Mobile App Development, Built in Austin
From a pitch-deck idea at a South Congress coffee shop to an app carrying real transaction volume, Orphinx designs and engineers iOS, Android, and cross-platform apps for founders and enterprises across the Austin metro — including Round Rock, Cedar Park, and Georgetown.

What Our Austin Mobile Team Actually Does Well
Four disciplines separate an app that launches from an app that lasts. We staff all four on every project.
Platform-Correct Architecture
We pick native Swift/Kotlin or a cross-platform framework based on your actual constraints — budget, timeline, hardware needs — not whatever stack we happen to have engineers free for that week.
Battery, Data, and Load Discipline
Apps get uninstalled for draining batteries and burning data plans, not just for ugly UI. We profile memory and network calls before launch, not after your 1-star reviews start.
App Store & Play Store Compliance
We've been rejected by Apple's review team enough times to know their unwritten rules. We build to pass review the first time, including privacy manifests and data-use disclosures.
Backend & Third-Party Integration
Payment processors, CRMs, IoT hardware, legacy ERPs — most apps aren't standalone. We connect cleanly to what your business already runs on.
Why Austin Companies Pick Orphinx Over a Remote Agency
You Can Actually Meet Us
01For clients in Austin, Round Rock, Cedar Park, and Pflugerville, we do in-person kickoffs and milestone reviews. A lot gets lost over Slack that doesn't get lost across a table.
We Scope Before We Quote
02No generic package pricing. We spend time understanding your users and your constraints before committing to a number, so the number doesn't move later.
Senior Engineers, Not Rotating Juniors
03The people who architect your app in week one are still on it in month six. We don't staff projects with a rotating bench.
Post-Launch Isn't an Afterthought
04OS updates break things. We offer maintenance retainers so your app doesn't quietly rot the way most agency-built apps do a year after launch.
Our Mobile App Development Services
One team, every platform your users are actually on.
iOS App Development
Native Swift and SwiftUI apps for iPhone and iPad, built to feel like Apple made them. Includes App Store submission and review handling.

More about AndroidCross-Platform Development
React Native and Flutter builds for teams who need iOS and Android from a single codebase without sacrificing feel.
Our PortfolioMobile UI/UX Design
Wireframes and interactive prototypes built around how people actually hold and tap a phone, not just how a mockup looks in Figma.
Design StrategyAPI & Backend Integration
Connecting your app to payment rails, CRMs, and internal systems without turning your backend into a bottleneck.
Consult ArchitectureQA, Monitoring & App Store Support
Device-lab testing, crash monitoring, and ongoing App Store / Play Store maintenance after you launch.

No surprises, no black box between kickoff and launch.
Discovery Workshop
A working session (in person if you're in the Austin area, on video otherwise) where we map your users, constraints, and must-haves into a real spec — not a sales deck.
Design & Prototype
Clickable prototypes you can test with real users before a single line of production code gets written.
Build in Two-Week Sprints
You see working builds every two weeks, not a single reveal at the end. Feedback gets incorporated while it's still cheap to change.
Launch & Stabilize
We handle App Store and Play Store submission, watch crash rates for the first weeks post-launch, and fix what real usage exposes.
Exceptional Projects We've Developed
Clients presented their visions, and we transformed them into digital reality.
Planning a Mobile App? Start Here
What should I have ready before hiring a mobile app developer?
- 01
Write down the three things your app must do on day one — not the twenty things it could eventually do.
- 02
Know your primary platform: if 80% of your users carry iPhones, that changes the build order.
- 03
Have a rough budget range in mind so we can scope realistically instead of guessing at your ceiling.
- 04
List any existing systems (payment processor, CRM, inventory tool) the app needs to talk to.
How does a typical build move from kickoff to App Store?
- 01
Discovery workshop to lock the MVP scope.
- 02
Clickable prototype for you and early users to react to.
- 03
Sprint-based development with builds delivered every two weeks.
- 04
Store submission, review handling, and a stabilization window post-launch.
