WHO WE ARE

Hi there—we’re Atimi. You may not know us by name, but if you have a smartphone in your pocket or a computer on your desk, chances are you’re familiar with our work. We partner with innovative, consumer-focused companies (think Fortune 500 and similar) who want to achieve better connections and market differentiation with premium mobile apps. We were founded in 2000 and quickly came to be known as app developers who handle complex projects and deliver high quality work. Our deep expertise reaches back to the dawn of mobile apps when we built 3 of the first 100 apps in Apple’s iStore. Since then, we’ve continued to work on flagship projects that get noticed: over 60% of our apps have been featured by Apple in TV ads, iTunes advertising, in-store or in print ads. And we’re just getting started.
