App development Berlin – MVP speed without Berlin day rates.
App projects in Berlin rarely have time to spare: the prototype is due before the pitch, the MVP before the first users, the app before the next funding round. We build at exactly that pace – with Flutter for iOS, Android and desktop from a single codebase, at Saxon cost structures instead of Berlin agency pricing. On-site meetings in Berlin by arrangement; the day-to-day collaboration runs remotely.
MVP speed
Short cycles with testable builds – made for launches, pitches and deadlines, not for spec-document marathons.
One codebase
iOS, Android, Windows and macOS from a single Flutter codebase – one team, one budget, every platform.
Our own app in the stores
With Pauly we run our own product on the App Store and Google Play – judge our quality by it.
App development for businesses in Berlin.
Berlin is Germany's startup capital and the heart of its digital economy – a place where apps are built under time pressure, with investors watching and users who don't forgive half-finished products. That is the environment we work for.
Startups & founders
From a clickable prototype for the pitch deck to an MVP for your first real users – with honest advice on which features matter now and which can wait until the next round.
Scale-ups & VC-backed products
After the funding round, the app has to match the ambition: solid architecture, clean releases and store ratings you can show investors – instead of technical debt from the garage days.
Digital economy & agencies
As a delivery partner for Berlin agencies and digital teams, we build apps to your designs and specs – reliably, white-labelled, without you having to hire your own app team.
Launches with a deadline
Campaign start, trade fair, product launch: when the date is fixed, we plan backwards – with a feature scope that can realistically go live in time, and a clear plan for everything after.
What you can have built with us.
- Mobile apps (iOS & Android) – One Flutter codebase for both stores – concept, design, development, launch and operation from a single team.
- Enterprise apps – Internal tools connected to your systems and APIs – from operations dashboards to offline-capable field apps.
- MVP development – The fastest credible route from idea to testable product – ideal for new ventures and pitches with a fixed date.
- Custom software & spreadsheet replacement – When Notion boards and spreadsheets hit their limits: grown workarounds become maintainable, multi-user applications.
- Maintenance & takeover – We also take over apps built by other providers or departed freelancers – after an honest code audit.

Pauly – dictate your shopping list
Pauly, our voice-controlled shopping list app, is our own product on the App Store and Google Play: dictate instead of typing, automatic categorisation, real-time sharing with the family. Exactly the care a consumer app needs to survive in the stores – and the care Berlin teams get for their own products.

Frequently asked questions about app development in Berlin.
Do you have an office in Berlin?
No – our base is Dresden. We're happy to come to you for the kick-off, a workshop or a review by arrangement, but in our experience the ongoing collaboration works most efficiently remotely: short video calls and testable app builds instead of travel time.
Why an agency from Saxony instead of one in Berlin?
Because your budget should go into features, not Kreuzberg office rent: Saxon cost structures instead of Berlin day rates, with the same availability in everyday remote work. The best way to judge our technical quality is our own product in the stores – not the agency's postcode.
Can you keep up with the pace of a Berlin startup?
Yes – short sprints, testable builds and fast decisions are our normal mode, not the exception. Flutter helps: one codebase for iOS and Android means every feature is built once and ships to both stores at the same time. With fixed deadlines we plan backwards and prioritise ruthlessly – and honestly.
What kinds of apps do you build?
Consumer apps for the stores, MVPs for new ventures, internal enterprise apps with system integration, and the replacement of grown Excel and spreadsheet tools with modern applications – for iOS, Android and desktop from a single codebase.
What does an initial consultation cost?
Nothing. We listen, ask the right questions and tell you honestly whether and how your project can be realised – including a rough effort estimate and a frank word if a leaner MVP would be the better start.
