iOS + Android from one codebase (Expo / React Native): Arabic-RTL native, auth, offline, push and payments built in. Discovery first. Then a fixed quote. Then a real app shipped to the App Store + Google Play — built and maintained, not handed off. The same engineering behind Nibras, our own production-grade app, and Akly Pro.
You found a ready-made app or template that gets you 70% of the way there. The remaining 30% — the part your customers actually feel — isn't Arabic, isn't RTL, or quietly assumes a Western market. So you compromise on the experience, or you get quoted twice to build iOS and Android separately. Tenebra builds one app, one codebase, both stores.
The template works for "any market". Yours is Arabic-first. Fonts break, layouts mirror wrong, dates and numbers feel foreign to your users.
Agencies quote iOS and Android as separate projects. You pay twice and maintain two codebases that drift apart over time.
Cheap "apps" are just a website wrapped in a frame. They feel slow, laggy, and obviously not native — and users notice.
The code is theirs. The store accounts are theirs. If they raise prices or vanish, you're locked out of your own app.
App Store and Google Play have strict review rules. Without someone who has shipped before, you bounce between rejections for weeks.
⏳ Founding rate · limited slots · valid through 2026-07-31. First 3 clients per tier lock the discounted rate + earn permanent founding-client status. After 2026-07-31, standard rates apply.
A mobile app is too expensive to estimate by guessing. We do a paid discovery phase first — 5-10 hours of deep dive into your requirements. The output is a technical spec document and a fixed quote. Both yours to keep, even if you don't proceed with the build.
Three rough tiers. Final price comes from discovery — but here's where most apps land. Add-on: App Store + Google Play launch +15,000 EGP. Store fees go on the client's own developer accounts (Apple Developer $99/year · Google Play $25 one-time), passed through at cost — the app is published under the client's account, not ours.
Core features. iOS + Android. Real, but lean.
Core features only, one backend, both platforms from a single codebase. The smallest version of your app that real users can actually use.
Auth, push, offline, both stores.
Full authentication, Supabase backend, push notifications, offline support, and submission to both the App Store and Google Play. Where most real apps live.
Payments, real-time, deep integrations.
In-app payments, real-time features, and deep integrations with your existing systems. The full scale of a serious, business-critical mobile product.
"App builds aren't fire-and-forget. Every Tenebra app requires an ongoing maintenance retainer — iOS / Android updates, store-policy compliance, bug fixes, occasional features. We don't ship apps we know will break on the next OS update." — TENEBRA STUDIO POLICY
Nibras is a production-grade Islamic app we built and shipped ourselves with Expo / React Native — prayer times, offline-first, worship tracking, running on both iOS and Android from a single codebase. Not a portfolio prop — a real app, in real users' hands, that we own and maintain.
Arabic-first interfaces, not Google Translate. We build for Arabic users every day — your users will feel the difference.
Source code in your GitHub. Backend under your control. Store accounts in your name. No vendor lock-in — walk away whenever you want.
Same person on the discovery call writes the architecture, reviews the code, and answers the bug report. No hand-offs.
If we say 8 weeks, we mean 8 weeks. We pad estimates honestly and renegotiate openly when scope changes. No surprises.
