Ticksy was a working app. It just wasn't making money.
Most apps don't fail because the code is bad. They fail because they look generic, do too little, and never convert. That's exactly where Ticksy was: a functional MVP with no brand, limited scope, and zero revenue.
Here's what changed when we treated it as a product, not just a build:
A brand that sells. Full redesign that turns first impressions into retention. Every screen, every interaction, every micro-animation was rebuilt to feel premium.
More reasons to stay. A new Notes feature widened the use case and pushed daily usage. The app went from "task list" to "daily command center."
Revenue from day one. Monetization built into the experience without degrading it. Subscriptions, premium features, and a paywall that feels fair.
Ready for the market. Fully prepared to ship on Google Play and the App Store. Not "almost ready." Actually ready.
We took it from prototype to a polished, revenue-ready product without rewriting what already worked.
Before vs. After: see the difference below.
Thinking about building or fixing a product? Whether it's an idea on paper or an MVP that isn't converting, we take products from idea to market: design, development, backend, publishing, and monetization.

Both are amazing! The purple definitely has better contrast, but I’d still go with the berry one, purely a personal preference
Testing doesn't have to slow your team down.
A motion design concept for Hostable focused on simplifying the testing workflow.
A flowing gradient path, glowing UI elements, and smooth transitions turn a technical process into a simple and visually engaging experience.
The gradient path leading the eye to Run workflow works well. Did you build the loop in After Effects?
I built a lamp that switches on with your scroll. 💡
NOCTE is a concept site for a modular table lamp. Scroll into the configurator and the cream page fades into night, the lamp lights up, and its warm light tints the whole page.
Change the light from 2200 K to 3000 K and the page shifts with it.
Pick the shade, body and cable, and every lamp gets its own link.
Built from code, with no 3D model files.
Which finish would you choose?
Looks amazing
