Your App, Built by a Team That Ships Its Own
We design, build, launch, and operate mobile and web apps end to end. Two of our own products are live in production today, and your project gets the same process and the same QA discipline.
Who We Build For
The projects closest to what we already run ourselves
Startups Launching a First Product
A first version on the web, iOS and Android, launched to the stores and ready for real users.
Communities and Member Platforms
Verified members, feeds, messaging, events and marketplaces: the core of HiNeighbour.
Service Businesses That Run on Bookings
Appointment booking, reminders and customer messaging: the core of ABS Twin.
Teams Adding AI to Customer Service
WhatsApp and voice agents in Arabic and English, built and tested like a product.
Products We Have Shipped
Both are Carnelian products, separate from client work, designed, built and run by our team.
HiNeighbour
A private community platform for residential neighbourhoods, live in Damac Hills 2, Dubai.
Built by Carnelian: the web app, iOS and Android apps from one React Native codebase, the backend, admin tools, and email and push notifications.
ABS Twin
An AI receptionist for salons, spas and clinics in the UAE, answering WhatsApp messages and calls in Arabic and English.
Built by Carnelian: the AI receptionist, WhatsApp and call handling, appointment booking, and the ABS Twin Staff app for salon teams.

One studio, the full stack, no handovers
iOS and Android Apps
One React Native codebase for both platforms, the approach behind HiNeighbour, published to the App Store and Google Play under your brand.
Web Applications
Fast, modern web apps and marketing sites with real SEO: server rendered pages, clean metadata, and measurable performance.
Backends & APIs
Data models, sign in, payments and notifications, with access rules enforced on the server, not only in the app.
Store Launch & Compliance
App Store and Google Play submissions, review handling, listing assets, and release management, handled for you.
Product Design
Wireframes, flows, and interfaces shaped around real users and approved by you before we write code.
Operate & Grow
We run our own apps in production. We can host, monitor, support, and keep improving yours after launch.
How Delivery Works
You see working software at every milestone
01
Discovery
A short call, then a written scope: what the first version must do, who it is for, and what can wait.
02
Design Approval
Wireframes and flows you approve before we write code.
03
Build in Milestones
Working software you can try at each milestone, not a big reveal at the end.
04
QA Built In
Every release goes through our own QA practice: exploratory testing on real devices and automated checks.
05
Acceptance
You test against the agreed scope and sign off before anything goes live.
06
Launch
App Store and Google Play submission, review handling and web deployment, handled for you.
What You Receive
- Approved designs for every screen in scope
- Your app on the web, the App Store and Google Play
- The backend, set up and deployed
- Documentation for handover
After Launch
Fixing defects, routine maintenance, hosting and monitoring, and building new features are different kinds of work. We agree which of them you need, and on what terms, before launch.
We do all four for our own apps, so nothing about running a live product is new to us.
Your First Step
Tell us about your idea. We reply within one working day, usually with a few questions or a time for a short call. The call ends with a clear next step: a written scope with a first version, a timeline and a price.
