Mobile apps
Native-quality iOS and Android from a single codebase. Real-time features, push, offline, biometrics, and store delivery.
Software studio
App & platform
development.
DataTrust designs, builds, and ships consumer apps and the platforms behind them — from first sketch to the App Store, Play Store, and the web.
What we do
End-to-end product development
One team across design, mobile, web, and infrastructure — so an idea becomes a shipped product without the handoffs.
Web platforms
Fast, server-rendered web apps and marketing sites that share one backend with the mobile products.
Backends & APIs
Scalable services and clean /api layers that power web and mobile from one source of truth.
Storage
Databases, object storage, and distributed systems — schema design, query optimization, and reliable backups that stay fast as data grows.
Systems & infrastructure
Linux server administration, networking, storage, and hardware — the systems layer set up and kept running in production.
Security
Encryption, secure authentication, penetration testing, and hardened infrastructure — security built in, not bolted on.
Work
Flagship product
DataTrust builds its own consumer products end to end — not just for clients.
HIPE

HIPE brings news, communities, clips, and discussion into one place across iOS, Android, and the web — a personalized feed, real-time messaging, creator tools, and a shared backend powering every surface.

About
A small studio that ships.
DataTrust is an independent software studio. We build and operate our own consumer products — and take on select work for partners who want a team that can own the whole thing: design, mobile, web, and the infrastructure underneath.
No layers, no handoffs. The people who design it are the people who build it and keep it running in production.
