Commission an app as a gift for someone you love

The Build Studio at CEOism builds apps as gifts: you commission one for someone you love, we build it, and they receive a real, live product with their name on it. This is not a novelty, it is our home ground: the studio builds complete gift companies for strangers, 11 of them so far, each an interactive app plus a bespoke page, given free and unasked. Commissioning one means bringing us the person: what they do, what they dream about, what they deserve to have exist. We invent the concept, build it live, and help you stage the reveal. Name the number that feels fair, and we tell you honestly whether it buys a single beautiful tool or a small company with their name on the door.

The 60-second version

We build app companies as gifts for strangers. Commission one for someone you love.

We build it for you: we build gift companies for strangers every month, so commission one for someone you love.

Tell us what it is worth to you. ceoism.com/studio.

What you receive

  • A live, working app built around the person you are gifting
  • A bespoke reveal page that tells them why this exists
  • The concept invented for them, not adapted from a template
  • Their name on it, with ownership transferred to them
  • Help staging the reveal, from link to moment

How it works

  1. 1

    Tell us what you need

    One email. Describe the thing in your own words, plain language is perfect, and say the number that feels fair to you.

  2. 2

    We build, you watch it become real

    We reply honestly with what your number gets, then we build. You see the live thing take shape, not a slide about it.

  3. 3

    You name the price

    The price you set is the price. When it ships, it is live on a real domain and it is yours: code, keys, everything.

Honest questions

What kind of person is this for?
Anyone with a thing they love: the partner who bakes, the father who fixes radios, the friend who knows every bird. If you can describe what lights them up, we can build around it.
Can you keep it a secret until the reveal?
Yes, secrecy is standard. We work only with you, publish nothing until the moment, and can time the link to go live on the birthday, the anniversary, or the minute you hit send.
What does a gift app cost?
You name it, honestly. A meaningful single-purpose gift can be modest; a full company with their name on it costs more. Tell us the number and we tell you what it builds, before anything starts.

Name your price on this.

Tell us what you need and the number that feels fair. We answer honestly with what that number gets.
