About 216apps
216 is the area code for Cleveland, Ohio. It's where we're from, and it's in everything we build.
What we do
216apps designs, builds, and ships iOS apps for businesses that have real customers and no mobile presence. We handle everything — product strategy, UI/UX design, native Swift development, and App Store submission. You come in with an idea or a problem. You leave with a live app.
How we work
We don't do bloated agency teams, hourly billing, or projects that drag on for a year. One focused engagement, one team, fixed timeline. Brief to App Store in 3 weeks. You know who's building your app because they're the same people on every call.
Why iOS
We build natively in Swift — not cross-platform shortcuts. Native means better performance, better App Store approval rates, and apps that actually feel like apps. We don't cut corners because the result shows up in your reviews.
Who we build for
Local businesses, independent brands, and early-stage startups. If you have customers who pull out their phone, you have an opportunity we can help you take. We've shipped for college marketplace startups and we're actively working with companies across food, fitness, retail, and services.
