Web & mobile development agency · Vilnius, Lithuania
Wise Apps Lab is a Ruby on Rails development agency in Vilnius. We build web platforms solid enough to run a business on, and ship them as real iOS and Android apps from the same code – one project instead of three, and all of it yours from the first commit.
15+ years of Ruby on Rails, most of it shipping and running production systems inside other people's engineering teams. GitHub · LinkedIn
Four kinds of work. If your project doesn't fit neatly into one of them, say so – we'll tell you honestly whether we're the right agency for it.
Real apps, installed from the App Store and Google Play, with native navigation, tabs and push notifications. They run on the same Rails codebase as your web platform, so there is no second team, no second backlog and no API to keep in sync.
SaaS products, marketplaces, customer portals and internal systems built with Ruby on Rails and Hotwire. Conventional architecture, tested where it matters, on a deployment pipeline you own and could run without us.
You have an idea and a deadline. We scope the smallest version that still proves something, build it in Rails, and put it in front of real users before the budget disappears.
Inherited a Rails codebase nobody wants to touch, or stuck several versions behind? We audit it, write down what we find, upgrade what is holding you back, and get you shipping again.
Four steps from a first email to steady delivery. Nothing here needs a signature until step three.
Step 1
Email or call us. Thirty minutes, no deck. We ask what you're building, who it's for and what's riding on the deadline.
Step 2
You get a short document: what we'd build first, what we'd deliberately leave out, a time range and a price range. Free, and yours to keep even if you walk away.
Step 3
Two weeks, fixed price, narrow goal. At the end you have a working prototype and a clear read on whether you want to keep going with us.
Step 4
Weekly releases to web and, once the apps are live, to the stores on the same cadence. A shared board, one direct channel, and scope changes discussed before they're built rather than invoiced afterwards.
Six commitments that hold on every project we take. Hold us to them.
If we haven't done something before, or we can see where a project is likely to stall, you hear it on the first call – not three months in.
No month-long silences. Each week ends with something running that you can click, break and comment on.
No hand-off from a salesperson to an unknown team. You work directly with a senior engineer – the person on your call is the person writing the code.
Repository, infrastructure, store accounts and documentation are yours from day one. You stay because the work is good, not because leaving would be hard.
We use AI where it genuinely speeds the work up. Every line is reviewed by an experienced engineer, and architecture and product decisions stay human.
We keep the team small so you get senior attention instead of a layer of project managers between you and the work.
Three ways to start, all of them easy to stop. We quote once we understand the scope – no rate card that pretends every project is the same.

2 weeks, fixed price
Web and mobile, to launch
Monthly, rolling
A second opinion
Days, not months
Software that stays useful is mostly a consequence of boring, well-supported tools. We'd rather pick something your next hire already knows than something clever we'd have to explain.
Yes – real apps you install from the App Store and Google Play, with native navigation, tabs, gestures and push notifications. What fills the screens is served by your Rails app, which is why one team keeps web, iOS and Android in step. For products built around content, forms and dashboards, users cannot tell. For a 3D game or heavy offline use it is the wrong tool, and we will say so rather than sell it to you.
We use AI daily – for ideas, tests, migrations and generating code. Every line still gets read by an experienced engineer before it ships, and architecture is decided by people. It makes us faster, not less careful.
It depends on scope, and we won't pretend otherwise. After the first conversation you get a written range with the assumptions behind it. If the number doesn't work for you, we'll say so early rather than pad the estimate.
The people you talk to. We're a small agency and we keep it that way deliberately – no hand-off to a team you've never met.
Yes. We can join your repository, your board and your standups, or work as a separate stream with a clear interface between us. Both work; we'll suggest which fits.
Usually as soon as the scope is agreed – there's no procurement queue or resourcing meeting between you and the start. If there is a wait, you'll hear the real date on the first call rather than an optimistic one.
Write us a paragraph or call and talk it through. If it sounds like something we can help with, the next step is a short call and a written scope.
