Applications we build
The right tool for the task.
Start with what your customers or team need to accomplish. The platform follows.
Internal tools & dashboards
Operational software for teams working across spreadsheets and disconnected systems. Bring reporting, daily tasks, and relevant information into a workflow designed around the people using it.
Booking & workflow applications
Applications for businesses coordinating bookings or repeat processes. Connect the steps and existing systems so customers and staff can follow a clear path through the work.
Cross-platform mobile apps
Mobile products for iOS and Android, built with React Native and Expo. Our published mobile work includes training and sleep-focused applications with interfaces designed for repeat use.
Relevant work
See the applications in context.
These ongoing projects demonstrate mobile product design, repeat-use workflows, and cross-platform application development. IronStack also includes cloud integration. They illustrate our mobile capabilities; they are not completed client examples of internal business tools, enterprise integrations, or AI automation. Explore the case studies for screens and scope.

IronStack
Training data can become difficult to manage when workouts, exercise history, and progression are spread across disconnected tools.
We designed a cohesive mobile experience that keeps the active workout simple while making deeper training data easy to access.
Our scope: Product strategy, Mobile UX, App development, Cloud integration.

RestWise Sleep
Sleep tools often present too much information at the exact moment users need a simple, low-friction experience.
We created a restrained mobile interface that prioritizes clear routines, useful insights, and comfortable evening interaction.
Our scope: Product design, Mobile UX, App development.

From business problem to working product.
Discovery & scope
Bring the business problem, intended users, and existing systems. We help define priorities, technical direction, and a proposed scope and schedule.
Design & planning
We shape the screens and key user flows around the work people need to do. Your feedback helps refine the experience before development progresses.
Development
We build in stages and share progress throughout. You review the work against the agreed priorities as the application takes shape.
Testing & launch
We test, optimize, and document the application, then prepare it for production. Hosting, infrastructure, and support arrangements are clarified before launch.
Ongoing care
Maintenance, hosting, and further improvements are available. We discuss the support your application needs and scope the next phase around your priorities.
Working together
Senior engineering. Small-team execution.
Marcus leads engineering, drawing on a decade of enterprise software and cloud experience. Valeria brings design, communications, and digital accessibility experience to the studio. Together, we connect the application’s technical needs with how people use and understand it. We focus on the application or capability that creates value, with a lean team and fewer management layers.
We’re based in San Antonio and serve businesses in the Austin area, with remote collaboration available nationwide. You work directly with the builder, and we share progress during development so you can give feedback as the product takes shape.
Scope & budget
Before you build.
App projects are quoted around their scope. Let’s identify the essential features and practical next steps before setting an investment or launch plan.
Do you build web apps, mobile apps, or both?
Both. Web applications run in a browser; our cross-platform mobile work uses React Native and Expo for iOS and Android. We discuss how people will use your product before recommending a platform.
Can you improve an existing application?
Yes. Engagements can include improving an existing product, connecting systems through APIs, modernizing older software, or replacing part of a workflow. Share what you have and where it falls short so we can assess the scope.
What affects development cost and timeline?
The number and complexity of user flows, integrations, platforms, existing code, and launch requirements all affect scope. Apps are quoted separately; after discovery, you receive a proposed investment, schedule, and priorities. Larger software engagements are planned in phases.
What should I prepare for an initial conversation?
Describe who will use the app, the main task it should support, and how that task works today. Include existing systems, must-have features, and any budget or timing constraints. An early idea is enough to begin the discussion.
What happens after launch?
Hosting, maintenance, and ongoing improvements are available through our hosting and support services. We clarify the arrangements before launch based on the application and your needs.
How do we collaborate during development?
ZanaWorks is based in San Antonio and serves businesses in the Austin area, as well as clients nationwide. Meetings and project communication can be handled remotely, with direct answers and progress shared throughout development.
