We Build
我々は創る — 沈黙の中で — 職人の道

A small iOS studio that ships real products to the App Store — growing our own portfolio, open to selling apps we've built or building new ones with you.

Who We Are
A studio that
ships and grows.

Tappa is an independent iOS studio. We identify underserved niches, build polished apps in weeks — not months — and grow them profitably on the App Store. 8 live apps. 13K+ users. More on the way.

Speed to market

We go from validated idea to App Store in weeks. A lean process means less burn, faster learning, and a live product that can earn revenue while others are still in meetings.

Quality that retains users

Low ratings kill organic growth. We invest in UX and stability from day one so our apps hold their ratings — and their rankings — long after launch.

ASO-driven growth

The best app store presence is the one that compounds. We tune keywords, screenshots, and metadata continuously so each update improves discoverability.

Built to scale the portfolio

Every app we launch is a business unit. We manage the full stack — product, engineering, and growth — so the portfolio scales without growing the team proportionally.

Our Vision
Build lean.
Grow fast.

We don't build apps to build apps. We identify real demand in underserved niches, validate quickly, and launch products that generate organic revenue from day one.

一 · 匠

Niche-first strategy

We look for categories where user demand is clear but existing apps are outdated, poorly designed, or overpriced. That gap is where we build — and where our apps grow fastest.

二 · 型

Launch, learn, iterate

We ship an MVP fast, measure real user behaviour, and double down on what works. No long development cycles. No guessing. Just data and action.

三 · 道

Revenue that compounds

Each app we grow adds to a portfolio of recurring revenue. Better ratings, better ASO, and higher retention — every improvement to one app teaches us how to make the next one better.

武士道 · The Studio Way
Small team.
Real results.

No agencies. No bloat. Just a tight team that owns every step — product, design, development, and growth. We move fast, stay lean, and ship apps that make money.

二つの協力の道
Work With Us
Two ways to work
with the studio.

We build and own a portfolio first — but we're open to two kinds of partnership: acquiring one of our shipped apps, or building a new one with a client we believe in.

Path · Acquisition

Acquire one of our apps

Several apps in our portfolio are open to acquisition by operators, studios, or portfolio buyers with the runway to scale them further than we can. Profitable products, clean code, full handover.

  • Live on the App Store with real users and revenue history
  • Full source, design files, ASO history & metadata transferred
  • RevenueCat / StoreKit subscriptions ready to re-attribute
  • 30 – 90 day transition support included
  • NDA, P&L, and full asset list available on request

Path · Client Build

Build a new app with us

If you have a strong app idea and want a senior team to design, build, and ship it on the App Store, we'll partner with you. We are selective — we only take on products we genuinely believe can succeed.

  • Native iOS (SwiftUI) — end-to-end product, design & growth
  • Idea → App Store in 6 – 12 weeks for typical scope
  • ASO, paywall design, and post-launch iteration included
  • Equity, fixed-fee, or hybrid engagement models
  • Fewer than 3 client builds per year — quality over volume

精密なる制作過程
Our Process
6 steps.
One standard.

From "Is there demand?" to "It's live and growing."

一 · Discover
Discover
We research App Store categories for high-demand, low-quality gaps. Search volume, competitor ratings, and revenue estimates tell us where a better app can win.
01
二 · Design
Design
Clean UI, intuitive flows, and a clear value proposition — from first open to paywall. We design for conversion and retention, not just aesthetics.
02
三 · Develop
Develop
Native Swift and SwiftUI. Stable, performant, and App Store-ready in weeks. We keep the codebase clean so iteration stays fast after launch.
03
四 · Launch
Launch
We submit, monitor reviews, track installs, and watch the first revenue come in. A launch is the start of a feedback loop, not the finish line.
04
五 · Promote
Promote
ASO, keyword optimisation, screenshot A/B testing, and category targeting. We treat the App Store listing like a landing page — and optimise it like one.
05
六 · Grow
Grow
Ratings management, feature updates, and user retention loops. Each improvement drives better organic ranking — which drives more installs without paid spend.

FAQ
Common
questions.
Are any of your apps for sale?

Yes — several of our shipped apps are open to acquisition. They're profitable, live on the App Store, and ready for an operator with the runway to scale them further than we can. We hand over the full source, design files, ASO history, subscription infrastructure, and provide 30 – 90 days of transition support. Email us for the current shortlist, P&L, and NDA.

Do you build apps for clients?

Selectively — fewer than three client builds per year. Our primary model is building and owning our own apps, which is what makes us useful as a build partner: we know what ships, what sells, and what the App Store actually rewards. If you have a strong idea and want a senior team to design, build, and grow it with you, tell us about it. We only take on products we genuinely believe can succeed.

How do you decide what to build?

Data first. We look at App Store search volume, competitor ratings, pricing, and revenue estimates. If a category has strong demand but weak products — that's where we go. We validate before we build, so we're not guessing on market fit. The same lens applies to client projects: if an idea doesn't pass our market test, we'll say so before we take a deposit.

How do your apps grow?

Primarily through organic App Store search. We invest heavily in ASO — keywords, metadata, screenshots, and ratings — so our apps rank and convert without paid acquisition. Regular updates improve retention, which improves rankings, which drives more installs. It compounds over time — and it's the same growth playbook we ship with every acquisition or client build.
