Rapid Prototyping & MVP Development
From idea to finished product in weeks, not months.
Companies have ideas. What's missing is someone who executes them, fast, pragmatically, without months of agency lead time, without bureaucracy, with real senior expertise.
Ideas get stuck in meetings too often. Development is too complex, the team is overloaded, and an external agency says: four months, large budget, long contracting process. The result: nothing happens.
With Agentic Coding, modern AI-assisted development tools like Claude Code and Cursor, digitario delivers working applications in a fraction of the time. Combined with 24 years of experience in digital product development, this means: no bloated team, no overhead, just a senior who understands how product and code fit together.
No army of developers. No agency with three project managers and a junior team. Just direct collaboration, daily transparency, and a result that can actually be used in production.

02 · Reference projects
What gets built three examples.
Matomo Analytics App
Native app for iOS, iPadOS, and Apple TV for visualising Matomo analytics data. Fully client-based, meeting the highest privacy requirements. Dashboard views in the office via Apple TV, key metrics on the go, including real-time tracking.
Classifieds marketplace for plants
A visually driven marketplace with a Supabase backend. With its own in-app chat at messenger level, users communicate directly 1:1, without external services.
TV streaming app
A client-based streaming app with its own download manager and several API connections. The built-in recommendation engine processes local data only, trains a local database on its own, and computes recommendations entirely on the device, with no cloud dependency.
03 · The difference
10× faster without compromising quality.
Agentic Coding is not hype. It's a fundamental shift in software development, and the reason why projects that used to take 4 months are now done in 4 weeks.
Tools like Claude Code and Cursor use AI agents that independently write, test, refactor and document code, under the guidance of an experienced developer. The result is not "vibe coding" with uncontrolled AI outputs, but structured, testable product software with real enterprise standards.
The decisive factor is the senior experience steering these tools. digitario knows which architectural decisions hold up long-term, which API integrations become problematic, and how far a prototype needs to go to be production-ready. This combination, modern tools, decades of experience, bridges the gap between idea and working product.
How a project unfolds
Requirements workshop (3–5 hrs.) after project confirmation: goal definition, scope, priorities. The quality of the outcome depends on this phase.
MENSCHDaily development iterations with AI-assisted tools under senior guidance. Code, tests and documentation are created in parallel.
MENSCHYou receive a daily update with screenshots, current status and an open feedback channel. Correct course before anything goes in the wrong direction.
MENSCHFinished application including technical documentation, deployment guide and optional handover session for your team.
MENSCH04 · Web & Mobile
The right format for every platform.
Whether internal tooling or customer-facing MVP, the platform follows the use case, not the other way around.
Web applications: Dashboards & reporting tools, SaaS MVPs & customer portals, intranet tools & HR interfaces, AI agent interfaces & LLM-powered workflows.
Mobile Apps
- iOS App (Native Swift/SwiftUI)
- Android App (Native Kotlin)
- iOS & Android, native or cross-platform depending on requirements
- Internal field apps & companion apps
- Customer onboarding and mobile-first experiences
- Offline-capable enterprise apps
- Example API integrations: Google Maps, Stripe, MS 365, Slack, Twilio, OpenAI
05 · Full transparency
You see every day what was built.
No black-box development. You always know where the project stands.
Every project includes daily updates: current development status, screenshots of new features, open questions and a direct feedback channel. No waiting for the monthly meeting, if something is heading in the wrong direction, we correct course immediately.
You receive a personal update link for your project. digitario documents daily progress, decisions and next steps, transparently, traceably and without technical jargon.
06 · Frequently asked questions
Your questions answered directly.
The quality of the result is directly tied to the quality of the requirements, that's a fundamental rule in software development. The clearer the goal, the closer the result comes to expectations. In some cases, a deliberately open start makes sense, for instance when exploring possibilities first. In most projects, however, precise requirements are truly critical. That's why a requirements workshop is included in all packages after project confirmation, typically 3 to 5 hours. Depending on scope and complexity, this can be extended, which we discuss in advance. What doesn't work: starting a project and leaving scope alignment to chance.
For companies, teams, or product owners who want to validate digital ideas quickly, pilot them internally, or test them with real users, without long lead times and without unnecessary complexity. Especially relevant for SMEs without an in-house tech team, corporate innovation teams, business units with a digital idea, or organisations that want to test an MVP before a larger investment.
Not every initiative suits this approach, and that's fine. If the scope is still entirely open and no concrete core process can be named, if heavily regulated enterprise processes such as complex legacy migrations or compliance certifications dominate the project, or if the primary goal is detailed requirements documentation rather than a testable result, then a different approach makes more sense. digitario says so openly in the first conversation, and names what would make more sense in your particular situation.
The Rapid Prototype is ideal for a clearly defined core process, fast validation, or a first internally usable solution, delivered in 5 business days. The Mature MVP goes a step further: with a technical foundation for real-world use, user login, backend, data storage, and standard integrations, ready for pilot customers or a controlled market launch.
Yes. In clearly defined cases, a Rapid Prototype can go well beyond a classic clickable prototype. When scope, requirements, and complexity allow, it can already become a lean, production-usable first solution. This is clarified in the kick-off workshop.
The stack follows the use case. Typical for web: React/Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind, Supabase or PostgreSQL. For mobile: React Native or Flutter. Backend: Node.js, Python or PHP depending on requirements. API integrations: Google Workspace, Stripe, Slack, Microsoft 365, Twilio and many more. The concrete stack is discussed in the first conversation.
Included: development, technical documentation and a handover session. Not included: hosting, ongoing cloud costs and third-party licenses (e.g. API keys). Handover is as a fully deployable solution, you decide where and how it is hosted. I'm happy to recommend suitable hosting providers on request.
Yes. Many projects start as a Rapid Prototype and then develop further through multiple iterations. Additional features can be commissioned as a Feature Package (smaller changes) or as a new project scope (larger extensions).
Hosting and ongoing operations are currently not within digitario's scope. Handover is as a fully documented, deployable solution, including deployment guide. I'm happy to recommend suitable hosting partners (Switzerland or DACH) on request.
Yes, with React Native, a shared codebase for web and mobile is possible. This affects project duration and price accordingly. We discuss details in the first conversation.
After the first conversation (free, 30 min.) and a clear scope document, development begins. You receive daily updates and have direct access at all times. Feedback is incorporated quickly. No ticket system, no waiting across multiple levels, direct communication with the developer.
