Imagine your business
in every pocket.
Consider it done.
We build mobile apps that your customers will love.
Tech is a servant, not a master.
We’ve all seen ”simple” solutions that require an engineer’s degree to use them. Tech should never be an end in itself but a means to help people change their lives for the better. That’s why it’s so critical to succeed in translating customer insight into code. When you let us do the translating, we make sure that your mobile app is for everyone (not just engineers).
Let’s get sh*t done.
Whatever people say, size matters – and in our case small is better. As a specialized mobile app boutique we outrun in flexibility and agility those giant companies with more programmers than there are fish in the sea. With no bureaucracy, we reiterate fast and even change course when it’s in your best interest.
Boost your business to new heights.
Trust me, you don’t want your mobile app to be a mere gimmick. Even the tiniest detail should be determined by your business goals. Whether you want to explore new territories for your business or look for ways to make your in-house workflow more efficient, we help you get there.
The perfect fit for your app.
In today’s world everything changes rapidly, especially tech. It can be overwhelming to decide which technology to rely on. The good news is, you don’t have to. That’s our job. We constantly scan new technologies and select the most suitable one for your mobile project. So just relax.

Once upon a time…
The story of PolarSpin
In 2014 my friend Petri and I finally got fed up with doing things the old way. I had been running a single man unit offering clients everything from A to Z in IT for many years. Petri had worked in programming for several giant companies where meetings and bureaucracy stole precious hours away from what he loved to do.
It was about time to make a decade long dream come true: a boutique for niche IT projects where our passion for cutting edge technology and game aesthetics could be put to use. But what was the right niche?
As it turned out, smart phones were spreading quickly. The mobile market was mature enough to serve clients who needed affordable solutions for either expanding their businesses or optimizing their in-house workflow. That direction felt like a good fit.
So we tried and tested the business concept until we found our missing piece: Vasant and his expertise in native applications. PolarSpin was ready to take off.
After years of working in the mobile realm, our clients say they appreciate our ability to listen to and translate their needs quickly into apps that are intuitive and fun to use.
We are proud to have earned our clients’ trust and strive towards keeping it in the future.

Hi there.
Meet… Jouni
Jouni Kontinen has been an IT entrepreneur from the mid 2000s. When sh*t hits the fan, he’s the one who keeps calm and spots the problem.
”I still remember one of our first clients. They were on the brink of bankruptcy. They had tried to develop an app in India but it fell flat. We quickly ditched the old version and built a new one from scratch. Later Petri flew to India and trained their staff. The company got back on their feet and stayed with us for many years.”
Meet… Petri
Petri Tolonen has worked in several of the major companies in the industry for 20 years. When he is not working on client projects, he builds games and 3D worlds.
”I was 9 years old when I wrote my first lines of code. I used my neighbour’s Commodore 64 because my parents couldn’t afford to buy one. Later when I worked for Nokia, my code was used in the mobile phones of tens of millions of people. That made me appreciate of the journey I’ve made.”
Meet… Vasant
Born in India, Vasant Patel learned his doer mentality from his parents. He came to Finland to work for Nokia a decade ago. He is known especially for his skills for building native apps.
”When I was in the university, phones did not have lost mode. So I created an app that would allow its user to lock the phone remotely using SMS and also return its location periodically in case phone was lost or stolen. I remember how magical it felt to get it working.”
We’d love to hear from you.
