Mayak Labs is an independent app studio. We design, build and publish apps for Apple platforms. We ship our own apps too, so we only recommend what we've tried ourselves.

Good apps feel obvious. Getting there isn't, and that's the part we're good at. From the first sketch to the App Store listing, one studio carries the whole thing.

App Design

UX flows, interface design, prototypes and widgets that feel native on Apple platforms.

App Development

Native apps in Swift and SwiftUI for iPhone, iPad, Mac and Vision Pro, plus the backend behind them.

Publishing & Launch

App Store submission, review, TestFlight, in-app purchases and subscriptions, screenshots and App Store search optimization.

Training

Hands-on workshops and mentoring in Swift, SwiftUI and shipping to the App Store, for teams or individuals.

Consulting

Product strategy, technical audits and roadmaps. An honest second opinion before you spend the budget.

Multilingual & Localization

Apps for underserved languages, including right-to-left scripts. We’ve done it ourselves with Uyghur.

Built & shipped.

Built & shipped.

We ship our own apps first. It’s how we learn what works before we build for you.

How it goes

How a project
actually goes.

How a project actually goes.

No black boxes, no month-long silences. Every engagement runs the same four phases — and you can step off cleanly at any line.

01

Phase

Discover

We map the problem before the solution: the users, the constraints, and the one metric that actually decides whether this worked.

Design

Tight loops between Figma and code, reviewed together every few days, so what you sign off on is what we can actually build.

Build

Weekly demos and TestFlight builds, no dark rooms. You watch it come together as it comes together, and steer while it’s cheap to steer.

Ship

We handle App Store submission, review and launch, measure against that first metric, and hand over clean docs. Then we keep improving it, or we get out of your way.

The people

Small studio.
No handoffs.

One person scopes, designs, builds and ships your project. No handoffs, no telephone game. When a project needs more hands, we bring in people we’ve shipped with before.
