Building three apps and counting

Mobile apps that bring people together in real life.

Hemi Enterprises is an independent app studio. We build native mobile experiences that turn online connections into real-world plans — whether that's a date, a tee time, or a plumber on your doorstep.

Our Portfolio

Three apps. One mission.

Each product is built end-to-end — backend, mobile, and infrastructure — with a focus on safety, real-world utility, and craft.

Dating

Orbit

A dating app for queer women, centered on group hangouts.

Skip the endless 1:1 swipe. Orbit's hangout feed lets you discover real-world events your matches are already attending — so the first meeting feels like a Saturday plan, not a job interview.

  • Group hangouts with location-based discovery
  • Group chat per hangout, gated to attendees
  • Phone verification, block/report, and content moderation built in
  • Push notifications via Expo, fanned out off the critical path

Golf

Fairway

Post a tee time. Find your foursome.

Fairway is a pairing app for golfers — post when and where you want to play, and connect with players in your handicap range. Map view, filter chips for walking and 9-hole rounds, and a clean three-step post wizard.

  • Tee-time feed with list and map toggle
  • Filter by handicap band, walking, weekend, 9 holes
  • Profile with play style, favorite courses, round history
  • Three palette themes: Fairway, Ink, Clay

Home Services

FixHive

On-demand home repair, billed end-to-end.

FixHive is a two-sided marketplace for homeowners and local pros. Submit a request, get competing bids, accept the one you like, and pay through Stripe Checkout when the job is done — all in the same app.

  • 13 service categories with Google Places address autocomplete
  • Vendor bidding with date, price, and time-of-day preference
  • Stripe Checkout + Connect for split payouts (5% platform fee)
  • Automatic Google Places fallback if no vendor claims a job

How we build

Small studio. Full stack. Real ships.

We don't ship demos. Every app on this page has a backend, a database, payment or push or both, and the unsexy plumbing that makes it production-ready on day one.

End-to-end ownership

Mobile, backend, database, infrastructure, app-store listings — one team, one repo per app, no handoffs.

Safety isn't a TODO

Phone verification, content moderation, block/report, and rate limiting are baked in — not deferred to v2.

Real-world utility

Our apps exist to make something happen offline — a hangout, a round, a fixed sink. Screen time is not the goal.
