Brisbane & Gold Coast25 years in market

Software built to stand up to scrutiny.

Apps and AI agents built in Brisbane since 2001 — designed to meet App Store requirements, security reviews, and the Australian regulations that apply to your business. Built to last. Many of our earliest clients are still running software we built for them.

What we do

From app development to intelligent systems

We build it, take it through review, and keep it running afterwards — the same Brisbane team on all of it, rather than a handoff at each stage. The last part is where most of the work turns out to be.

The Founders' Desk

Nathan has been shipping software since 2001; Marisol runs delivery and growth. We are engineers, designers and operators in the same room, and we have sat on both sides of a raise — so the work includes the business model, not only the build.

What clients say

  • Envisage Apps were selected to deliver Compare the Market entry to the mobile app marketplace for iOS and Android. The team technical expertise, underpinned by their natural curiosity and creativity, ensured our vision was brought to life through Envisage Apps disciplined as well as engaging build and delivery process. A highly recommended business partner for any organisation looking to embark on or improve on their mobile app strategy.

  • I was running my business with a mix of fitness apps and tracking tools. Data handling was messy and time consuming. Envisage Apps helped refine my vision for a single app into an affordable and actionable MVP. As NuStrength grows and we learn what features in the app bring the most value to our users in the fitness industry, Envisage has now built the public consumer native version of the app for us. The new app looks incredible!
    Craig McDonaldDirector & Founder | NuStrength
  • Nathan and Marisol of Envisage Apps were terrific to work with. We presented them with a rather unique and specialised concept in commodity trading, and they quickly grasped its intricacies and developed a product with which we were very happy. The after-sales services that they also provide is exceptional. Despite our significant knowledge gap in this domain, Nathan, Marisol and the entire Envisage team guided us comprehensively through the entire process. I unreservedly recommend their service.
    Paul CochraneDirector | Fox Commodities
  • We turned to Envisage Apps when we became dissatisfied with our existing developer. Envisage brought a new UX, rewrote the app and brought us a new business model. Envisage is not just a development company but also provided innovation and knowledge from both technology and startup business know-how.

How we build

We’ve built startups ourselves, not only for clients, so the first conversation is usually about your business model rather than your stack. Investor expectations are a different set of questions from user ones, and both get asked here.

We build AI in from the start rather than bolting it on later. Not because it is fashionable — because retrofitting it means rewriting the data model, and that is the expensive kind of rewrite.

What that looks like on a project

  1. 01

    Opportunity Mapping

    Sometimes software doesn't pay here. We say so before you spend anything.

  2. 02

    Rapid Validation

    A prototype in front of real users before the expensive half starts.

  3. 03

    Build & Integrate

    Native where native matters. Shipped from your developer account, never ours.

  4. 04

    Optimise & Scale

    We watch what people actually do with it, then cut the features nobody opened.

Common questions

What kind of software does Envisage Apps build?
Mobile and web platforms, and AI agents that act inside the systems you already run. Then the part most firms leave out: getting a product through App Store review, security audit and Australian regulation, and keeping it shipping once it is out. We also take on MVPs for founders still validating an idea.
Do you build AI agents, or just add AI features to existing apps?
We build AI agents and automation — internal tools, customer-facing assistants, workflow automation — as standalone products, and we also embed AI into the UX and decision-making of the apps we build.
We only have an idea, not a spec. Can you still help?
Yes — that's MVP and startup acceleration work: validate fast, launch faster, and avoid the cost of building the wrong thing first. We've built startups ourselves, not only for clients, so opportunity mapping and rapid validation come before any code.
Where is Envisage Apps based, and who do you work with?
Envisage Apps is a Brisbane and Gold Coast team with 25+ years shipping products, working with founders and established businesses across Australia and globally. Many of our first clients are still using software we built for them years ago, which is the track record we point to rather than a location on a map.
Do you build games?
No, Envisage Apps does not develop games. We build business, startup and AI products — mobile and web platforms, AI-powered applications, AI agents and automation, and startup MVPs — so if a games project lands in our inbox, we'll say so up front rather than take the fee.
