What is Mind Studios?

Mind Studios - Long-Term Technology Partner for Growth-Stage and Mid-Market Companies

Founded in 2013, Mind Studios is a custom software development company working with growth-stage and mid-market businesses across the US, UK, Europe, and MENA. The portfolio spans logistics platforms, real estate marketplaces, healthcare systems, and fitness ecosystems - operationally critical products built for companies where technology is central to how the business runs.

The team engages at the architecture stage, before the critical decisions get locked in. Business analysis, technical scoping, and honest pushback on briefs that won't hold up at scale are standard. The goal from day one is a system that doesn't need to be rebuilt in two years.
What distinguishes Mind Studios is what happens after launch. Scaling infrastructure, iterating on features, extending systems as the business grows - this is where most of the value gets built, and where long-term client relationships form. The average engagement runs over two and a half years. Many go considerably longer.

The vendor states that the company has 100+ specialists, and that they have 13 years in business. They currently boast a 70% client retention rate.

Screenshot of Unight - Nightlife Marketing Platform
A nightlife event and venue platform for Chinese cities, built entirely within the constraints of the Chinese market — no Google Maps, no Stripe, no Western social integrations. Mind Studios conducted business analysis of the Chinese nightlife market before writing a line of code, then built a platform with WeChat integration, QR-based check-in and payment flows, event discovery, ticket purchases, social features, and a separate staff app for venue operations. #1 selling solution in Shanghai, 390 venues on board, ¥10K average revenue from tickets sold.
Screenshot of Rentorr - Real Estate Platfrom in South Africa
South Africa's first long-term rental marketplace, built to connect landlords, tenants, and maintenance contractors in one platform. The central challenge was trust: Mind Studios integrated a South African banking API to run automated tenant solvency checks and assign credibility scores before any tenancy could proceed. Three distinct user roles — landlord, tenant, contractor — built on a single architecture. The project was completed in 2017 and served as the foundation for the real estate work that followed.
Screenshot of Fitr - Health & Fitness Remote Coaching App
A coaching platform where fitness professionals manage clients, programs, payments, and messaging in one place. Mind Studios joined in 2018, conducted a full discovery phase, pushed back on the existing approach, restarted from the right architecture, and has been the product's engineering partner for seven years since. Coaches on the platform have collectively earned over £10M. 130K monthly visits, 1 in 4 coaches pays for the service, 50% of coaches who sign up are still active a year later. Ongoing engagement.
Screenshot of MyMP3Pool - One-stop shop for all things MP3
A music streaming platform for professional DJs that was losing traffic while competitors moved faster. Mind Studios started with a business model analysis and user research, identified the core UX and performance gaps, and rebuilt the platform from scratch — new architecture, redesigned interface, bulk download functionality, ID tag validation system, and full migration of all user data and subscriptions. 66K monthly visits, 30K daily tracks downloaded, 9.28 pages per visit.
Screenshot of Handy Offline Route Planner
A travel app that helps users make the most of short city visits by generating personalized itineraries based on schedule, budget, and preferences. Mind Studios built iOS and Android apps with interactive navigation, MapBox integration, real-time notifications, and both ready-made and custom route options. The admin system was built to support a large content team adding locations and building routes at scale — because the product only works if the content operation behind it does too.
Screenshot of Social network for top athletes.
SternFit is a startup designed for passionate athletes willing to create their own exercise, diet or supplementation program - or for someone who has just made up his mind to get fit.

After the series of style explorations, the solution we eventually picked was the cleanest and the simplest concept at the same time, bletchingly white, leaving a comfy feeling of space as the user’s impression. The chosen style is pretty decluttered, re-creating the vibes you might spot in a classy gym.
Screenshot of Real Estate Management App for MENA Region
The first property management platform built for the MENA real estate market. Mind Studios designed and built iOS and Android apps with financial portfolio overviews, ML-powered contract scanning, automated Hijri calendar calculations, payment notifications, and analytics — with a fully mirrored Arabic RTL interface. What started as a payment calendar has evolved into a full task management system for property owners, with a Premium tier in the roadmap.
Screenshot of Pampr - Grocery Delivery Service
A luxury concierge and grocery delivery service on Nantucket Island, digitizing a business that had been running on a phone line, a landing page, and manual processes. Mind Studios ran discovery first to identify accurate user personas across vacationers, butlers, and admins, then built a mobile-responsive web platform covering the full service workflow. Deployed before the 2022 summer season: 1,000+ completed orders, 2,000+ hours of vacation time saved, 560+ regular customers. The business has since expanded to neighboring locations.
Screenshot of Dr. CHO - Medical Questionnaire Solution
A pre-visit medical intake platform that automates patient questionnaire collection before the appointment. Mind Studios built it in two phases: a static questionnaire in 2020, then a fully dynamic adaptive system in 2022 where questions respond to prior answers in real time. The platform auto-generates structured medical notes in natural language, includes an interactive body map for patients to mark symptoms with location and photos, and is currently being prepared for Epic EHR integration and an NLP chatbot layer. Second engagement with this client — the first project started in 2013.
Screenshot of James - Food delivery mobile application
Four native apps — buyer iOS, buyer Android, shopper iOS, shopper Android — plus a complex backend, built in three months from rough visual mockups for a Danish on-demand delivery platform. Mind Studios started with a full product roadmap and user flow prioritization to hit the deadline without cutting the wrong corners. Launched on time, hit all KPIs within three months: 4,639 registered buyers, 1,946 shoppers, 4,972 shopping lists created.
Screenshot of Envol - Holistic healing assistance solution
A holistic healing platform for people recovering from chronic illnesses and injuries, founded by Julie Morin who developed the methodology while recovering from a condition that had left her in a wheelchair. Mind Studios audited an underperforming existing Android app, rebuilt it from scratch, launched iOS simultaneously, and migrated all users across — all while conducting market research and user surveys to understand the actual target audience before redesigning. The result combines meditation, wellness, habit tracking, and journaling in one architecture. 30K users, 43% retention rate. Ongoing engagement.
Screenshot of eBook reader for iOS and Android
A multi-surface reading platform — iOS, Android, and landing site — built for a genre-specific fiction audience that mainstream reading apps don't serve. Features span eBook and audiobook consumption, author-following, social discovery, bookmarking, reviews, missions, and gamified engagement. Built for two founders who are also authors. 50K+ app installs, 7 books purchased per user on average, 14% install conversion rate.
Screenshot of Wise UP - Digital Training Platform
The Austrian Chamber of Commerce needed more than an LMS — they needed the business layer around it. Mind Studios built a custom Account Management Module over the EdCast platform handling invoicing, CRM, and billing for individual contractors, SMBs, and large enterprises. The work included SSO integration, 67 UX wireframes, 110 UI screens, and a backend built for enterprise-scale billing with volume discounts, multi-department invoicing, and accounting system integration. Ongoing support engagement since launch in late 2021.
