Product development from idea to ship

We have more than 20 years of experience designing and developing Mac OS applications, and iPhone applications since the SDK became public.

iPhone and Mac OS contract software is our specialty. Drop us a note at info@synapticats.com. We’d love to discuss your project needs and see how we can help bring your great product to market.

Our development cycle

Product Definition

Great products start with great plans. Beginning with a client interview, we create a document that outlines the function of the product. We iterate the design with client involvement, adding wireframes, screenshots, and UI detail until the specification is complete. This ensures that everyone agrees upon exactly what we will produce.

Expert Engineering

Our skilled team of engineers know Mac OS X and iPhone OS from top to bottom. We understand exactly what technologies are best suited to your project, and we will get it done on time and within budget. We are proficient in all aspects of software development, from design and estimation to implementation and beyond: we ship real products.

Deployment

Building a great application is only half the battle. We can help with provisioning your iPhone application and getting it into the iTunes App Store. For Mac OS X applications, we can help with installers and web deployment.

Maintenance

Even the best applications need periodic maintenance. Quickly prioritizing issues and getting fixes into the hands of customers is key. We can provide a maintenance schedule that is cost effective and meets your needs.

iPhone Experience

Our engineers have developed and worked on numerous top-quality and award-winning iPhone applications like eBay, Air Sharing, and Air Sharing Pro. We know the ins-and-outs of the iPhone like no one else, and we know how to ship quality products that will be used by millions of customers.

Mac OS X Experience

We have done it all: stand-alone applications from simple utilities to full-blown page layout, video streaming and video capture, networking, security, scanner software, high-end color correction and separation software, drivers (USB, FireWire, printers, scanners, and keyboards), and more. We can design great-looking, high-performance Mac OS X software that fits your customers’ needs.
