Studio

Small team. Lots of apps.

Alic Systems is an independent mobile studio. We make apps that each do one job well, keep them on the App Store for the long run, and bring the same playbook to a small number of client projects.

We pick problems people run into every day, then build the simplest app that solves each one.

Learning a topic before an exam, writing something clearly, working out what a plant or stone is, keeping a small shop's stock straight. We ship the smallest useful version, then improve it from real reviews and usage.

Everything is done in-house: product design, iOS development, AI features, App Store listings and updates. There's no hand-off between an agency and a subcontractor.

How we work

Four rules we build by

One job per app

If a feature doesn't serve the job the app was made for, it doesn't ship.

Private by default

We process only what's needed to give you a result, and we never sell data.

Real use decides

Reviews and usage shape every update, not guesses in a meeting.

Ship, then improve

We launch small, update often and keep our apps alive for the long run.

Work with us

Your app, built by people who ship their own.

We take on two client projects a quarter, so you work directly with the team behind our apps, not an account manager.

Questions

Before you get in touch

How long does a new app take?

It depends on the features. We agree the timeline in the written plan before any work starts, and you see progress in test builds along the way.

Do you work with startups outside your country?

Yes. We work remotely with clients anywhere, with regular calls and shared test builds.

Who owns the app?

You do. The code, designs and store listings are yours from day one.

Can you take over an existing app?

Often, yes. We start with a short review of the code and store listing, then recommend what to fix first.

Have an app in mind?

Tell us what you're building. We reply within one working day with next steps.
