# Quokka Apps

> Quokka Apps is an Australian software studio based in Wollongong, NSW (Quokkapps Pty Ltd, ABN 93 664 669 265). It designs and builds mobile apps, web applications, websites and AI automation for businesses across the Illawarra and Sydney, and it builds and operates products of its own. It is a product studio, not an outsourcing company.

Key facts:

- Based in Wollongong, NSW, Australia; serves the Illawarra, Sydney, and clients Australia-wide (remote friendly).
- Builds and runs its own products: QuokkaGuide (https://quokkaguide.com/), a self-guided audio tour platform for regions, councils and tour creators, with GPS-triggered narration on iOS and Android.
- Services: mobile app development (iOS and Android, usually from one shared codebase), web app development (portals, dashboards, internal tools), website design and development (quick rebuilds for local businesses from $2,000), and AI automation / AI agents (workflow audits first, human review where it matters).
- Startup Venture Co-Build (https://quokkapps.com.au/co-build/): an application-based model where Quokka Apps joins a startup as its technical co-founder. If Quokka Apps believes in the idea, it builds the app or web-app MVP at 50% of the scoped cost in exchange for an agreed equity stake; after the MVP the founder either keeps Quokka Apps as technical partner or pays the remaining 50% and parts ways. Terms are agreed in writing before the build. Limited intake.
- Client work includes two safety-critical health apps (a personal safety app and a carer companion app) designed and built from the ground up for an Australian personal-alarm and telehealth provider, working directly with the client and, on the client's behalf, its high-profile technology partners, and a complete website rebuild for a career-services business delivered in three days.
- Runs its own AI automation systems daily: a social content engine (researches trends, generates branded video and images, queues posts for Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube; a human approves every post) and an AI lead-generation engine (discovers prospects, researches them, drafts personalised outbound email, tracks engagement, advances follow-ups by lead state). Both architectures are available to clients.
- QuokkaGuide is a creator marketplace: creators write, voice and sell GPS-triggered audio tours, with an AI writing assistant that drafts the script then fact-checks its own work against sources and AI voice or voice-clone narration. Creators earn up to 70% revenue share.
- Clients own their code, accounts and infrastructure; no lock-in.
- Contact: hello@quokkapps.com.au. Discovery calls are 30 minutes and free.
- Director: Tam Phan, who previously built software for startups and corporates including Disney and Virgin Australia, across health, travel, chat and social apps, some serving tens of millions of users.
