today.

Apps we've built

Performance-coaching academy

Companion app · live

Designed around your field — not one-size-fits-all

A few concepts for different kinds of business. Yours is custom-designed to exactly how you work — your brand, your data, your features. These show the range; they're not templates.

Concept mock-ups with sample data — not live products. Your build is shaped around your niche.

Priced like a tool you'd keep — not a per-seat tax

The big apps charge you per client — the more you grow, the more you pay, and it's still their name on your app. Yours is one flat price, however many clients you have, and it's yours top to bottom. Most businesses already spend £150+/mo across five tools this replaces.
