Kernel is a small Android studio. We start with the smallest true version of your product — the kernel — and grow the app outward from there, one honest release at a time.
Everything the app does traces back to one small, verifiable core.
Everything we do results in a working Android APK, in your GitHub org, with a clean release pipeline attached.
Native Android app built from the kernel outward. Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, MVVM, Room, Retrofit. Six to sixteen weeks depending on shape.
Four-week sprint bolted onto your existing Android codebase. We merge clean, hand back tests, and leave your engineers unblocked.
Two-week deep read of your Android codebase. Report covers architecture, crash rate, build times, release pipeline, next quarter's priorities.
The previous team left. The app is unreleased or badly leaking. We stabilise it, ship a version to the Play Store, and set the ground for a rewrite.
You have an APK; we do the rest. Store listing, screenshots, feature video, staged rollout, first-week review response process.
Monthly capacity across your Android portfolio, used flexibly by the product team. Weekly async check-ins, quarterly strategy call.
Every full build follows the same shape. We publish the shape so you can measure us against it.
Two weeks. Discovery workshop, product surface map, technical shape doc, fixed scope for the build. You walk away with a written plan even if you don't hire us.
Four to twelve weeks of engineering. Weekly demo Fridays with actual APK. A private Slack channel that we watch during working hours.
Two weeks of launch: store listing, screenshots, feature graphic, staged rollout, review response setup, first-week monitoring in a shared dashboard.
Handbook, architecture diagrams, walkthrough with your team, 30-day post-ship support included. After that, retainer if you want us, quiet exit if you don't.
Each of these is running today; each client is a reachable phone call away.
Native Android app for a trust company's private-client portal. Portfolio view, document vault, biometric auth, offline-first read. 14-week build, live on Play, adopted by 78% of eligible members in the first quarter.
Inherited a picker app crashing on the shop floor. Rewrote the offline-sync core in Kotlin, cut crash rate 91%, cut sync time from 42s to under 4s. Now used across 190 stores.
Kernel-out build for a small radio broadcaster. Live streaming, on-demand catch-up, background listen with lock-screen controls. Shipped in 11 weeks and hit 24k monthly listeners inside six months.
Ongoing retainer covering a domiciliary care visit-management app used by 1,400 carers. Monthly capacity of 80 engineer-hours, biweekly demo, quarterly strategy call.
