About Lickability

Lickability is a detail-oriented boutique software studio founded in 2009 in New York City. With just 7 full-time team members and over 60 years of combined experience, they've shipped hundreds of apps to tens of millions of users for clients like Tumblr, Conde Nast, and Clubhouse. They specialize exclusively in iOS and Apple platform development, including watchOS and tvOS, bringing deep platform expertise that larger generalist agencies often lack. Their fully remote US team (primarily NYC area) focuses on craftsmanship and attention to detail, treating each project with the care of building their own products.

Why They Stand Out

Hyper-specialized iOS expertise with 60+ years combined Apple platform experience. Boutique model means direct access to senior engineers on every project. Proven track record with high-profile consumer apps reaching millions of users.

Ideal For

Companies requiring elite iOS development expertise. Projects demanding exceptional attention to detail and Apple design guideline adherence. Organizations wanting senior-only teams without junior resource padding.

Potential Drawbacks (Honest Assessment)

iOS/Apple-only focus means no Android or cross-platform capabilities. Tiny team limits availability - likely books out months in advance. Premium pricing for boutique senior-only model. No in-house design services.
