Cornerstore
A subscription service that turns a small business's existing website, Square booking page, or Shopify store into a polished native iOS and Android app with bookings, loyalty, and push — using modern premium UI components under the hood.
independent salons, fitness studios, cafes, and clinics that want an app but can't afford a $30K custom build
- One-click sync from website, Square Appointments, Shopify, or Mindbody into a branded app
- Premium tab bar, navigation, and motion presets bundled in (no design work required)
- Push notification campaigns for rebooking, class reminders, and flash sales
- All-in monthly fee that bundles Apple/Google hosting, updates, and customer support
iOS 26 and Android now ship premium UI primitives (liquid glass, edge blur, spring motion) that small businesses can't access without a custom build — the GitHub traction on glass-tab components shows the kit is finally drag-and-droppable.
