The idea for Vioside started with the introduction of the iPhone 3G and the launch of the App Store. This was the first device that facilitated the distribution of hand-held apps, the first opportunity to deliver a tool to users’ pockets while making use of environment-aware sensors like GPS, camera etc. This was a great tool that could help automate tasks and simplify daily life.
What technologies we use
Xcode is Apple’s dedicated code editor and IDE for apps, utilising the Swift programming language, an industry standard led by Apple itself
These are the two frameworks provided by Apple for developing an app and user interface for iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Vision Pro and Mac.
These are interfaces provided by Apple to utilise the device or operating system’s capabilities. These include, Seamless multi-device experience, Offline functionality. Push notifications for real-time engagement. Camera integration, Location-based services, Bluetooth connectivity, and Apple Wallet integration
At Vioside, we craft simplicity through mobile apps for Apple devices such as iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch and Apple TV. Our team, which makes use of Apple devices in its daily professional and personal life, has a deep understanding of Apple’s ecosystem in order to deliver an app that is intuitive and in-line with what users expect, accessible and future-ready while meeting business goals and requirements.
Vioside specialises in the development of native apps. This means that we use Apple’s technologies directly, which helps us develop an app that is future-proof and ready for when new technologies and devices are released by Apple. This approach also ensures the best possible experience for users, using standards that an Apple user is already accustomed to.
Why Vioside //
We are a small team on purpose so that clients will have direct communication with those doing the work. No bureaucracy and middlemen, but long-lasting relationships.
Our clients have full ownership of the project. We just need access to do the work. Therefore we want to make sure that clients understand what’s going on.
We use industry-standard practices in our work. We support our code with documentation and we review each other’s work. This ensures that any other developer can easily understand it and get to work.
We prioritise best practices to make sure the app is secure and compliant. This also extends further to support accessibility in apps.

We do not retain ownership of anything we develop for you. We will help you open accounts in your name, and all that is developed is owned by you. We simply request access to your accounts so that we can provide you with the services we need to deliver.
Yes, we will help you by explaining the process of what you need to open a developer account with Apple. We will also help with the submission of the apps to the stores and going through Apple’s review process.
We’re flexible according to what the needs of your project or your company are. We can work on an hourly basis, providing estimates as needed, which is ideal for ad-hoc or agile projects. We can work with a fixed-price, ideal for projects which have all the details already ironed out and detailed. And we can work on a retainer basis, having a predetermined set of hours scheduled per month – ideal for long-term development support, for example, to other software development agencies. Or a mix of these as needed.
When working together, we aim for a long-lasting relationship and not a one-off project. After launch, we will help monitor performance and help with troubleshooting. We will also build documentation to help you troubleshoot, and provide user manuals as needed. We also provide a number of support options according to the needs of your company. One option could be on-demand and on an hourly basis, another option is with a number of pre-determined hours per month, or a fully-defined service-level-agreement.
Whenever a client requests that we take over an existing project, we start by requesting to have a look at the existing source code and analyse the current situation. We will then provide you with a report of our findings, which includes how the project is currently working, and any technical debt that might need fixing or adjusting.
You can get started by contacting us with a brief describing what you’re looking for. We can meet up to discuss and iron out the details. After this phase, we will provide our proposal on how we can approach the solution. We will walk you through the whole process.
