Nine things we do.

End-to-end. We don't hand you off to another vendor mid-project.

01

MVP in 6 weeks

A working app on iOS and Android in 6 weeks. Real users. Real feedback. Fixed price.

02

iOS native

Swift 6, SwiftUI, the whole modern stack. We build apps that feel like Apple wrote them.

03

Android native

Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, Material 3. Built so the Android version isn't the afterthought.

04

Backend & APIs

Node, NestJS, MongoDB. Real infrastructure. The part nobody sees that everything depends on.

05

UI/UX design

Figma flows in week one. Real screens by week two. Designers who think in components.

06

AI integration

On-device or hosted, LLM features, voice, vision. We pick the model that earns its tokens.

07

Websites & web apps

Marketing sites, web apps and the admin dashboard your ops team lives in. Fast, SEO-ready, bilingual when you need it.

08

Maintenance & support

After launch, we don't disappear. SLA support, OS updates, store reviews — we stay on call.

09

AI video production

Cinematic spots, brand films and shorts. Written, generated, graded and cut by us, in days.

The team

Eleven humans.

We're a small, deliberate team. Every project gets a senior iOS lead, a senior Android lead, a designer, and a PM. No bench-warmers. No agency math.

A note from the founders
We started Dracode because most agencies treat mobile as a side dish — a thin wrapper around someone else's web product. We wanted the opposite. Native first. Senior team only. Apps that earn their place on the home screen.

FAQ

Frequently asked.

What is Dracode?
Dracode is a UK app and web development studio. A senior team designs, builds, and ships native iOS and Android apps, websites, and the backends behind them for founders, scale-ups, and non-profits, taking products from idea to the App Store and Google Play in weeks, not months.
What does Dracode build?
Native iOS apps in Swift and SwiftUI, native Android apps in Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, websites and web apps in Next.js, Astro, and React, admin dashboards, and backends and APIs in Node.js, NestJS, and MongoDB. Product design, AI features, and AI video production are delivered by the same small senior team.
Does Dracode build websites and backends, or only mobile apps?
Both. Mobile is the core, but Dracode also builds marketing websites, bilingual English and Arabic sites with full right-to-left support, web apps, admin dashboards, and the APIs, realtime chat, and infrastructure behind them. EPISA, a bilingual non-profit website, is a recent example.
Who does Dracode work with?
Founders building their first product, scale-ups shipping their next bet, and non-profits. Recent work includes TeleTabeb (non-profit telemedicine, 10,000+ patients), Amali (a job marketplace), EPISA (a bilingual non-profit website), and the AI apps Adapt, Harmonit, and StillHere.
How long does a Dracode project take?
A focused MVP ships in six weeks on one platform, or eight to ten weeks for iOS and Android in parallel. The studio works in four phases (scope, design, build, ship) with daily communication, weekly builds, and a fixed price.
Where is Dracode based?
Dracode is registered and headquartered in the UK as Dracode Ltd. The team is distributed, works on UK time, covers EU and US business hours, and serves clients worldwide.
