What YARG does

YARG Limited is a UK-based mobile app development and software engineering consultancy founded in 1997 in Bradford on Avon, England, and operating as a privately held private limited company. The firm specializes in iOS, Android, and cross-platform mobile development using .NET MAUI (formerly Xamarin), with full-stack capabilities spanning UI, backend services, APIs, databases, cloud deployment, and third-party integrations. It also provides modernization services for legacy mobile applications and ongoing post-launch support. Named clients include AkzoNobel Decorative Paints, Adventis Group, and Kreston International, indicating focus on enterprise engagements across multiple industries (paints and coatings, professional services, accounting and advisory).

The company operates a project-based professional services model with a direct, sales-led go-to-market motion. Prospective clients send initial notes about their projects via email, and YARG responds with direct, quote-based proposals. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, and there is no self-serve, freemium, or marketplace channel. Marketing is limited to the company website, LinkedIn, and GitHub profiles. The firm emphasizes senior delivery without agency overhead, direct communication, and source code ownership from day one, positioning itself as a lower-cost alternative to larger digital agencies.

YARG has incorporated AI-assisted engineering and Microsoft Azure cloud expertise into its delivery methodology, and has developed a proprietary consumer product called LoggedHere, a secure digital legacy vault for passwords, documents, and essential life information. The company is founder-owned with no disclosed external funding, no parent entity, and no institutional investors, and operates exclusively in the United Kingdom.
