Secure solution 

A secure cloud platform based in Switzerland for the continual provision of apps and user insights. We take data storage and security very seriously. Updraft is the ideal tool for anyone who wants to host their apps with a data-privacy-oriented company. 

Simple provision of applications 

Updraft is a super-easy app provision tool and is perfect for beta-tests or corporate apps that shouldn’t be made publicly available in an app store. 

Giving feedback
direct in the app 

Updraft makes it very easy for your beta-testers to give feedback or report a bug. As soon as the user makes a screenshot, a feedback mask appears within the app that enables the beta-tester to draw directly on to the screenshot and add relevant information before the feedback is sent to Updraft. You can manage all feedback and bugs received from your beta-testers directly in the dashboard of the Updraft webpage. Use the open source Updraft SDK for this purpose.

Thanks to Updraft we were able to distribute beta versions of our app to several hundred beta testers via email with a Magic download link. We collected valuable feedback from these beta testers before the go-live and were able to gain them as users of the app after the launch.

In theory, he can take apart airplane turbines and put them together again – during the flight. But that got boring after a while and now he’s our man in charge of technical quality assurance. We’re saved!

Concept & Design
Design professional in all aspects. Has a beard now but is still up for every sort of goofing around when it comes to design, games, 3D, table tennis, swimming, horse riding or reading. One of the first with us and still one of the nicest.

Head of Concept & Design
Her eye for space and form turns every project into a delectable piece of eye candy. She’s a master of that old art that has all but disappeared – drawing by hand with an antiquated piece of equipment, the so-called pencil. This tool is moved over the paper and lines appear... It’s crazy!

He likes to dive not only into waters of all kinds, but also into the depths of our projects. In addition to being a dive master, he is also a master of good humor, persuasion and coffee & cake breaks. With his broad experience it's all right for him to laugh - whoever implements projects with him is always entertained.
