What Foresight Mobile does

Foresight Mobile is a UK-based mobile app development agency founded in 2017 and headquartered in Manchester, with additional offices in London and Birmingham. The firm specializes in cross-platform mobile development, primarily using Flutter (also React Native, native iOS/Swift, and native Android/Kotlin) to deliver iOS, Android, web, and desktop applications from a single codebase for clients ranging from funded startups to FTSE 100 enterprises. Its service portfolio is structured into discovery (The App Gameplan, £3,500 fixed price), build (project fees ranging from £10k for MVPs to £200k+ for complex enterprise apps), and retain (App Care, from £675/month), with adjacent offerings in App Rescue (failed-project recovery), Fractional CTO services, Mobile SDK Development, AI Mobile App Development, and Vibe Code to Production (hardening AI/no-code prototypes). Technologically, the firm emphasizes Impeller-powered native performance, on-device AI via Gemini Nano and LiteRT, EU AI Act compliance, and a notably deep open-source footprint via flutter_markdown_plus, a community-maintained Flutter package with 140,000+ weekly downloads that Google's own genui/flutter_ai_toolkit now depends on.
