We don't just advise on apps. We ship them.
Most agencies will design you an app. Fewer can take it all the way from an idea to a live, paid product on the App Store, built, submitted, approved and supported.
Creative Sauce builds real mobile apps. Our lead developer and UI/UX designer, Sarah Wood, was heavily involved in the design and build of ClearaScan, an ingredient-label checker that is live on the App Store today, and in taking it from a conceptual idea through to App Store submission and approval. So you are working with someone who has actually been through the process, not just read about it.
ClearaScan
A live ingredient checker and food and skincare label scanner for allergies, intolerances and families. Our lead developer was heavily involved in its design and build. iOS now, Android next.
What we build
From first idea to a product in people's pockets.
Interface design (UI/UX)
Screens people find obvious to use. Our founder is a UI/UX designer, so the experience is designed, not an afterthought.
Native iOS apps
Fast, reliable apps built for iPhone, with Android as the natural next step.
App Store submission & approval
We have taken an app through submission, privacy labels and review to approval. We handle that process, not just the code.
Subscriptions & trials
In-app purchases, free trials and paid tiers done properly, so the money side actually works.
The backend behind it
Accounts, data, sharing and the services an app needs to run, not just a pretty front end.
Privacy & compliance
GDPR, data deletion and retention, App Store privacy labels. Built in, not bolted on.
Analytics that mean something
Consent-aware analytics so you can see what is actually being used, without selling anyone's data.

Why Creative Sauce for an app
We have been close to a real, live app, so the mistakes have been made already.
Plenty of people can write code. Shipping a paid app that passes App Store review, handles subscriptions, respects privacy and keeps working is a different job. Our lead developer was heavily involved in doing exactly that with ClearaScan, so by the time we build yours we are not learning on your budget.
You get a lead developer and UI/UX designer who has been through App Store submission and approval on a live app, not a hand-off to whoever is free.
Common questions
Can you actually get my app onto the App Store?
Yes. ClearaScan is live on the App Store now. We handle the developer account, the submission, privacy labels and the review back-and-forth.
Do you do Android too?
iOS is where we ship first. Android is the natural next step and we scope it in from the start where it makes sense.
Can you handle subscriptions and free trials?
Yes. ClearaScan runs a 7-day free trial and monthly and annual paid tiers through the App Store. We set the same up for you.
What kind of apps do you build?
Practical, useful apps for real people and small businesses. We have hands-on experience with a live health and family app; the approach suits anything with accounts, data and a clear job to do.
Will you maintain it after launch?
Yes. An app is not finished at launch. We support, update and add to it once it is live.
