Company mission

Judo's mission is to empower brands to efficiently build and distribute relevant, rich, visual experiences across digital platforms, without compromise, at scale.

Our take

Providing a sleek and accessible user interface is an essential element when developing an iOS or Android app, but doing so can be a time-consuming process. Developers must have a high level of understanding of programming in order to achieve it efficiently, and publishing through existing no-code solutions requires submission through app stores which takes a significant amount of time.

Judo provides server-driven UI for iOS and Android app development, allowing users to design interfaces visually and publish them instantly without lengthy submission times. The no-code platform allows developers to add API-Derived content using real data, preview user experiences before deployment, and ultimately build any native and cross-platform experience through a wide range of in-built UI tools.

Whilst visually-oriented no-code UI toolkits are nothing new, Judo stands out with its awareness of the on-demand nature of app development, ensuring that its customers can preview and deploy server-driven UI instantly. The software is available for single-workspace users for free with larger teams requiring paid subscriptions, and enterprise payment plans are organized on a case-by-case basis.

Company values

  • Hustle - maybe it’s because we started in Canada, maybe it’s because we bootstrapped for years, we hustle like we’re the underdog and we celebrate our wins
