## Audience

- Founders building an iOS-first product around a real customer problem.
- Small teams with a prototype, unfinished app, or product flow that needs Apple-native polish.
- Health, accessibility, productivity, education, or behavior-change teams where trust and clarity matter.
- Teams adding AI to an existing mobile workflow where the experience needs to stay useful and understandable.

## Offer

Andreas helps teams reduce the distance between a rough product idea, a usable iPhone prototype, and a shipped Apple-platform app.

### Best For

- iOS product planning, scope control, and first-version execution.
- SwiftUI apps that need onboarding, analytics, accessibility, App Store readiness, or Apple framework depth.
- AI workflows, sensors, HealthKit, App Intents, widgets, Live Activities, and complex mobile product loops.

### Not For

- Clone apps with no product insight.
- Vague app requests without a user, budget, or concrete problem.
- Projects where visual polish matters more than behavior, retention, and trust.

## Process

1. Diagnose the product loop, user, first useful flow, permissions, and release constraints.
2. Prototype the riskiest interaction as a working iPhone experience.
3. Build the Apple-native system with clear onboarding, accessibility, analytics, and error states.
4. Ship, learn from real use, and keep the next step small enough to act on.
