We build apps.
Then we keep them running.

CommonerApps designs and builds iOS, Android and web apps for small businesses and founders. We also make and run our own, like Trackara Pro, the business app mobile mechanics use to quote, schedule and get paid.

How a project runs

Four stages, one point of contact, and a working build in your hands long before launch day.

    Design

    Wireframes, then real screens, revised with you until they are right.

Common questions

Something else on your mind? Send us a message and we will get back to you, usually the same day.

What apps has CommonerApps built?

More than 90 apps for clients and for ourselves, across iOS, Android and the web. Our own products include Trackara Pro, a business app for mobile mechanics; Trackara, a build tracker for car enthusiasts; AncestorOS, genealogy software for family historians and professional genealogists; and Nuntex, an AI chief of staff that is currently in beta.

How long does it take to build an app?

Most apps take 8 to 12 weeks from start to finish. Simple apps can be done in 6 to 8 weeks, while complex features extend the timeline. You get a realistic estimate after the discovery call.

How much does a typical app cost?

Simple apps start at $500. Most business apps range from $1,000 to $5,000. Complex apps with advanced features cost more. You get an exact quote once we understand your requirements.

Can you really build an app for $500?

Yes, for a focused app with a small set of screens. That includes design, development and App Store submission. If your idea needs more, we tell you before you pay anything.

Do you build both iOS and Android apps?

Yes. We build native iOS apps, native Android apps and web applications, and recommend the right mix for your users and budget.

What happens after the app launches?

You get 3 months of free support for bug fixes and minor updates. After that, choose an affordable maintenance plan, or work with any developer, since you own all the source code.

Will I own the app and its code?

Yes. Once the project is complete and paid for, you own everything: the app, the source code, the designs and all assets. No ongoing license fees.
