Dev went quiet · build stalled

Your developer disappeared mid-build.
We finish it.

You have a half-built iOS + Android app and no one driving it. NorthBore adopts orphaned app codebases — we audit what exists, stabilize the build, and ship it to the App Store and Google Play. No restart from scratch.

The situation

An abandoned build is a clock, not a dead end

An early-stage founder near Hannibal had an iOS + Android app under active development. Then the developer went quiet mid-build. The work — and the money — are still in there. The risk is letting it rot.

// what "abandoned build" actually costs

Orphaned, undocumented code. No one knows how it's wired, what's done, or what's half-finished.

⌧

Access gaps. Repo, App Store and Play Store accounts and signing keys may be locked with the old dev.

Sunk cost & lost momentum. Real money and weeks are already in. Starting over throws all of it away.

⏻

The launch just stalled. Every day it sits, the codebase gets harder for anyone new to pick up.

How it works

We adopt the build and carry it to the store

No restart, no lecture. We meet the codebase where it is, prove what's salvageable, and run it to a public launch on a date you can hold us to.

STEP 01

Free 48-hour rescue audit

You paste your repo link, TestFlight build or store listing. In 48 hours you get a codebase health report, an architecture map, a real "% complete," the security and store-readiness gaps, and a fixed-scope finish-line plan with a launch date.

$0 · no commitment

STEP 02

We take ownership & stabilize

We adopt the existing repo, get CI green, make startup crash-free, and stand up the App Store and Google Play accounts and signing. The build stops being fragile and starts being shippable.

STEP 03

We ship the rest of the roadmap

We finish the remaining features to your fixed scope and ship to a public launch on both stores — on the date set in the audit. You keep ownership of everything the whole way.

What the free audit returns

A real picture of where the build stands

Before you commit to anything, you get the honest triage — what's salvageable, what's missing, and exactly what it takes to launch. If we can't get it to the store, we tell you that too.
