Lunabee Studio: we do APPS in the ALPS

Our DNA 🧬
(3min to understand who we are)

Execution matters

We transform your vision and ideas into great Apps. Execution matters: users' expectation on mobile device is super high.
That's why 80% of Apps are opened once, and never opened again.

Android + iOS

Since 2010, Lunabee Studio is the expert in developing premium native Apps from A to Z, on iOS and Android.
What makes us unique

Native only

We develop native Apps only, using Apple and Google great tools and language (Swift / SwiftUI and Kotlin / Jetpack Compose). Not convinced? Read our article on this topic: Why hybrid Apps are crap 💩?

... in the Alps

Mens sana in corpore sano.
We lived and worked in Singapore, Paris, Australia and the US East Coast. Now we're in the middle of the French Alps and Lyon. We like it here: this is the best place for us to feel relaxed and focus when working on your Apps.

Our expertise 🚀

We love mobile apps, from a tech and user experience perspectives. But we also have other special skills and expertise on mobile apps 👇

📲 App's UX+UI

#swiftui #compose #designsystem

We perfectly know the native technologies for iOS and Android, so that we can build a great user experience for your apps. We're as well early adopters of SwiftUI and Jetpack Compose technologies, to build apps with high velocity, and awesome "design systems".

🔐 Security

#appsec #cryptography

We're AppSec pioneers with oneSafe since 2011. With TousAntiCovid as well, we have a strong expertise in terms of mobile app security and cryptography, working for instance with experts at Inria.

🤐 Privacy

#data #gdpr #users

When building apps, we can guide you towards what we believe is a responsible app from a data privacy perspective. Our knowledge on app's privacy will help your users feeling better vis-a-vis their data in your app.

💙 Accessibility

#inclusive #voiceover #talkback

Since 2020, we've further invested in our skills to build accessible apps on iOS and Android, so that users with a visual impairment can use our apps. Our know-how can be super useful for your apps too.

What makes us unique 🤙

✅ We have 2.5M users in 130 countries with oneSafe

Yep, we know what we're talking about.
Our seasoned team has all the skills and expertise in-house to create premium Apps from A to Z, as we did for our own apps many times.
We leverage this hands-on experience to feed you with valuable recommendations and ideas in a proactive manner.

🚀 With TousAntiCovid, 62M+ downloads

We created the TousAntiCovid mobile apps (the French Covid app). Downloaded on more than 62 million unique devices.
👉 And most importantly, it's been the 5th most used app in France in 2021 - more than Netflix, Snap, Waze or Amazon!

❤️ We're your product team

We're not contractors. We leverage our experience to guide you throughout the process of creating an awesome App.
We'll fight for your product and your users' experience, because:

🎉 We want your App to reach new heights
