Native iOS. Cross-platform React Native. AI agents built in. I take apps from an empty project to a live App Store listing.
Bring your idea - you'll leave with a clear next step, I clarify your need and see if I'm really the right fit.
Real work that shipped to the App Store - a fitness platform that talks to gym hardware, a screen-time app that actually enforces focus, and a streaming catalogue rebuilt for speed.
Hardware that needed an app
Native iOS app that pairs over Bluetooth with ergometers, rowing machines and bikes - live metrics in, guided training programs out. Shipped in six languages with HealthKit sync.
Screen time, actually enforced
Built on Apple's ScreenTime API to lock distracting apps and pay users back in points for staying focused. Getting that framework to behave reliably was most of the work.
Redesign and rescue
A 1,500-title catalogue of classic film and television. I redesigned the interface and fixed the performance problems that made a library that size stutter.
Everything an app needs across its life - building it, proving it works, shipping it, and keeping it healthy afterwards.
Native iOS in Swift and SwiftUI, or React Native when you need both platforms from one codebase.
Finding what breaks before your users do - on the devices and OS versions they actually own.
Keeping a shipped app healthy - crashes triaged, regressions caught, dependencies current.
Automating the tedious half of shipping, so a release stops being an event you dread.
For apps that already work but feel slow, dated, or awkward to move around in.
The part behind the app - data, accounts, and AI features where they genuinely help.
Four steps from first call to a live App Store listing - you always know what happens next.
Thirty minutes to understand the app you want and who opens it. I'll say honestly whether I'm the right fit.
A written plan: what ships in version one, what waits for later, how long it takes and what it costs.
TestFlight builds early and often, so you are using the real app on a real device long before launch day.
I handle submission, review and release - then stick around for crash reports and the next version.
Apps built and shipped for clients - every one of these is live on a store today.

Start a phone-free zone with the people around you and earn real rewards for staying off the screen.
Entertainment
A streaming library of more than 1,500 restored classic films, TV shows and serials from the golden age.
Productivity
Screen time limits that turn into rewards - block the distracting apps for a session and earn your way back.
Productivity
Scan anything into a clean, sharp PDF, then summarise, question or sign it - all on device with Apple Intelligence.
Business
Photo and video vehicle inspection for rental fleets - damage recorded and proven before and after every trip.
Health & Fitness
Bluetooth companion for Skandika ergometers - live workout metrics and guided sessions, in six languages.
Lifestyle
Log every bird, wildlife and plant sighting, put it on the map and share the find with friends.
Health & Fitness
Bedtime stories, meditations and sleep sounds that help children settle and fall asleep faster.
Verified reviews from client after work delivered.
Ninety seconds, unscripted: what it was like to build and ship the app together.

Highly Skilled iOS Developer! I had the pleasure of working with Chirag G on an iOS app project, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the results. From the beginning, he showcased exceptional expertise in Swift and iOS development, ensuring a smooth and efficient workflow. Chirag is not only technically skilled but also highly professional and proactive. He communicates clearly, meets deadlines, and goes the extra mile to improve the project with his valuable insights. His problem-solving skills and attention to detail truly set him apart. If you're looking for a top-notch iOS developer, I highly recommend Chirag G. I would love to collaborate with him again in the future!

Chirag is the very best. We have worked together for several years and will be starting a new project this week.

Interface redesign & performance work
Chirag has been fantastic to work with! He's extremely responsive, communicates clearly, works incredibly fast, and consistently delivers high-quality work at a very reasonable price. We've worked with him extensively on a major overhaul of our app's backend logic, numerous new features, UI refinements, bug fixes, and much more. What really sets Chirag apart is how much he goes above and beyond. He genuinely cares about the product, proactively identifies things we can improve, suggests new features, and even shares ideas for how we can grow and scale the app. He's extremely flexible, dependable, and always willing to help. On top of all that, he's just a genuinely great guy and a pleasure to work with. I couldn't recommend Chirag more highly!

Backend overhaul, new features & UI refinements
Small, focused iOS components and demos I keep public - custom controls, SwiftUI experiments and integration samples.
A custom SwiftUI tab bar with an animated selected state, built as a drop-in replacement for the system one. My most-starred public repo.
A SwiftUI movie browser wired to a remote catalogue API - list, detail and image loading. The largest of my public samples.
A working SwiftUI and Cloud Firestore integration - reading and writing live collections without the boilerplate.
A semi-circular slider control with gesture-driven value tracking, for dials and gauges the standard slider cannot express.
An iOS and React Native developer from Ahmedabad, building for domestic and international clients since 2021.
I build mobile apps end to end - architecture, interface, device integrations and the App Store release itself. Five years in, across three product companies, most of that time has gone into native iOS with React Native alongside it when a client needs both platforms from one codebase.
The work I enjoy most is the part that's hard to fake: pairing with Bluetooth hardware, keeping data intact with no connection, bending Apple's ScreenTime and HealthKit frameworks into shape, and making apps fast again after they've grown heavy. Lately I've been folding AI agents into that mix.
