Made for the hand.

Most of your customers will meet you on a phone. We design for that first: thumbs, small screens and patchy signal, then scale up to the desktop.

Mobile apps

How a project runs.

Five stages, the same every time. You always know what is happening, what comes next, and what it costs.

  1. Talk

    A free call to understand what you need, and whether we are the right team for it.

  2. Scope

    A written proposal with a fixed scope, timeline and price. You know the cost before anything starts.

  3. Design

    You see and approve how it looks and works before we write production code.

  4. Build

    Weekly releases you can open and click through, not status reports.

  5. Launch

    We ship it, watch it closely in the first weeks, and stay on for support.

We started by winning.

Team BlackReef began as a hackathon team at Middlesex University Mauritius. We came second at Hack the Campus and won first place at Finnovate Hackathon 2026, then decided to keep building, this time for clients. The founders are Kshitij, Dhruv, Oleg, Caellum and Josh.

What you can count on.

  • The price is agreed upfront.

    The quote you approve is the price you pay. It only changes if you change what we are building, and you agree that in writing first.

  • You own everything.

    The code, designs, domains and accounts are yours from day one. No lock-in, no hostage hosting.

  • One team, start to finish.

    The people on your first call are the people who design and build your product. Nothing is passed down a chain.

  • Mauritius-based, working anywhere.

    We work with clients on the island and abroad, and keep our hours overlapping with yours.

Questions, answered.

How much does a project cost?

It depends on what you need built. After a short call we send a written proposal with a fixed price, so you know the full cost before deciding. The call and the proposal are free.

How long does it take?

A company website usually takes three to six weeks. Apps and custom software usually take two to four months. Your proposal includes a timeline with dates for each stage.

Who owns the code and designs?

You do. Everything we make for you is transferred to you, and the accounts it runs on are registered in your name.

Can you take over an existing website or app?

Yes. We start with a short review of the code and hosting, tell you what we found, and then quote for the fixes or improvements you choose.

Can you work on a server that holds patient or client records?

Yes. We agree the scope in writing, use only the access we need, and plan changes around your working hours so nothing stops without warning. We are a small team, not a 24/7 security centre or a certified auditor, so if you need formal certification or round-the-clock cover we will tell you and help you find it.

What happens after launch?

We watch the product closely in the first weeks and fix anything that comes up. After that, you can move to a monthly care plan or call us when you need us.

Do you work with clients outside Mauritius?

Yes. We work remotely with clients abroad, using video calls, shared boards and weekly releases, and keep part of our day aligned with your time zone.

Have something in mind?

Tell us what you are trying to build. We reply within one business day with next steps, or an honest answer if we are not the right fit.
