Frequently asked questions

Common questions about MishoraStudio — an independent studio building native iOS, macOS and Android apps from Ahmedabad, India, and available for freelance app development. Answers cover its own apps, how projects are scoped and priced, and how to get started.

Apps and products

What does MishoraStudio make?

MishoraStudio is an independent app studio that builds premium native applications for Apple and Android platforms. It publishes its own utility software, such as the macOS app ShiftOS, and takes on freelance and contract app development work for clients. It is run by Rajeev Ranjan from Ahmedabad, India.

What is ShiftOS?

ShiftOS is a macOS menu bar utility from MishoraStudio that combines window management, clipboard history, and system control in a single app. It is designed to replace several separate menu bar tools with one native application that stays out of your way until you need it.

How much does ShiftOS cost?

ShiftOS has a free tier (9 snap presets, 25-item clipboard history, basic Finder actions), paid Standard and Pro subscription tiers, and a Lifetime one-time purchase covering every Pro feature forever. Exact current pricing is on the product page at mishorastudio.com/apps/shiftos.

Are MishoraStudio apps native or cross-platform?

Every app is fully native. Apple platforms are built with Swift, SwiftUI, UIKit and AppKit, and Android is built with Kotlin and Jetpack Compose. MishoraStudio does not use cross-platform frameworks such as React Native or Flutter for its own products.

Which platforms does MishoraStudio support?

MishoraStudio develops for iOS, iPadOS, macOS and Android. Apple platforms are the primary focus, with macOS utilities and iOS applications making up most of the catalogue, and Android work built natively in Kotlin rather than ported from an Apple codebase.

Hiring and projects

Can I hire MishoraStudio to build my app?

Yes. MishoraStudio takes freelance and contract projects for native iOS, macOS and Android apps, working directly with the founder rather than through an agency layer. You can describe your project and request a quote at mishorastudio.com/hire.

How much does it cost to build an app with MishoraStudio?

There is no fixed rate card. Every project is scoped individually based on platform, feature complexity and timeline, then quoted as a fixed estimate before work begins. Machine-readable pricing details are published at mishorastudio.com/pricing.md, and quotes are free.

Do you build React Native or Flutter apps?

No. MishoraStudio builds natively on each platform, because native apps give better performance, smaller binaries, and immediate access to new OS features on release day. If a cross-platform framework is genuinely the right fit for your project, that will be said up front rather than taking the work.

Do you work with clients outside India?

Yes. MishoraStudio is based in Ahmedabad, India, and works remotely with clients internationally. Project communication is in English, and scheduling is arranged around your timezone. Enquiries go through mishorastudio.com/contact or the quote form on the hire page.

Do you handle App Store submission and review?

Yes. Freelance projects can be taken from initial idea through to a released build, including App Store and Play Store submission, review responses, and the metadata and screenshots each store requires. MishoraStudio ships its own apps through the same process.

Who is behind MishoraStudio?

MishoraStudio is run by Rajeev Ranjan, an independent iOS, macOS and Android developer based in Ahmedabad, India. Clients work with him directly on every project. Background and current work are documented at mishorastudio.com/about.
