Aptifirm • Apps, Training, and Product Lab

Aptifirm is the indie software studio behind Chartledge.com and GroupChatly.com. We share the same process we used to design, build, and ship our own products—so you could plan and publish your own mobile app on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.

Training was led by Lee Brooks, Aptifirm’s primary trainer and founder, who held a master’s degree in Data Analytics. Lee combined practical experience building Chartledge and GroupChatly with a data-driven approach to product design, helping you make informed decisions about features, user experience, and launch strategy.

Instead of abstract theory, we walked through the real steps a small studio took to launch: shaping an idea into a simple product, designing screens that felt modern, wiring everything together, and preparing a build that was ready for review. Along the way, you saw where modern tools (including AI-assisted workflows) could speed things up, without assuming a deep coding background.

  • Studio-Proven Roadmap: the same planning steps we used for Chartledge and GroupChatly
  • Design with Confidence: turned rough sketches into clean, launch-ready screens
  • From Web to Mobile: understood how a web project became an installable app
  • Store-Ready: app icons, screenshots, descriptions, and policy basics for both stores
  • Reusable System: checklists and templates you could apply to your next idea

Lee Brooks, M.S.I.T. Data Analytics, had spent years designing and shipping real products, including Chartledge (for markets and data) and GroupChatly (for real-time community chat).

In every session, Lee focused on clear language, practical examples, and simple building blocks so that beginners could follow along—and more advanced learners could still refine their process and ship faster.
