Already salivating?
Where quality meets delight
We combine expert engineering with a touch of magic. The result? Beautiful, high-quality apps our clients (and their customers) love.
A better way to get the news
At 160 years old, the Atlantic looks better than ever. Learn how we helped them freshen up their design, improve the reading experience, and earn 5 stars in the App Store.
“They’re engaged, timely, and the best vendor we've worked with.”
– Betsy Cole, Executive Director, The Atlantic
Where people protect each other
Citizen is a personal safety network that empowers you to protect yourself and the people you care about. We helped them improve their engineering processes to deliver features faster.
“We’re super pumped about Lickability’s work and our success.”
– Wiktor Macura, Head of Engineering, Citizen
Self care, simplified
Aloe Bud is a pocket companion that reminds you to take care of yourself. From fundraising to design to engineering, we helped an independent entrepreneur ship an award-winning app.
“I highly recommend Lickability for all iOS projects.”
