Things we could build for you

Apps for members and clients

An app your members or clients keep on their phone: the programme they are working through, the check-ins they send back, the sessions they book and the messages that reach them. Everything listed below is already built and running, most of it inside two coaching apps that are live on the App Store and Google Play.

What a member app usually covers

Most of the apps we build sit around something the business already delivers by hand. Lessons go out as links, check-ins arrive in direct messages, and each new client's plan is copied from the last one in a spreadsheet. The app gives all of that one home, with the business's own name on it.

What goes in depends on how the business runs. These are the pieces that come up most often:

  • Separate screens for the owner, the staff and the members
  • Lessons that unlock in the order the programme intends
  • Check-in forms built from the business's own questions
  • Progress photos and video kept over time and compared side by side
  • Booking and prepaid session balances inside the app
  • Notifications sent to everyone, or to one group of members
  • Video shrunk on the phone before it uploads, so it goes up on mobile data
  • Templates, so the same plan is not rebuilt for each new client

Already built and running: 13 pieces

  • Member video academy with timed unlocks

    A private members video library where each lesson unlocks a set number of days after the member starts, and the playable video is only released server-side once it is actually unlocked for that person.

    Running in ProFlow Academy

    You can sell a structured course or coaching program that releases content on schedule, keeping members engaged for months instead of bingeing and leaving.

  • Custom check-in form builder

    A builder where a coach assembles check-in forms from question types (text, number, scale, yes or no, choice, photo, video) and clients fill them in, uploading progress photos and videos to a private store.

    Running in ProFlow Academy

    You design exactly the check-in your service needs once, and clients report back in a consistent format that lands straight in your inbox.

  • Progress photo and video tracking

    A progress screen where clients capture or upload photos and videos over time, with native camera capture, on-device video compression, and a side-by-side comparison of any two dates.

    Running in ProFlow Academy

    Clients literally see their results stacking up, which keeps them motivated, proves your service works, and gives you before-and-after proof for marketing.

  • A spoken note attached to the exact thing it is about

    A short voice note recorded and attached to a specific item, so the explanation sits on the thing rather than in a separate message.

    Running in ProFlow Physiques

    You say it once, in your own voice, and it is there every time somebody looks at that item.

  • Messaging one group without messaging everybody

    Broadcasts sent to a defined segment of customers rather than the whole list, delivered as a push notification to the phone.

    Running in ProFlow Physiques

    People read your messages, because the only ones they get are the ones meant for them.

  • Video that actually uploads from a phone in a car park

    Video is captured through the phone's own camera and compressed on the device before upload, so a large clip goes up over a normal mobile connection.

    Running in ProFlow Physiques

    People actually send the video, because it uploads in seconds instead of failing on mobile data.

  • Captions on your videos, without paying per minute

    Uploaded videos carry captions, so they can be watched with the sound off and by people who need them.

    Running in ProFlow Physiques

    Your videos work on a train, in an office and for anyone who needs captions, which is most of your audience.

  • Templates so the same plan is not rebuilt every time

    Reusable templates for the things a business gives every customer, assembled once and applied rather than rebuilt each time.

    Running in ProFlow Physiques

    You build it once properly, then apply and adjust, so every customer gets your best version rather than your Tuesday version.

  • Everything you know, in one place customers can search

    A searchable library of the business's own videos and material, organised by category, available to customers inside the product.

    Running in ProFlow Academy

    Customers answer their own questions from your material, and your expertise stops being something only you can deliver live.

  • A message that reaches the phone, not the inbox

    Push notifications to the customer's phone for the things that matter, rather than another email into a full inbox.

    Running in ProFlow Academy

    The thing that matters reaches them on the device they actually look at.

  • Real client photographs, and no invented numbers

    The results page is built from real client before-and-after photographs, with no names, no weights and no timeframes attached, because the business cannot stand behind figures it did not measure.

    Running in ProFlow Physiques Marketing Site

    The proof is the part a stranger actually believes, and nothing on the page can be challenged as a claim the business cannot back up.

  • Every photograph is a real client, and the page says so

    The site states plainly that every photograph on it is a real client or the coach himself, with no stock photography and no paid models, and the galleries are built to hold phone photographs taken backstage and in car parks rather than cropping them into a tidy grid.

    In an industry full of borrowed images, being visibly the real thing is the differentiator, and the layout stops real photographs looking like a mistake.

How an app build runs

  1. How the service runs today

    We start with how members are looked after now, week by week, not with a list of screens. The scope is written down, including what is deliberately left out, and the build is priced against it.

  2. Using it before it is finished

    Every change goes to a preview you can open on your own phone, so you try the real thing while it is being built and decide things with it in your hand.

  3. Through the App Store and Google Play

    We prepare both store listings, handle Apple's and Google's review, and publish it under your brand. Account deletion, data export and the privacy details both stores require are part of the build, not a surprise at the end.

  4. Looked after once it is live

    After launch we fix what real use turns up, keep it working as phones and stores change, and add to it as the business asks. Once the build is paid for, the app is yours.

The same way every project runs, set out in full on how a project goes.

Where you can see it running

Questions we get asked

Do you build apps for both iPhone and Android?
Yes. Both coaching apps on this page are live on the App Store and on Google Play, and members get the same features whichever phone they carry.
Will the app carry our own name and brand?
Yes. It is published under your brand with its own store listings, and screens such as booking are styled to match, so members never leave for a page that looks like somebody else's.
What happens to video uploads on a weak signal?
Video is recorded through the phone's own camera and made smaller on the phone before it uploads, so a long clip goes up over an ordinary mobile connection. Uploaded videos can carry captions, so they can be watched with the sound off.
Can we send a message to some members and not all of them?
Yes. A message can go to a defined group, such as one programme or one coach's clients, and it arrives as a notification on the phone rather than another email.
Should it be an app or a website?
If members come back every week to check in, watch the next lesson or book, an app on their phone is where that habit lives. If people mostly visit once to find out about you, a website does that job better, and we build those too. ProFlow has both: an app for members and a website that sells the programme.
Who owns the app once it is built?
You do, once the build is paid for. The build fee buys the software. The monthly fee covers hosting, updates and looking after it.

The other groups

This is not the limit. Most of what we build has never appeared on a list like this. If a job is repetitive, rule-based or living in a spreadsheet, it can almost certainly be built. Tell us the problem and we will say what we would build.
