Practical guides on habits, learning, video, games, websites and documents. Each one names its sources and, where we ran a test ourselves, says what we did, when and how.

Inside the apps and games

Screens taken from the products we publish, not mock-ups. Each one links to the product page, with more screens, the steps, the limits we know about and the version history.

Why this site exists

We make apps, games and web products, and the questions behind that work are questions many people have, whether or not they ever install anything of ours: how a habit lasts past the first week, how to read a script to a camera, how to put a small website online, how to check what an app does with your data. We write the guides here to answer them in plain English. Each guide names its sources and, where we ran a test ourselves, says what we did, when and how. How we choose, check and correct what we publish is on our publishing principles page.

One studio, the whole job.

We work as one studio: design, engineering and publishing under one name and one standard. A product is carried from the first sketch to the update after release by the same studio. We keep our company details, our policies and our contact route in the open.

What we make

  • Mobile appsFor iPhone, iPad and Android, from concept and design to code, store assets and release.
  • GamesOnline and offline, made for touch.
  • Web productsWeb applications and the services behind them: the interface, the logic and the data.
What we do in full

What a product page shows.

Every product page is built the same way, so you can check a release for yourself.

  1. Screens

    Captured from the live apps, not mocked up.

  2. Versions

    Each with its date and what changed.

  3. Limits

    What a product does not do is on its page.

  4. Support

    Its own privacy policy, terms and support page.

How we work, one release followed through

What you can hold us to.

Sources named, limits stated, corrections dated, and one address for everything: info@mobixify.com.

Our standards

We check accessibility, speed and privacy before a page goes live.

How we build
our standardsheld to on each release we publish
  • accessibility

    We aim for WCAG 2.2 level AA on our websites, and we test them by keyboard.

  • speed

    We set size and speed budgets and test against them.

  • privacy

    We use Google Analytics only to see how this website is used, and you can turn it off on the Cookies page. Fonts come from our own domain. Each product's privacy policy says what that product does.

Our website is served over HTTPS only; we publish a way to report a security problem.

The Store, counted.

Every figure here is counted from the Store's own records and links to them.

Check us against the public record

Registered with the Information Commission (ICO), the UK’s data protection regulator. Each fact links to its source.

Open to collaborations

Most of what we do is our own work, and we like working with other people. If you have a project, an idea or a partnership in mind, write to us and tell us a little about it.
