A founder-led UK product studio designing and building premium iOS apps, games, and digital products. Quiet craft. Careful engineering. Designed with intent.
Focused software for everyday use. Refined interfaces, careful defaults, and the details that make a product feel inevitable.
02
Games
Original interactive worlds, built with feel. We treat games as designed experiences — playful, well-made, and worth coming back to.
03
Interactive products
Tools, toys, and experiences that sit between categories. The kind of things easier to use than to describe.

Our projects
Built to be kept.
Three products. One standard. Each one designed and engineered end-to-end by Alderframe.

Our approach
How we build.
Three principles that run through everything we make.
01
Clarity
Strip a product back to what matters. Every screen, every word, every interaction earns its place.
02
Craft
Considered typography, motion, and detail. The kind of polish that is felt before it is noticed.
03
Performance
Fast, responsive, and dependable. A product is only as good as it feels in the hand.
About Alderframe
A small studio building things worth keeping.
Alderframe is a UK product company. We design and build polished software across apps, games, and interactive products — considered, well-made, quietly modern.
We are not an agency. We build our own products, and partner selectively when the work is right.
A focused, end-to-end app-building service for founders, creators, and businesses — from idea to App Store-ready. Fixed-price catalog from £480 (Polish) to £18,000 (MVP Build), with everything in between. Custom enquiries quoted in 5 working days, no obligation.
Product strategy
Clarify the idea: who it’s for, what it must do well, and what to leave out for v1.
UI/UX & Figma
Considered visual design and click-through prototypes — feel the product before code is written.
iOS development
Native Swift / SwiftUI with the system features that make an app feel like an Apple app.
App Store launch
Listing, screenshots, privacy nutrition label, legal pages, and a calm launch plan.

What is Freshli?
Freshli: Food Expiry Tracker is an iOS app from Alderframe that tracks expiry dates across your fridge, freezer and pantry. Scan a barcode, snap a receipt, or add items by hand; Freshli warns you before food spoils, suggests recipes built around what needs using, and totals what you save. Version 2.0 (August 2026) is a smaller, faster rebuild with far more reliable notifications. Live on the App Store.
What is RouteSky?
RouteSky: Weather Route GPS is an iOS app from Alderframe, live on the App Store. It’s turn-by-turn navigation with the weather for your whole route, matched to when you’ll reach each point — with explained Journey Scores, the best time to leave, CarPlay and Apple Watch. Version 3.0 (September 2026) added weather on the CarPlay map, a Departure Countdown and Ask RouteSky. It’s an advisory tool, not a safety-critical service.
What is VeloScore?
VeloScore is a live scores app in development from Alderframe — eleven sports, including football, the NBA and Formula 1, in one calm, fast feed that opens from your iPhone first, with widgets and Live Activities. It isn’t on the App Store yet.
