iOS in Action
See how we've applied our iOS expertise to solve real business problems.
Jungle Jim's App: Search, Maps, and Deals for 180,000+ Items
We overhauled the Jungle Jim's iOS and Android apps with product search, interactive store maps, and app-exclusive deals — plus an internal employee app to streamline staff workflows.
ArtsWave: Cincinnati's Arts Events App with Exclusive Passes
We designed and built ArtsWave's iOS and Android apps from concept to launch — a searchable events calendar, behind-the-scenes content, and the ArtsWave Pass for free and last-minute access to Cincinnati concerts, shows, and exhibitions.
sleepme App: AI Temperature Control, Guided Meditation, and Sleep Analytics
We joined sleepme's team to add AI-driven temperature control, guided meditation, sleep analytics, and smart scheduling to their iOS and Android app — including IoT integration with their sleep hardware.
Kroger Partnership: Two Apps, Millions of Weekly Users
How our ongoing partnership with America's largest grocer built the Ruler Foods shopping app and OptUp — a personalized nutrition tool used by millions every week.

We help P&G turn R&D breakthroughs into consumer apps — Oral-B's AI brushing coach with 3D teeth tracking and Setlist Beauty's AI skincare platform.

iOS Insights from Our Team
Our engineers share practical iOS knowledge from real-world projects.
Apple Intelligence On-Device: What We Built and What Surprised Us
No cloud, no API fees. Apple's Foundation Models framework and the @Generable macro deliver surprisingly clean on-device AI. Full Swift code walkthrough.
Xcode String Catalogs: Compile-Time Safety, Code Completion, and RTL Gotchas
Key-based string catalogs give you compiler errors for missing translations and autocomplete in code. We also cover RTL auto-flipping, German word overflow, and testing locales without touching device settings.
The Vibe Coding Hangover Is Real. Here's What Actually Works.
I let AI generate a full feature and felt incredibly productive, until I needed to modify code I didn't understand. Here's the sustainable workflow our iOS team actually uses.
Xcode's AI Coding Assistant: What It Nails and Where It Falls Apart
ChatGPT and Claude are built into Xcode 26 — no plugins needed. Simple prompts produce solid Swift code. Multi-file changes still fall apart. Our honest take after daily use.
An Unauthorized Guide to SwiftData Migrations
My app started crashing after deleting old data — SwiftData's migration docs didn't help. Here's what I figured out: schema versioning, custom migrations, and the pitfalls Apple doesn't warn you about.
Adding VoiceOver to a SwiftUI App: Navigation, Labels, and Hidden Elements
Default VoiceOver ignores your custom SwiftUI layout and reads left-to-right. We fixed card navigation, hid decorative images, and added proper labels, with before/after demos.
