# Apps for Creators | Build, Launch & Grow Revenue Together Canonical: https://voyage.studio/creator-apps You've built the audience. Let's scale the revenue. We partner with creators to launch and grow your mobile app. Limited partnerships each quarter ## Turn your audience into a business you own - Your app, your brand, your audience — no algorithm can touch it - Subscriptions, memberships, and premium content that generate recurring revenue - We share the cost upfront and only win when you win [Apply to Partner With Us →](#apply) ## This is for creators who are ready for more If any of this sounds familiar, we should talk ### You've outgrown brand deals You're tired of selling other people's products to your own audience. The money's inconsistent, the briefs are restrictive, and you know you could earn more building something of your own. ### You're building on borrowed land Your audience lives on Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube — platforms you don't control. One algorithm change and your reach gets cut in half. You want something that's actually yours. ### You're leaving money on the table Your audience already asks for your recipes, your workouts, your advice. They'd pay for it — you just don't have the platform to deliver it yet. ## A world-class mobile app, built for your audience We don't build templates. Every app is custom-designed for your brand and audience. - Branded iOS & Android apps - Content delivery & media streaming - Subscription & paywall systems - Community features & messaging - Push notifications & engagement tools - Analytics dashboard & audience insights - App Store submission & optimisation ## From food blog to #1 on the App Store We partnered with Two Raw Sisters to transform their recipe content into a premium mobile app. Within the first week of launch, the app hit #1 in the Apple App Store Food & Drink category. Today, it continues to grow with a loyal subscriber base — and the sisters own every piece of it. [Read the Full Story](/work/two-raw-sisters) ## From idea to App Store in 12–16 weeks Our proven three-phase process has launched apps that hit #1 on the App Store. Here's exactly how it works. ### Discovery & Validation We stress-test your idea, define your target users, and map the features that will drive revenue. If it's not viable, we'll tell you honestly — we only build apps we believe in. ### Design & Build Our team designs and develops your app from scratch. You're involved every step with weekly demos, direct Slack access, and full transparency. ### Launch & Grow We handle App Store submission, optimisation, and launch strategy. Then we stick around — ongoing development, marketing support, and growth strategy for the long haul. ## We put our money where our mouth is Most agencies charge $100K–$200K upfront and disappear after launch. We do the opposite. We heavily discount our build cost in exchange for a share of the revenue your app generates. If your app doesn't make money, neither do we. That's how confident we are in what we build. - Custom app design and development - App Store submission and optimisation - 12–24 month ongoing partnership - Continuous feature development and improvements - Growth strategy and marketing support - Full code ownership — it's your app, always We're selective about who we partner with. We take on a limited number of creators each quarter and go all-in on every single one. ## Is a Voyage partnership right for you? ## Apply to partner with Voyage We take on a limited number of creator partnerships each quarter. Fill out the form below and we'll schedule a free discovery call if we're a good fit. No commitment, no pressure. ## Everything you need to know ### How is this different from hiring an app development agency? Agencies build and leave. We partner and stay. We share the financial risk, provide ongoing development, and are invested in your app's long-term success — not just delivery. ### How much does it cost? Significantly less than traditional development. We offer a reduced upfront build cost in exchange for a revenue share. The exact structure depends on the project scope, which we'll discuss in your discovery call. ### How does the revenue share work? We agree on a percentage of your app's net revenue for a fixed partnership period (typically 12–24 months). After the partnership period ends, you keep 100% of all revenue. You always own the app and code. ### How long does it take to build an app? Most apps launch within 12–16 weeks from kickoff. Complex projects may take longer, but we'll give you a clear timeline during the discovery phase. ### Do I need a huge audience to qualify? No. We look for engaged audiences, not just big ones. A creator with 10K highly engaged followers can be a better fit than one with 500K passive ones. We also work with creators who are actively building their audience. ### What if my app idea doesn't work out? That's exactly what the Discovery phase is for. We'll validate your concept, test assumptions, and be honest if we don't think it's viable. We'd rather tell you early than build something that won't succeed. ### Who owns the app and the code? You do. 100%. The code, the brand, the user data — it's all yours from day one and stays yours after the partnership ends. ### What kind of apps can you build? Content delivery, recipe apps, fitness programs, course platforms, community apps, membership platforms, e-commerce, and more. If it involves delivering value to an audience via mobile, we can build it. ### Do you work with creators outside New Zealand? Absolutely. We work with creators globally. Most of our collaboration happens over video calls, Slack, and shared project tools. ### What happens after the partnership period ends? You keep the app, the code, the users, and 100% of future revenue. We can continue working together on a standard retainer if you'd like ongoing development, or you can take it fully in-house. ### What ongoing support do you provide after launch? During the partnership period: bug fixes, feature updates, performance monitoring, App Store optimisation, and growth strategy. We're not a build-and-run shop — we're in it with you. ### How do I know if I'm a good fit? Apply below and we'll schedule a free 30-minute discovery call. We'll ask about your audience, your content, and your goals. If it's a fit, we'll put together a proposal. If not, we'll tell you honestly and point you in the right direction. ## Your audience is waiting Every day without your own platform is another day the algorithm decides who sees your content. Let's change that. [Apply Now →](#apply)
