Which problem are you solving?

Start from the actual business blocker: keep delivery moving, unblock a fragile app, scope a V1, or give an agency client a credible mobile delivery lane.

What you get

Senior mobile execution, without adding a heavy vendor layer.

The useful parts are concrete: clear scope, playable progress, release blockers surfaced early, and a handover your team can actually use.

Scope that survives launch

Cut the V1 down to the core loop, document decisions, and keep the build aligned with timeline and budget.

React Native plus native depth

React Native is the default for speed. When platform APIs, background behavior, or store policies require native work, risk is flagged early.

Weekly playable demos

No black-box development. You see progress weekly and make decisions before risk compounds.

Store launch and handover

QA, release prep, App Store / Google Play support, repo handover, and a practical next-step backlog.

Delivery pipeline

From signal to store launch.

A focused V1 path with risk surfaced before the build gets expensive. Rescue work compresses the same operating rhythm into a shorter sprint.

01
Days 1–5

Risk & Scope

Identify the core loop, technical constraints, launch blockers, and what should be cut from V1.

02
Week 1–2

Design for buildability

Shape flows around the business action and implementation reality, not decorative mockups.

03
Weeks 2–6

Build with weekly demos

Senior mobile execution, React Native / native modules as needed, and a playable build reviewed every week.

04
Weeks 6–8

Release & handover

QA, store submission support, production basics, repo handover, and a next-step backlog.

Fit filter

Built for focused teams, not vague app ideas.

The strongest engagements start with a real business pressure: hiring lag, release risk, a pilot window, or an agency client that needs mobile delivered properly.

Good fit

You likely have a launch pressure.

  • Product teams hiring mobile talent but needing delivery now.
  • Founders with a serious V1 deadline, funding conversation, pilot, or launch window.
  • Agencies that need mobile delivery under referral or white-label terms.
  • Teams with an app that is blocked, fragile, slow to release, or hard to maintain.

Not a fit

The scope probably needs more evidence first.

  • HK$10k app ideas.
  • Feature-heavy marketplace concepts with no budget or validation.
  • Enterprise RFPs that need a large vendor bench.
  • Teams that want to micromanage hourly output instead of owning a launch outcome.
  • Projects unwilling to cut scope.

RaiSecure: 6-week dual-app launch.

Parental-control app system with parent/kid apps, native modules, background restrictions, and store-policy constraints.

Complex mobile constraints shipped to store

RaiSecure was a paired parental-control system with two apps, shared backend logic, and native modules for background restrictions and device-control flows. Stateless shipped a store-ready V1 in 6 weeks with weekly demos and clear technical risk management.

We went from idea to App Store in 6 weeks. The weekly demos killed the uncertainty; I saw the product evolve every Friday.

FAQ

The questions that decide deals.

Straight answers to reduce risk and remove ambiguity before either side spends time on a long sales process.

Who actually builds the app?

Stateless is founder-led. You work directly with Lucas, a senior mobile engineer. For larger scopes, pre-vetted independent specialists may support UX or QA with your approval, but the engagement remains senior-led and tightly controlled. No junior-heavy outsourcing model.

Are you based in Hong Kong?

Stateless is a Hong Kong-registered company operating in GMT+8. Delivery is remote-first. Hong Kong workshops or stakeholder meetings can be arranged by appointment when the project requires it.

What does a serious V1 cost?

Most serious V1 builds start around HK$128k and increase with integrations, native modules, backend complexity, compliance, and release constraints. If the scope is unclear, start with a V1 Scope Sprint.

Can you help if we are hiring a mobile developer?

Yes. The Ship While You Hire model gives you senior mobile capacity while your full-time hire is still in progress, then hands over cleanly when they join.

Can you rescue an existing app?

Yes, if there is access to the repo, release history, and enough context to identify blockers. The App Rescue Sprint is designed for this.

Do we own the code?

Yes. You own the code and assets produced for your project under contract. Stateless provides repo handover and documentation.

React Native vs native?

React Native is the default for speed. If platform APIs, background behavior, performance, or store policies require native Swift/Kotlin work, Stateless flags it early and scopes it explicitly.

What happens after launch?

You get release support, handover, and a V2 roadmap. Ongoing support can be scoped, but the first job is to launch a focused V1 or unblock the app without hiding future risk.
