All systems nominal
Gayle Media Services is an independent software studio. We design and ship native iOS and Android apps — and the backends, dashboards and infrastructure that keep them running long after launch.
Live — not a mockup
Everything on this page is real and computed right now. The photographs below were taken on the surface of Mars by NASA's Perseverance rover and relayed to Earth. The orbital geometry is solved in your browser from Keplerian elements. The station telemetry refreshes every few seconds. We built it because describing what we do is less convincing than showing it.

Work
We publish under our own name, and we do not hand a project over and walk away. Every app and site below was designed, built and submitted by this studio — and is still operated by it.
Finance · iPhone & iPad
The private member portal for Cresium Capital Partners. Real-time capital balances, full ledger history, portfolio holdings, meeting access and secure push notifications — backed by a PHP/MySQL API and Stripe.
Android · In progress
Our Play Console account is active again and the Android side of the catalogue is in build. Same apps, same backends, native Kotlin front end.
Platforms we built and still run. The status beside each one is a real probe from our server, refreshed every ten minutes.
Veteran-owned low voltage contractor. Structured cabling, security systems, aerial construction and technology integration.
Internal management platform for a construction firm — projects, crews, documents and reporting, fully bilingual in English and Spanish.
Commercial aluminium recycling across the Montgomery River Region. Public site plus the operations backend behind it.
Independent publishing imprint. Book catalogue, custom storybook orders, event booking and session-based checkout.
Custom event décor and personalised keepsakes, with an enquiry and ordering flow for bespoke pieces.
League management for The Gamers Basketball Association — crews, franchises, seasons and standings for an independent NBA 2K league.
Our founder's personal portfolio and project index — the place experiments go before they earn a name of their own.

Capabilities
Swift and SwiftUI on iOS, Kotlin and Compose on Android. Store submission, review, phased release and the unglamorous maintenance afterwards.
Authentication, payments, push, scheduled jobs and reporting. Written to be read by whoever inherits it, and instrumented so failures are loud.
The page you are reading is the pitch. Motion with a purpose, type that holds up at every size, and performance treated as a design constraint.
Git-based deploys, staged environments, backups, monitoring and a rollback that actually works. Launch day is the start of the job, not the end.
Studio
Gayle Media Services was the first company we registered — before the others, before the portfolio, before any of it worked. It is the name on the App Store listing and the name on the Play Console, and it has quietly been the parent of everything built since.
We stay deliberately small. That means the person who scopes your project is the person who writes it, submits it and answers the phone when something breaks at 11pm. There is no account layer between you and the code.
