Partner, not vendorSince 2015
Wve is best suited for organizations looking for a long-term product partner, not simply development capacity. We take responsibility across strategy, design and engineering — from early strategy and product definition through design, engineering, launch, modernization, and continued development.
A decade of designing, engineering, launching, and scaling digital products for startups, growth companies, and established organizations. Mobile apps, web platforms, custom software and AI-enabled products — thoughtfully conceived, beautifully designed, and engineered to perform.
What we do
iPhone, Android and cross-platform. Mobile has been at the heart of Wve for more than a decade and remains one of our deepest areas of expertise.
Internal platforms, operational tooling and the systems your business actually runs on — built to be maintained, not just delivered.
Product thinking first, interface second. Research, flows, design systems and interaction detail carried straight into engineering.
Web platforms and product surfaces that hold up under real usage, integrated with the same backend your apps depend on.
AI woven into products where it earns its place — assistants, automation and intelligence inside software people already use.

One design system, one data layer, three surfaces. Scroll through the industries below and watch the same product re-render as a native phone app, a front-of-house tablet and a browser console — every screen here is a real running prototype, not a picture.
Scheduling, secure messaging, remote monitoring and EHR sync — built native so vitals stream without a spinner, with a browser console for the care team.
Healthcare — built, shipped, maintained by WVE Labs
Guest apps with mobile keys, in-stay ordering and loyalty that hooks straight into your PMS — plus the tablet console your front desk runs on and the web dashboard head office watches.
Hospitality — built, shipped, maintained by WVE Labs
Offline-first driver and warehouse apps that queue every scan and sync the moment the truck finds LTE — dispatchers run the whole fleet from the browser.

Core frameworksNative first
Proven stacks that deliver performance, scalability and reliability across iOS, Android and hybrid environments — selected in week one, defended in year three.
Swift · SwiftUI · UIKit · Combine
Native iOS built on MVVM and Combine, with Core Data or SwiftData behind the screens. Gestures, transitions and haptics match how iOS users already navigate — from clinical handhelds to consumer flagships.
Kotlin · Jetpack Compose · Room · Coroutines
Kotlin-first Android with Jetpack guiding layout, navigation and lifecycle. Room, Retrofit and Coroutines keep data operations stable so the app stays responsive across a wide device matrix.
React Native · TypeScript · Reanimated
One shared codebase with native-level feel. We structure components, navigation and state properly, then drop to native modules wherever speed or platform APIs demand it.
Flutter · Dart · Bloc / Riverpod
Expressive, pixel-controlled interfaces on iOS and Android from a single engineering approach. Animations stay smooth at 60fps across screen sizes and older hardware.
React · Vite · Service Workers
App-like products that open from a link — installable, offline-capable and instantly distributable. Ideal for pilots, internal tools and low-friction adoption.
Node · Postgres · AWS · GraphQL
Reach both platforms without maintaining two tracks, backed by APIs, auth and infrastructure we own end to end. Targeted native components go where performance matters.

Client testimonials


“Working with WVE Labs felt like hiring an in-house team overnight. They rebuilt our neuro assessment app natively in eleven weeks, sat in our clinical reviews, and pushed back when a feature would have slowed clinicians down. Zero lag, zero crashes, and our therapists finally stopped emailing support.”


“They shipped Apple Watch and HealthKit sync working on the first TestFlight build, which nobody on my board believed was possible. Weekly demos on real devices, honest estimates, and a senior engineer answering Slack the same hour.”


“Our biometric login and audit trails passed enterprise security review untouched — no remediation round, no delay. They documented every decision, handed over clean code, and trained our internal devs so we were never held hostage.”

“Our players book courts in three taps now. WVE Labs understood pickleball club operations better than we did by week two, and the launch weekend handled 4,000 bookings without a hiccup.”


“The interactive pain-point body map was a hard design problem and they nailed it on the second iteration. Patients complete intake in under two minutes and our clinicians trust the data.”


“Every sprint ended with something we could hold in our hands. No status theatre, no surprise invoices — just a calm senior team that shipped a clinical-grade iOS app on the date they promised.”


“One team covered both stores and cut our burn rate almost in half. They mapped the architecture before writing a line, so when we pivoted the onboarding flow mid-build it cost days, not months. The most commercially sensible engineering partner we have used.”


“A booking bug surfaced on a Friday at peak season and they shipped a hotfix over the air in twenty minutes — no review queue, no panic. That single afternoon paid for the whole engagement.”


“Android users had complained for two years and stopped within a month of launch. Store rating went from 3.1 to 4.8, and the team explained every trade-off in plain English to non-technical stakeholders.”

“Matchday traffic spikes used to break us. One codebase now serves both stores, restaurants get bookings in real time, and the team stayed on the phone with us through the first full season.”

“Our live draft has a 30-second clock — there is nowhere to hide latency. They rebuilt the room in React Native and it has not dropped a pick since launch across two continents.”


“They shipped a genuinely beautiful travel product on a boutique budget. Guests compliment the app before they compliment the villas, which tells you everything.”


“Offline mode in dead-zone warehouses is the reason we renewed for a third year. Their engineers rode along on real shifts, watched our crews scan, and designed the sync engine around that reality instead of a whiteboard. Nothing has been lost since.”


“HIPAA infrastructure, BAAs and audit logging were handled before we even asked the question. Our compliance officer called the handover pack the best documentation she had ever received from a vendor.”


“The AI features actually shipped to production instead of dying as a demo — private models, guardrails, evaluation dashboards and all. They were honest about what would not work, which saved us a quarter of wasted spend.”


“Thousands of live camera streams on mobile, and it never stutters. Their backend team re-architected our video pipeline and then documented it well enough for our own engineers to own it.”

“Safety features have to work perfectly the first time. They treated our safe-word protocol with the seriousness it deserved, tested it with real users, and shipped without a single critical bug.”

“Sponsorship, tournaments and member comms all in one app our caddies actually use daily. Analytics were wired in from day one, so we finally know what our members care about.”


“They rebuilt our checkout in six weeks and conversion jumped 31% in the first month. What impressed me most was the discipline — they instrumented every step, argued with our assumptions using data, and refused to ship the redesign until the numbers held for two full weeks.”


“The team treats our roadmap like their own — proactive, blunt, and always shipping. They flag risks weeks before they become problems and have twice talked us out of features that would have cost six figures to maintain. That kind of honesty is rare in an agency.”


“Our field agents went from paper forms to a native app they genuinely enjoy using. Adoption hit 94% in three weeks with no mandate from management, and the offline capture means our crews in rural sites never lose a report again. Admin time dropped by roughly a day a week per agent.”


“Listings sync in real time across three portals now and we have had zero double-bookings since launch. They rewrote the sync layer twice to get the conflict handling right rather than shipping something that mostly worked, and our support inbox is quiet for the first time in years.”


“They inherited a stalled build from another vendor, spent a week auditing it honestly, and told us exactly what was salvageable. Forty days later we were live in the App Store with a clean codebase and a test suite we actually trust. No drama, no blame, just delivery.”


“Dashboards our warehouse leads open every single morning — that had never happened with any tool we bought before. They sat with the floor supervisors, cut two thirds of the metrics we asked for, and shipped the handful that actually change decisions on a shift.”

“Design work that made our product feel premium without ever slowing the roadmap down. They built us a real component system, documented it, and now our own team ships new screens in hours that used to take a fortnight of back-and-forth with contractors.”

“Their AI assistant answers around 70% of member questions before staff ever see them, and it hands over cleanly when it is unsure. They spent as much effort on the guardrails and escalation paths as on the model itself, which is exactly why we trust it in front of members.”


“Clean architecture and a documented handoff meant our internal team took ownership painlessly. Two engineers shadowed them for a month, and when the engagement ended nothing broke and nobody panicked. They optimised for us not needing them, which is why we keep calling them back.”


“HIPAA-ready from day one, and in eighteen months not one clinician has complained about the flow. They shadowed rounds before designing anything, and the result is software that fits how care actually happens rather than how a spec document imagines it.”


“They handled a launch weekend that tripled every projection we gave them, with zero downtime and no emergency calls. The load testing they insisted on months earlier — which we thought was overkill at the time — is the only reason that weekend was boring.”


“Weekly demos, honest tradeoffs, and a v1 that people actually opened twice a day instead of once and never again. They cut our original scope in half and were right to — retention on the smaller product beat everything we had modelled for the bigger one.”

Types of apps we build
How we workTalk → Design → Build → Launch
Strategy, design and engineering carried by the same people — through launch, modernization and everything after. It starts with a call: free, 15 minutes, no obligation.
Free, 15 minutes, no obligation. You speak with a real product expert — not a sales script — about what you're trying to build, who it's for and what it should cost.
Product definition, user flows and interface design. We shape what the product should be before anyone writes code, so engineering builds the right thing.
Mobile, web, backend and applied AI built by the same team that designed it. You review working software on real devices throughout, not at the end.
Store submission, release and monitoring — then modernization and continued development. A long-term product partner, not simply development capacity.
After launchSame team
Launch is the start of the product, not the end of the engagement. The engineers who built it keep it healthy — updates, upgrades and the next chapter of the roadmap.
System libraries, auth layers, backend dependencies and OS behavior changes. As iOS and Android evolve, we make targeted updates that keep your app secure, functional and store-compliant.
Crash reporting, error budgets and real-user performance tracking. We watch cold-start times, API latency and regression trends — and act before your users file a review about it.
Phased rollouts, feature flags and staged store submissions so new work ships without risking the release you already trust.
Store listing optimization, keyword and creative testing, review response strategy and release-note hygiene to keep organic installs compounding.

FAQsStraight answers
We're a digital product company, not a dev shop. Strategy, design and engineering sit under one roof, in-house since 2015, and the senior people you meet on the first call are the people who ship your product. Mobile has been at the heart of Wve for over a decade and remains one of our deepest areas of expertise.
Native iOS (Swift, SwiftUI), native Android (Kotlin, Jetpack Compose), cross-platform (React Native, Flutter), progressive web apps, wearables, and the web platforms and APIs behind them.
Yes — and we'll tell you honestly which one your product needs. Hardware-heavy, performance-critical or long-lived platforms usually earn native. Products optimizing for speed to market across both stores often do better on one shared codebase.
A focused v1 typically ships in 10–14 weeks. Growth products run 4–7 months. Enterprise platforms with compliance and integration work run longer and are delivered in staged releases so value lands early.
Starter builds typically land at $25K–$60K, growth products at $60K–$200K, and enterprise platforms at $200K and up depending on workflows, integrations and compliance.
Yes. We run ongoing platform and security maintenance, performance monitoring, feature rollouts and app store optimization with the same team that built the product.
As involved as you want to be. We work in short sprints with demo builds on real devices, shared boards and open documentation — you see progress, tradeoffs and next steps in real time.
Consumer products, media and entertainment, hospitality, financial services, education, automotive, healthcare and technology — including work for Sony, Honda, Guardian, Marriott, USC, Maui Jim and California State University.
Yes. Applied AI is a standing capability: assistants, summarization, search, prediction, document processing and workflow automation, plus integrations across payments, EHRs, PMS, ERP, CRM and internal legacy systems.
Yes. The first call is a 30-minute working session with a senior engineer. You leave with a feature breakdown, a compliance checklist and a realistic budget range — no pitch deck.
Always, before any detailed discussion. Your concept, files, IP and communication stay confidential from the first consultation through deployment and beyond.
Ask who actually writes the code, ask to see products still live in the stores years later, and ask how they handle the boring parts — QA, compliance, releases and support. Those answers separate real product teams from resellers.
Picture the version of your product that finally works the way you've been describing it — designed, engineered and supported by one team. That conversation starts with a call: free, 15 minutes, no obligation.
