Software services and our own apps

We build the software, then we stay to run it.

Truestep Solutions is a service based software company in India. Web and mobile products, consulting, cloud, and the design that decides whether any of it gets used. We publish our own our own apps too, which is how we stay honest about what shipping costs.

01 Services

What we are hired to do.

Flagship

Web and mobile products

The whole thing, not a layer of it: the interface, the API behind it, the data model underneath, the tests that keep it honest and the pipeline that puts it in front of users. Native iOS and Android where the platform matters, cross platform where it does not.

New products, and rescues of existing ones
Accessibility targeted at WCAG 2.2 level AA
Through App Store and Play Store review

Web development → Service

Mobile apps

Swift and SwiftUI, Kotlin and Compose, or one shared codebase when that is genuinely the right call.

Read more → Service

Consulting and architecture

An outside read on the system, the roadmap and the spend, written down and ranked by cost of doing nothing.

Read more → Service

Websites with a content management system

Marketing sites that load fast on a mid range phone, carry the structure search engines actually reward, and let your own team publish a page on a Friday without filing a ticket.

Read more → Service

Cloud and DevOps

Infrastructure you can rebuild from a repository, releases that are dull, and a bill you can explain.

Read more → Service

UI and UX design

Research and interface design that ends in documented components, not a folder of pictures.

Support retainers

A named contact, agreed response targets and someone who answers when it breaks at an inconvenient hour.

02 Ways to work together

Three shapes, one starting point.

M.1

Fixed scope

A defined outcome for a defined fee, when the finish line can be written down. Change goes through a written change note rather than arriving as a surprise on an invoice.

M.2

Dedicated team

Engineers embedded in your repository, your standups and your review process, billed by the month. For roadmaps that will keep moving, which is most of them.

M.3

Retainer

Monitoring, fixes and small improvements after launch, with a named contact and published response targets. The unglamorous half of shipping software.

Every engagement starts with a short paid discovery, because a fee quoted without a scope is a guess wearing a number. See what each model covers.

03 How we work

Four steps. No status theatre.

Discover

A short paid discovery that ends in a written scope, the risks named and a definition of done. You own that document whether or not we build it.

Design

Flows, screens and the data model, agreed before the build. Deciding on a prototype costs hours. Deciding in production costs weeks.

Build

Two week iterations, each ending in a working build you can click. Progress shows up as software, not as a percentage in a spreadsheet.

Operate

Monitoring, fixes and improvements under a retainer, or a clean handover with the documentation your team needs to run it without us.

04 Our own apps

We ship our own products too.

Client work pays the bills. Our own products keep us honest. Everything below went through the same App Store review, privacy rules and support load that we ask clients to plan for.

Apex Health: Sleep & Recovery

Your body, decoded daily.

Apex Health reads the Apple Health and Apple Watch data you already generate and turns it into five daily scores and one clear verdict: how hard to push, when to rest, and why. Every calculation runs on the device. No account, no analytics, nothing uploaded.

Strain, Recovery, Sleep, Stress, Energy
One verdict every morning
Computed entirely on device

Five pillars, computed on the device each morning from data already in Apple Health.

05 Where we do our best work

Problems we have earned an opinion about.

Regulated and sensitive data

Systems that will be audited

Access controls, audit trails, retention rules and a data model that can answer where a record came from. Built so a compliance review is a reading exercise, not an archaeology dig.

Marketplaces and logistics

State that has to stay correct

Orders, inventory and movements across systems that fail independently, with idempotent operations and reconciliation so a retry never charges twice or loses a shipment.

Internal tools

The software nobody demos

Operations consoles, admin panels and reporting used by the same twenty people all day. Speed and keyboard reachability matter more here than a landing page ever will.

Founder led products

Getting to a real first version

A scope small enough to ship, built so the second version does not require starting again. We are usually the first engineering team, and we plan for not being the last.

Legacy rescue

Systems nobody wants to touch

An honest read on what is worth keeping, then incremental replacement behind a stable interface. Rewrites that stop the business are not modernisation.

Health and fitness

Sensor data into decisions

Wearable and Apple Health data, scoring models that have to be defended to a sceptical user, and privacy rules that make the easy architecture unavailable. We know the cost of this because we carry it in our own app.

06 Principles

What we refuse to compromise.

P.1

Private by design

User data is not a business model. We compute on the device where the platform allows it, collect the minimum where it does not, and never sell or share personal data.

P.2

Say the inconvenient thing

If the project should be smaller, delayed, bought instead of built, or given to someone else, we put that in writing. It costs us work and earns the next conversation.

P.3

Engineered, not assembled

We pick the boring, well supported option unless there is a real reason not to, and document as we go, because your team has to run this after we leave.

07 FAQ

Questions, answered.

What does Truestep Solutions actually do?

We are a service based software company in India. Clients hire us to design, build and run web and mobile products, to review an existing system, to put a marketing site on a content management system, or to sort out their cloud and delivery pipeline. We also publish our own our own apps, of which Apex Health: Sleep & Recovery is the first.

How does an engagement start?

With a short paid discovery. We agree the problem, the scope and the risks in writing before anyone starts building, and you own that document whether or not we go on to do the build.

What do you charge?

We do not publish rates, because a number without a scope is meaningless. Discovery ends with a firm range you can plan against, and fixed scope engagements are quoted as a defined fee for a defined outcome.

Do you work with clients outside India?

Yes. We work across time zones and keep a written record of decisions so progress does not depend on everyone being awake at once. Our working day overlaps with European and North American mornings.

Who owns the code you write?

You do. Ownership of delivered work transfers to you as set out in the statement of work once fees are paid, and we hand over the repository, the infrastructure definitions and the documentation needed to run it without us.

Is Apex Health free, and is my health data private?

It is completely free, and yes. Apex Health processes your Apple Health data entirely on your device. There is no account and no analytics in the app, nothing is uploaded to us, and the only outbound call sends coarse coordinates to a weather service when you grant location access.

Where Apex Health: Sleep & Recovery stands today

A development note rather than a release note. Apex Health: Sleep & Recovery is version 1.0, it is not on the App Store yet, and this is what is actually built and running on our.

Re-deriving the scores, and opening the beta

Before opening the beta we went back through every core score and made it personal. Recovery and strain read against a weighted baseline of your own history. Sleep is scored on.
