We build mobile apps that feel fast, reliable, and intentional—on iOS and Android—without turning maintenance into a long-term burden.
ColibriCode is based in Denver, USA. We work with teams that already have strong backends in Drupal, Symfony/Laravel, Python, or Go and need mobile surfaces that plug in cleanly.
Focus
Cross-platform apps
React Native, shared logic, native where it matters.
Experience
Offline-first, push, analytics
Built for real users, not just POCs.
Backends
PHP, Python, Go
APIs that work well with mobile clients.

US-based, remote-first team.
WHY MOBILE APPS
We spend as much time deciding what belongs in the app as we do building it: the key flows, constraints, and events that matter when people are on the move or offline.
FOR USERS
We prioritize responsiveness, touch targets, and flows that can be completed in short bursts of attention.
FOR ENGINEERING
We collaborate with backend teams to design APIs that are realistic for mobile conditions: latency, offline, and versioning.
FOR THE BUSINESS
We tie features and metrics back to the goals that justified the app in the first place.
HOW WE BUILD
We start with shared code in React Native and add native bridges only where the product truly needs them.
We design flows assuming that networks will be slow, flaky, or completely unavailable at times.
Push should feel helpful, not spammy. We wire it to your real events and user preferences.
Instrumentation is tied to business goals: what users do, where they stall, and what features succeed.
COMMON PATTERNS
Not every web feature belongs on mobile. We help you identify the high-leverage scenarios where an app changes the experience, not just the screen size.
Portals for customers, vendors, or partners that extend your web experience into mobile without duplicating everything.
Apps for technicians, drivers, and field teams who work in low-connectivity environments and need reliable offline behavior.
Mobile frontends for existing SaaS products, focused on the most critical on-the-go flows instead of shrinking your web UI.
Lightweight mobile dashboards that surface KPIs and alerts to decision-makers wherever they are.
BACKEND & INFRA
We treat the app as part of your broader platform. That includes API design, auth, observability, and deployment pipelines that work with your existing stack.

FAQ
Which mobile technologies do you typically use?
We primarily use React Native for cross-platform development, with native iOS/Android modules where performance or device capabilities require it. On the backend we usually integrate with Drupal, Symfony/Laravel, Python, or Go services via well-defined APIs.
Can you integrate with our existing PHP, Python, or Go backend?
Yes. We design API contracts that work well on mobile: predictable payloads, stable versions, and clear error semantics. We can help you adapt or extend your existing backend to better support offline sync, authentication, and push notifications.
Do you handle app store submissions and releases?
We can set up CI/CD pipelines, provisioning, and release strategies for both iOS and Android. That usually includes signing, build automation, environment configuration, and a release cadence that fits your team.
Can you improve an existing mobile app instead of rebuilding it?
Often, yes. We start by mapping the current architecture, identifying key issues—performance, instability, UX—and then propose a staged plan: refactors, new features, and only rewriting what truly blocks you.
TALK ABOUT YOUR MOBILE APP
Share who the app is for, what they need to do, and which systems it connects to. We’ll respond with how we’d structure the app and where offline-first, push, and analytics can provide real value.
A short note about your users, platforms (iOS/Android), and backend stack (Drupal, PHP, Python, Go, etc.) is enough to start a concrete conversation.
