Koinophobia LabsHire the studio
Hire the studio that shipped three apps this summer.
Koinophobia Labs takes on a small number of outside projects. Every one runs through the same pipeline as the studio's own products, with the same rule: it isn't done until it's on a device and the claims are true.
Three shapes
Each one backed by something already shipped.
Build the app
A native iPhone, Apple Watch, iPad, or Mac app, from first sketch to App Store review. Design, build, StoreKit, privacy, submission, the listing.
Typically six to twelve weeksTrendi, Forget About It, Way InProve the idea
A working prototype on a real device in one to two weeks, so you decide with your thumbs instead of a slide deck. You keep the code either way.
One to two weeksTrendi went from a note to an internal TestFlight in one monthPut a model to work
An AI feature or internal tool where the model does the writing and deterministic rules do the deciding, with a claims gate that refuses output the product can't stand behind.
Two to six weeksTrendi's coach pipeline, Way In's no-model résumé path, the studio's own release-truth auditAlso in scope when it fits: a site with a point of view (this one), a product film with real screens, an experimental interface, automation that removes a job nobody wanted.
How it works
Five steps, no surprises.
- 01
You write two paragraphs.
What you want to exist, what exists today, when you need it.
- 02
Blake replies within two business days.
With a real answer: a scope, a question, or “not yet.”
- 03
A fixed price and a written scope.
Before anything is built. Revision rounds and the support window are in it.
- 04
Working software every week.
On your device, not in a deck.
- 05
Handoff.
You own the code, the accounts, and the listing.
What it costs
Priced once, in writing.
Prototypes start in the low thousands. App builds are scoped individually and priced once, before development. If the honest answer is that you don't need a studio yet, you'll get that answer for free.
Scope, price, timeline, and revision rounds are agreed before development. The post-launch support window is defined in the scope. Third-party costs, accounts, and domains are documented before launch. No open-ended retainers unless the system genuinely needs one.
