Why Atimi?

Atimi has specialized in Mac development since 2001 - we are Mac experts. Since Apple has put many of Mac OS X's core desktop technologies and services on the iPhone the similarities between OS X on the desktop and OS X on the iPhone are significant. We estimate that a large portion of the code used to develop an iPhone application could be reused to put that same application on the desktop, saving you time and money. Because of our extensive OS X background, we can leverage our expertise to help you make sure your application gets the most out of the iPhone's OS X technologies with the least amount of time and effort invested.
