One engineering mindset.
We stay deliberately narrow. Every service below is something we've shipped in production for real users — not a buzzword on a menu.

iOS
Swift, SwiftUI and a stubborn respect for the HIG.
- SwiftUI + Combine & async/await
- App Store submission & TestFlight
- WidgetKit, Live Activities, App Clips
03
Flutter
One codebase, two stores, zero compromise on feel.
- Custom rendering & design systems
- Platform channels when it matters
- CI/CD with Codemagic & Fastlane
04
PHP
Laravel & Symfony platforms that don't rot at 2am.
- Laravel APIs, queues & Horizon
- Legacy modernisation & audits
- Headless CMS & commerce back-ends

Python
Django, FastAPI, data pipelines & quiet automations.

Work & Process
How a project travels
from idea to store listing.
Four phases. No surprise invoices. No mystery status updates. We move in the open and ship on a cadence you can plan around.
-
01
Discover
We interrogate the problem before we touch code. Users, constraints, the shape of success.
-
02
Design
Wireframes, prototypes and a design system that survives contact with engineering.
-
03
Build
Weekly builds, an open Slack, CI from day one. You see progress, not PowerPoints.
-
04
Ship
Store submission, monitoring, analytics and a handover that doesn't leave you stranded.

About
A small studio.
A large appetite for hard problems.
xeni CODE is a tight-knit engineering studio founded in 2017. We're the people teams call when the idea is ambitious, the deadline is real, and the details have to be right. No account managers, no stand-up theatre — just senior engineers who ship.
We believe software is a craft. We write tests we'd want to read. We refuse briefs we can't execute well. And we stay small on purpose, so the people you meet on day one are the people still with your project on launch day.

FAQ
Questions we actually get asked.
The short answers. If yours isn't here, ask us directly — we reply within two working days.
01 What platforms does xeni CODE build for?
xeni CODE builds native Android apps (Kotlin, Jetpack Compose), native iOS apps (Swift, SwiftUI), cross-platform Flutter apps, and PHP (Laravel, Symfony) and Python (Django, FastAPI) back-end services.
02 Where is xeni CODE based?
xeni CODE is a software studio based in Cape Town, South Africa. We work remotely with clients worldwide and have been shipping software since 2017.
03 How long does a typical project take?
Most engagements fall between 6 and 16 weeks from kick-off to store submission. We run in weekly build cadences so you always see progress, and we scope upfront to avoid surprise invoices.
04 Do you work with startups or only established companies?
Both. We work with funded startups shipping their first product and with established companies modernising legacy systems. The common thread is that the idea is ambitious and the details matter.
05 Can xeni CODE take over an existing codebase?
Yes. We regularly take over Android, iOS, Flutter, Laravel and Django codebases, starting with an engineering audit before agreeing to a rescue plan or rewrite.
