Product studio · Islamabad, Pakistan

We build and ship our own products. And yours.

Fulgor Labs is a small, independent studio. We design, engineer and launch mobile and web products end to end — then live with them in the app stores, exactly like the ones we build for clients.

Independently funded · No outsourcing · You work directly with the people writing the code.

Our products

Three apps we own, run and support.

The clearest proof of what a studio can do is what it ships under its own name. Each of these was designed, built, submitted and maintained in-house.

Client work

What we take on.

We work with founders and small teams who need a product built properly the first time — from an empty repository to a live listing in the stores.

Mobile apps

Cross-platform iOS and Android products in React Native and Expo — the exact stack our own apps run on. Native feel, offline-capable, and shipped through review.

iOS · Android

Web apps & SaaS

Dashboards, portals and multi-tenant platforms in Next.js and Node — with the billing, auth and admin tooling a subscription business actually needs on day one.

Full-stack

Product & UI design

User flows, design systems and interfaces built in Figma and handed over as working code — not a picture of an app, but the app itself.

Figma · Design

AI features

LLM-powered generation, transcription, document parsing and semantic search — integrated carefully, with the cost, latency and failure modes handled up front.

AI · LLM

Cloud & delivery

CI/CD, containerised deploys, monitoring and sensible scaling. Plus the unglamorous part most teams skip: store submission, review responses and release management.

AWS · CI/CD

Store submission & compliance

Privacy labels, data-safety forms, policy blockers and rejection appeals. We've been through App Store and Play review with our own apps and know where builds get stuck.

How we work

A short loop, and no surprises.

Small team, direct contact, weekly visible progress. You always know what's being built and what it costs.

01

Scope

A call to understand the goal, the users and the constraints — then a written scope with a fixed price and timeline before anyone writes code.

02

Design

Flows and screens first, so the decisions are cheap to change. You approve the design before it becomes engineering.

03

Build

Weekly builds you can actually install and use. Feedback goes straight into the next week, not into a backlog you never see.

04

Launch & support

We handle store submission, review responses and the first release. Then we stay on for a support window so launch bugs are our problem, not yours.

The studio

Small on purpose.

Fulgor Labs is an independent studio based in Islamabad, founded and led by Zakir Khan. We stay deliberately small: the people you talk to are the people designing and building your product.

We fund ourselves by shipping our own apps. That changes how we work — we've felt every rejected build, every privacy label, every one-star review, and we bring that scar tissue to client projects instead of learning it on your budget.

We ship what we sell

Every technique we offer is running in an app we own and support in production.

Fixed scope, fixed price

You approve a written scope and a number before work starts. Changes are quoted, never assumed.

You own everything

Code, accounts, designs and infrastructure are yours from day one and handed over in full.

Honest over impressive

If something won't work, is a bad idea, or isn't worth the money, we say so early.
