Sounds familiar?

What usually holds businesses back.

  1. 01

    Your idea is stuck in notes

    You know exactly what the app should do, but not how to get it built, published and paid for.

  2. 02

    Web wrappers feel clumsy

    Apps that are just a website in a frame are slow, drain the battery and collect poor reviews.

  3. 03

    The App Store feels like a maze

    Review rules, subscriptions, screenshots and privacy details — one mistake can delay launch by weeks.

  4. 04

    Your team needs a desktop tool

    Browser tabs aren’t enough for daily work, and off-the-shelf Mac apps don’t fit your process.

What’s included

Everything you need to launch and grow.

  • Truly native apps

    Built for Mac and iPhone the way Apple intended: fast and smooth, with widgets, notifications and dark mode.

  • Design that feels like Apple

    Clean interfaces that follow the platform’s conventions, so people know how to use your app from the first minute.

  • Privacy first

    Data stays on the device or in the user’s own iCloud whenever possible — a real advantage for sensitive information.

  • Subscriptions and in-app purchases

    We set up pricing, free trials and payments through the App Store, so your app can earn from day one.

  • App Store release

    Screenshots, descriptions, review and launch — we guide you along the whole path to publication.

  • Updates and growth

    New versions for every iOS and macOS update, a feature roadmap and improvements based on user feedback.

Process

How we work. Simple, clear, on time.

You always know what is happening, what it costs and when it will be ready.

  1. 1 week

    Discover

    We learn your business, goals and customers, then agree on a clear plan, a fixed price and a date.

  2. 2–3 weeks

    Design

    You click through your future product before we build it — and we polish it together until it feels right.

  3. 4–10 weeks

    Build

    Short cycles and a weekly demo. A test version you can open any time — no disappearing for months.

  4. Ongoing

    Launch & grow

    We launch, train your team and keep improving: support, analytics and new features as you grow.

What affects the cost of an app

The price of Mac and iPhone app development depends on what your app needs to do. Here’s what we look at:

  • Platforms. Mac, iPhone, iPad — or all of them with one shared design.
  • Screens and features. A focused tool with a few screens, or a rich app with many workflows.
  • Data and sync. Data kept only on the device, sync between the user’s devices, or a connection to your own service.
  • Business model. Subscriptions, one-time purchases, or a free app with paid extras.

A focused first version starts from $8,000 and is usually ready in 8–12 weeks. You get a fixed price for each stage.

How we work with you

We start by defining the smallest version that is truly useful, then design the key screens and let you try them on your own device. Development runs in short cycles with a new test version every week, so you can use the app long before release. If it needs to work with your existing systems, we take care of that too. Then we prepare the App Store page, pass review and plan the next updates with you.

Why Daxive: we ship our own apps

Dokhid is our own finance app for Mac, made for sole proprietors and freelancers in Ukraine. It keeps income in one place, calculates taxes, creates invoices and reminds about reporting deadlines — calmly and privately, with data kept on the user’s device. Building and supporting our own product taught us what makes people open an app every day: speed, clarity and trust.

  • Native quality. Smooth animations, widgets, notifications and dark mode — everything people expect from Apple devices.
  • Privacy by default. We store as little data as possible and keep sensitive information on the device.
  • Long-term care. Updates for every new version of iOS and macOS, so your app keeps working and looking right.
  • One team from idea to release. Design, development and App Store launch in one place, with one point of contact.

Ask a question
How much does it cost to develop a Mac or iPhone app?

Our apps start from $8,000 for a focused first version on one platform. The price depends on the number of screens, sync between devices, subscriptions and integrations. Covering both Mac and iPhone costs less than two separate projects.

Can you build one app for both Mac and iPhone?

Yes. We design one experience that adapts to each device and share most of the work between them, so you get both platforms faster and for less.

Will you publish my app to the App Store?

Yes. We prepare screenshots, descriptions and privacy details, go through App Store review and handle any feedback until your app is live.

How do apps make money in the App Store?

The most common models are subscriptions, one-time purchases and free apps with paid extras. We help you choose the model that fits your audience and set up trials and payments.
