About
Cognitain's studio for client products.
Small on purpose. The people who scope your product are the people who build and ship it.
Cognitain builds systems that amplify human cognition. AINCHOR applies that same standard to your mobile product.
We started AINCHOR because the gap between “an app that works” and “an app that feels like it belongs on the platform” is where most agencies stop, and where the actual product lives.
So we lead with Apple-native. Swift and SwiftUI across iPhone, Watch, iPad and Mac, using the current frameworks rather than the ones that were current when the team last learned them. When a product genuinely needs to be everywhere, we extend to Kotlin and React Native, as a decision we can defend, not a default.
Every engagement gets a written scope, a working build every week, and a release you own outright. Source, pipelines, store accounts and architecture notes all transfer to you.

01Principles
How we work, written down.
These are the things we'd want to know before hiring a studio, so we say them first.
Senior hands only
The people who scope your project are the people who build it. No handoff to a junior bench.
Native where it counts
We reach for React Native deliberately, not reflexively. The platform decision is argued, then written down.
Honest scopes
A number we can stand behind beats a number that wins the pitch. Change requests get repriced in the open.
You own everything
Source, pipelines, store accounts and the architecture notes. No lock-in, no hostage keys.
