The Challenge

A health-tech startup wanted to launch a premium iOS wellness app combining workout tracking, nutrition logging, sleep analysis, and AI-powered coaching into a single seamless experience. The market was crowded, so differentiation had to come from UX quality and depth of Apple ecosystem integration — HealthKit, Apple Watch, Siri Shortcuts, and Live Activities.

They had a UI concept in Figma but no iOS team, no backend, and a 5-month window before their seed funding runway required a live product.

Our Approach

  • Built entirely in SwiftUI with custom animations achieving native-grade 60fps on all supported devices
  • Deep HealthKit integration — bidirectional sync of workouts, heart rate, sleep stages, and nutrition data
  • Trained a CoreML model on-device for personalized workout recommendations with no server round-trip
  • Apple Watch companion app with real-time workout ring, haptic cues, and Live Activities for active sessions
  • Managed full App Store submission, review correspondence, and phased release rollout

We came with a Figma file and zero iOS experience. MindGrid Labs turned it into the highest-rated app in our category. The Apple Watch integration alone has become our biggest retention driver.
