How it works
From first call to App Store. Here's the whole thing.
- 01
Discovery call
15 minutes. We look at your channel, your audience, and what an app could do for your business. If there's a fit, we move fast.
- 02
Design & build
Native iOS and Android from a single codebase. You see progress weekly and talk directly to the person writing the code.
- 03
Launch & grow
I handle store submissions, hosting, and ongoing maintenance. You promote it to your audience. Revenue is split 10–30% depending on scope, and I only earn when it earns.
One $5/mo subscriber is worth about as much as 20,000 YouTube views a year in ad revenue. A channel with 1,000 true fans at $5 generates $60,000 a year. Matching that with ads alone takes 20+ million views. Every year.
Your app won't break when it matters.
This is where the cheap options fall apart. Your app isn't a no-code template or a quick-build prototype you outgrow in a year. It's a real platform, engineered to scale, by someone who has spent over a decade building the systems behind companies you have heard of.
Built to handle millions
A real microservices architecture, not a single app that buckles the day your video goes viral. It scales the way the big platforms do, because it is built the same way.
Proven at serious scale
Over a decade building production systems for Asurion, Vivid Seats, and NinjaTrader. Platforms running millions of users, live ticketing, and real-money trading. Your app runs on that same experience.
Durable, fast, AI-ready
Top-shelf hosting that stays online and quick under load, with modern AI built in where it makes your app better. Premium resources, not the cheapest tier.
You're not buying a website or renting space on someone else's platform. You're getting your own company, a product your audience pays for, instead of an ad slot for somebody else's.
Cheap is expensive.
The cheap options (no-code tools, template platforms) are generic, brittle, and rented. You rebuild in a year. The expensive option (a full dev shop) runs $100k+ and six months before anything ships. I built the model that skips both: fully custom, fully yours, nothing up front.
| No-code & platforms | Targun Tech | Custom dev shop | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Upfront cost | Monthly fees | $0 | $50k–250k+ |
| Time to launch | Days, then stuck | 8–12 weeks | 4–9 months |
| Real native iOS & Android | ✗ Webview | ✓ Real native | ✓ |
| Custom-designed for your brand | ~ Templates | ✓ Fully custom | ✓ Fully custom |
| Scales to millions | ✗ Breaks under load | ✓ Production-grade | ✓ |
| You own your audience & data | ✗ Platform owns | ✓ Always yours | ✓ |
| Hosting & maintenance included | ~ Varies | ✓ Included | ✗ Extra retainer |
| We only win when you do | ✗ Flat fees | ✓ Revenue share | ✗ Bills regardless |
This model isn't for everyone. If you need to launch tomorrow or want to own and resell the codebase, a different option fits better, and I'm happy to point you in the right direction.
Who you'll be working with.
Targun Tech is a Nashville-based product studio founded by Phil Targun — a software engineer with over a decade of experience shipping production systems for enterprise consulting clients and Fortune 500 product teams.
Phil personally writes the code, ships the releases, and answers your texts. Senior contractors are brought in when a project requires it — never juniors, never offshore. You'll always be talking to someone who can answer a technical question.
Every app above is live in the App Store and Google Play today, built and maintained by Targun Tech. References shared on a call.
Common questions
How long does it take to launch?
8–12 weeks from kickoff to live in both stores for a typical scope. Larger or more custom builds can take longer — we'll give you a real estimate after the discovery call.
What's the revenue split?
Between 10% and 30%, depending on scope, complexity, and how much we absorb on hosting and maintenance. Locked in upfront in writing.
What if the app underperforms?
I absorb the build. That's the deal: I only succeed when the app does. It also means I'm selective about who I partner with. I pick channels where I believe an app will actually generate revenue.
Can we end the partnership?
Yes, with 60 days notice. You keep your audience, your data, and your store listings. I hand over operational records and help with the transition. No lock-in.
Do you only build mobile apps?
Mobile is the sweet spot, but I partner with channels on whatever extends the brand: subscription platforms, member communities, content libraries, niche tools. If you have an audience and an idea, let's talk.
Who owns what?
You own your audience, your data, your brand, and the App Store / Play Store listings (published under your developer account). Targun Tech owns and operates the underlying codebase as part of an ongoing partnership. That's how the no-upfront-cost model works.
Let's see if there's a fit.
Tell me about your channel and I'll follow up within a business day. If it makes sense, we'll set up a 15-minute call to scope the project.
