Software that keeps working after launch.
Launch is the start of a product's life, not the end of the project. Frameworks age, app stores change their rules, certificates expire and users find the bug nobody tested. We look after live web and mobile apps month after month, including ones we did not build, so they keep running and keep improving.
- Live apps: web, iOS and Android we maintain today
- Store rules: Android SDK and React Native upgrades done
- Monitored: uptime, errors and certificates watched
- Monthly: a retainer with an agreed allowance
§ 01Overview
The work nobody sees until it stops
We keep your platform secure, up to date and improving, with a predictable monthly cost and engineers who already know the code.
Most of our client platforms are still being changed long after launch, and we price for that rather than pretending a project ends. For a live e-learning platform with web, iOS and Android apps, that has meant regular store releases, React Native upgrades to meet Google Play's new page-size and target SDK rules, payment fixes and steady improvements requested by the people who run it.
We also take on apps built by other teams. We start by reading the code and the servers, write down what we find, and fix the riskiest issues first. You get a clear picture of what you have, even if you decide to keep someone else.
Where it fits
- Keeping a live app secure, patched and compatible
- Meeting new Apple and Google store requirements
- Taking over an app from a team that has moved on
- A steady stream of small improvements each month
- Same engineers. People who know your code, not a ticket queue.
- Predictable cost. A monthly retainer with an agreed allowance.
- Watched, not waited on. Monitoring flags issues before users do.
- Easy to leave. Everything on accounts you own.
§ 02What you get
Six deliverables.
Bug fixes
Fixes triaged by severity, with urgent problems handled the same working day on Pakistan hours and everything else scheduled into the month's allowance, with a short note on what was wrong and what changed.
Upgrades & dependencies
Framework, language and library upgrades before they become emergencies: PHP and Laravel versions, Node and React updates, React Native upgrades and the security patches that come with them.
App store releases
iOS and Android builds, store submissions, review responses and the yearly platform changes, such as new target SDK levels and memory page-size rules, handled before the deadline rather than after the warning email.
Monitoring & uptime
Uptime checks, error tracking, SSL certificate expiry and server health watched continuously, with alerts that reach a person who can act on them.
Security patches
Patching known vulnerabilities, reviewing access and permissions, and fixing the issues that matter most first, with every change tested before it reaches users.
Small improvements
Each month's allowance covers small changes your team asks for: a new report, a changed workflow, an extra field. Bigger pieces of work are quoted separately so the retainer stays predictable.
§ 03How it runs
Four steps, in the open.
- Step 01
Read what you have
For apps we did not build, a short paid review of the code, hosting and backlog, ending in a written list of risks and quick wins.
- Step 02
Set the retainer
An agreed monthly allowance of hours, response times for urgent issues and a clear line between maintenance and new projects.
- Step 03
Fix the risks first
The first weeks go on the issues most likely to hurt: outdated dependencies, missing backups, expiring certificates, weak spots in security.
- Step 04
Keep it improving
A monthly rhythm of fixes, upgrades and small improvements, with a short report on what was done and what is coming up.
