App Knit

App Knit is a 25-person mobile and web app development agency based in Chandigarh, India, founded in 2017. The team focuses on building products for startup founders without technical co-founders—they handle the code while clients manage customer relationships. They've delivered over 200 mobile apps and maintain a 4.9/5 client satisfaction rating. The agency emphasizes a design-first approach and positions transparency as core to its operations: they promise to communicate real project status, even when things go wrong.

Services and capabilities

App Knit builds iOS and Android apps across marketplace, social, healthcare, and lifestyle categories. Their portfolio spans hyperlocal service marketplaces (Shiftbookd connects users with local beauty services), community platforms (Forthgreen for vegan users), virtual service marketplaces (Gradgab matches students with college mentors via video call), and social discovery apps (Locals lets users find local recommendations and create travel journals). They also work on specialized verticals: mental health (Evexia), dental consultation (Opinion Two), job listings (Litjobs), and travel planning (Onsite, Groupia).

They claim 100% clean, well-documented code. The team states their process captures all necessary information upfront; they emphasize communication frequency as non-negotiable and hire engineers specifically described as "passionate about apps." Client testimonials mention their flexibility with late-stage design changes without scope creep or timeline delays.

Notable work

Shiftbookd, a hyperlocal services marketplace, connects customers with local salons and beauty experts. Founder Alonzo Corbett said the team has been his partner since 2019 and called them "family now." Forthgreen serves the vegan community as a dual marketplace and social network. Gradgab runs a mentor-matching system for prospective college students seeking current student advisors. Locals functions as a social travel discovery platform. Opinion Two is a dental consultation app where users can connect with dentists. Evexia measures and improves mental fitness through guided activities. These projects came from founders like Omer (Aura Technologies), who praised the team's responsiveness and flexibility, and Michale (Simple Rota Maker), who noted the team "worked extremely hard for several years" and delivered "a superb and successful product."

How they work

App Knit expects active client participation and timely feedback to meet timelines. They request proposals via their website form and respond within 24 hours. The company emphasizes that their process depends equally on methodology and people; they hand-pick developers and value communication as the foundation of client relationships. They work with clients across the globe and require that clients be responsive communicators and "nice" to work with—a stated expectation that reflects their belief that quality developers want enjoyable working relationships.
