Lickability

Lickability is an app studio in New York City that designs, builds and maintains mobile software for startups and large companies. Most work is native, written in Swift for Apple platforms and Kotlin for Android, with cross-platform builds where they suit the product.

The studio covers the full product cycle. Product managers handle strategy, scoping, user research and accessibility audits. Designers produce UI and UX, design systems and high-fidelity prototypes. Engineers build the apps and their backends, test them, and support them after launch. Lickability also places engineers inside client teams and advises on engineering process. It is a partner agency for RevenueCat and Superwall, two tools for in-app subscriptions and paywalls.

Published client work includes a Swift rebuild of The Atlantic's iOS app, the official Mastodon app for iPhone, and RevenueCat's first iOS app with widgets and charts. The studio has also built apps for Citizen, The Browser Company and Exo Imaging. Accessibility and well-tested code are central to how it works.
