Next Step Studio · A small team with big standards

iPhone and iPad apps, built by a small studio.

No account managers, no hand-offs, no rotating team. You talk directly to the people who design, code, ship and maintain your app — native Swift, SwiftUI, and a stubborn attention to how it feels on a real device.

A studio, not a factory.

Next Step Studio is a small software company that develops applications for iPhone and iPad. A compact team means the whole project stays close: the context is never lost, decisions are never relayed, and nothing gets worse in translation. We work with founders, small teams and businesses that need a real iOS presence without hiring an in-house team.

  • Direct line to the teamYour questions go to the people building your app — not a support queue.
  • iPhone and iPad, first classAdaptive layouts, multitasking, keyboard and pointer support — not a stretched phone screen.
  • Small scope, honest timelineWe take on a limited number of projects, so yours gets the attention it needs.

What we build

Native apps for Apple devices — and nothing else.

Focus is the whole point of a small studio. We only take on work we do exceptionally well: Swift and SwiftUI apps for iPhone and iPad, from a blank project to a published App Store listing.

iPhone app development

Consumer and internal business apps built natively in Swift and SwiftUI. Smooth 60–120 fps interactions, offline-first data, push notifications, and careful respect for iOS conventions — so your app feels like it belongs on the home screen.

  • SwiftUI
  • UIKit
  • CloudKit
  • Push notifications

iPad app development

Apps designed for the larger canvas instead of stretched from the phone: adaptive layouts, Split View and Slide Over, drag and drop, keyboard and trackpad shortcuts, Apple Pencil input and widgets.

  • Adaptive layout
  • Multitasking
  • Stage Manager
  • Apple Pencil

Maintenance & new versions

Every iOS release brings changes. We keep your app compiling and fast on the newest iOS and iPadOS versions, fix what breaks, and ship the features you add to the roadmap after launch.

  • iOS updates
  • Crash reports
  • Analytics
  • Feature work
