Apps for course creators & coaches

Mobile App Development for iOS & Android

We build branded iOS & Android apps for course creators, coaches, and online educators: paywalled video courses, live cohort sessions, a private community, and push notifications that keep students engaged — on a platform you control and keep the revenue from.

The course-platform tax

Every course platform takes a cut, owns your students, and looks like everyone else's.

You did the hard part — building the audience and the content. A branded app means you stop paying a percentage to host your own work and own the relationship outright.

Platforms skim your revenue

Monthly fees plus a percentage of every sale add up fast at scale. Your own app turns that endless tax into a one-time build you own outright.

You don't own the relationship

The platform owns the login, the data, and often the payment relationship. An app puts your students — and their data — back in your hands.

A web tab isn't a habit

Course completion craters when content lives behind a browser bookmark. An icon on the home screen plus push reminders is what actually drives engagement.

Your brand looks generic

Cookie-cutter course platforms make a $2,000 program feel like a $20 one. A polished branded app signals premium and supports premium pricing.

What we build in

The four features that turn your content into a recurring-revenue app.

Every build is custom React Native — fast, native on both iOS and Android, and architected to scale with your audience.

Paywalled courses & subscriptions

Sell courses one-off, as bundles, or as a recurring membership. Secure in-app purchases and Stripe billing, free previews, drip-released modules, and clean content gating.

On-demand video library

A searchable, filterable course library with lessons organized by module, topic, or level. Progress tracking, resume-watching, favorites, and offline download keep students moving.

Engagement notifications

Targeted push that drives completion and renewals — lesson nudges, cohort reminders, new-drop alerts, and win-back messages for students who've gone quiet.

Live cohorts & community

Live-streamed sessions, Q&As, and a private member community built in — so your program feels like a place students belong, not just a folder of videos.

How it works

From first conversation to App Store — here's the process.

Simple, transparent, and built around you. No hidden steps, no surprises.

Strategy call

A free 30-minute call to understand your audience, content, and goals. You'll leave with a clear picture of what to build and rough numbers.

Design & scope

We map your brand into screens so you see exactly what your app looks like — before a single line of production code is written.

Build & review

Weekly builds land on your phone throughout development. You test, give feedback, and stay in the loop every step of the way.

Launch & support

We handle App Store and Play Store submission, then keep it healthy and up to date with an ongoing care plan.

Investment

One build you own — instead of a percentage forever.

Questions creators ask

Before you get in touch.

How much does a course or coaching app cost to build?+
Most creator and coaching apps land between $8,000 and $15,000 depending on features like live cohorts, community, the size of your course library, and integrations. You get a fixed quote after the scoping call, so there are no surprises.
How long does it take?+
A typical creator app takes roughly 7–12 weeks from kickoff to App Store launch, depending on scope. You'll have testable builds on your phone well before launch.
Do I own the app, the students, and the revenue?+
Yes. Unlike a course platform, the app is yours — your branding, your code, your student data, and your revenue. No percentage skimmed off every sale.
Can I move my existing course content over?+
In most cases, yes. We can migrate your videos and lessons and integrate with email, payment, or community tools you already use through their APIs. We'll confirm specifics on the scoping call.
What about Apple's in-app purchase rules?+
We handle this for you — structuring purchases to comply with App Store and Play Store policies while keeping your economics as strong as possible. It's a normal part of every build.
