I'm Ben Kohler, and I work from Ulm in southern Germany. If you're in Ulm, Neu-Ulm or the surrounding region and need an app, I'm close by: we can meet in person for a first conversation instead of talking on the phone. After that, most of the work happens over video calls and email, as it does for clients across the country.
What I build for you
Apps for the Apple ecosystem: iPhone, iPad and Mac, built natively with Swift and SwiftUI. For every app I also build a website with a privacy policy and a support page. You register the domain and hosting in your own name, and I set them up. Android is possible on request. I build the first version at a fixed price from €999, in writing before we start. How the price comes together is explained in the cost guide.
How we work together
- A free first conversation of about half an hour.
- A written proposal with a fixed price and a schedule.
- A new build of the app on your iPhone every week, through TestFlight.
- Release in your own App Store account, and handover of the source code.
- Optional and free: Roadlight, my feedback board where your users can submit and vote on requests.
I only ever work on one project at a time. That means you have one dedicated contact who knows your app.
My own apps
They show how I work: FamilyManager for families, GymBo as a workout log, Track4Kids for kids and StarTune for the Mac. I write up what changes in them on the blog.
