Hire Ballmac

Product UIs and native Mac apps, built by the people who make them.

We are the small studio behind Binzide, Notchware, Sideme and the Ballmac UI component library. The same care that goes into our own products goes into yours, from the first sketch to launch day.

  • Fixed price in writing

    You know the cost before we begin.

    No lock-in, no licence strings.

    A live link, not a progress report.

01What we build

Three things we do very well.

Fixed scope, a stated timeline and a price you can plan around. If your project sits between them, tell us. Most do.

Your product UI, built on Ballmac UI

A dashboard, app screens or a product site that looks like a team of ten made it, shipped in weeks.

For Founders and small teams building a web product who need it to look and feel finished.

  • Design and build in React, Tailwind and shadcn
  • Accessible, responsive and dark mode from day one
  • Our component library as the base, so it ships fast
  • Clean code your team can keep extending

A private component registry for your team

Your own design system, installable with one command, and an MCP server so AI coding agents build with your components instead of inventing new ones.

For Teams that already use shadcn or Tailwind and want every screen, human or AI made, to match the brand.

  • A shadcn-compatible registry in your brand
  • An MCP server for Claude Code, Cursor and similar agents
  • Docs and live previews for each component
  • The same setup we run for Ballmac UI

A native Mac app for your product

A fast, native macOS companion or menu bar app that feels at home on the desktop, not a web page in a window.

For Companies whose users live on the Mac and want a real app next to the website or service.

  • Swift and SwiftUI, macOS 14 and later
  • Menu bar, window or notch apps
  • Settings, onboarding and Pro licensing if you sell it
  • Packaged for release, with a download page

Starting at

$9,000

Prices are where each offer starts, in US dollars. After we read your brief we send a fixed price in writing. Something else entirely? Tell us about it.

02Built by us

We ship what we sell.

No mock-ups and no borrowed logos. These are products we designed, built, launched and support ourselves, so you can try every one of them today.

03How it works

From first message to handover, in four steps.

Plain, written and predictable. You always know what happens next and what it costs.

  1. 01

    You send a brief

    Tell us what you are building and when you need it. A person reads it and replies within 1 working day.

  2. 02

    We send a fixed quote

    Scope, price and timeline in writing, before any work starts. No hourly surprises.

  3. 03

    We build, you watch

    A live link from week one and a short demo every week, so you steer while it is cheap to change.

  4. 04

    You own the result

    The code, design files and assets are yours. 30 days of bug fixes are included after launch.

04How we work

Six promises about the way we work.

Not a process diagram. These are the habits that stop projects going wrong, and you can hold us to every one.

A live link from week one
Every change goes to a preview you can open, click and send to your team. No screenshots of screenshots.
Your repository from day one
The code lives in your own Git repository, not ours, so there is nothing to hand over at the end and nothing to hold back.
Decisions in writing
Scope, changes and decisions are written down. We use calls when they help and skip them when they do not.
Changes are agreed first
Anything outside the agreed scope is quoted before we do it, so the price you were given is the price you pay.
A plain handover
Setup notes, how the code is organised and a short walkthrough video, so your team can carry on without us.
Honest about fit
If we are not the right team for the job, we say so and, where we can, point you to someone who is.

05Questions

Before you write to us.

06Start a project

Tell us what you are building.

A few sentences is enough. A person reads every message and replies within 1 working day.

  • What the product is and who it is for
  • When you would like to launch
  • Links to anything you like, or to what exists today
