"We are ecstatic with the work that Halcyon has delivered. The design quality
is extremely high and Halcyon integrates very well with our internal team. They
were sticking with the original estimates, and were always efficient. On a scale
of one to five, with five being the best, we have to give them a five overall for
their professionalism, as in communication, flexibility and work ethics. We would
warmly recommend them."
Patrick Cushing, Product Manager - SigFig
CFR 1907 Cluj
UX Design / Mobile App development
The Official CFR 1907 Cluj app provides fans with all the relevant
information about the football team that has won 3 Romanian League titles and is participating
in the most prestigious European football competitions like the UEFA Europa League and the UEFA
Champions League!
Enjoy the fastest way to get the Live score of CFR’s latest match, current standing, news and
other information about the team or club history. It also gives you the chance to vote for the
man of the match during the game!
"They are creative, open-minded and often move faster and more efficient than we do.
The ‘final’ product is what we wanted and conceived; we are totally satisfied with the current
form and how it evolved during the creation process. With all due respect to future Romanian
football clubs that will also have an app, I believe that our product set a pretty high standard
that will be difficult to reach. I would absolutely recommend Halcyon Mobile’s services to others."
Tudor Pop, Marketing & Media Manager - CFR 1907 Cluj
Heart Murmur
UX Design / Mobile App development
Learn to recognize heart murmurs in a blink with Heart Murmur Pro. With 23 different heart sounds included and an abundance of clinically relevant information documenting each of them, you'll master heart sounds in no time at all!
"It has been great working with Szabi and his team at Halcyon Mobile. They've developed
great iOS and Android apps for us at Hipposoft, LLC and the results are always what we expected
and more."
Quoc Bui, Co-founder at Hipposoft and LOLerApps
“Heart sounds are always a struggle for medical students and doctors alike. The key to learning
them properly is simple repetition. This app gives you the opportunity for this. It even includes a fantastic
quiz mode to test yourself. The information provided is also quite relevant and is certainly useful for
students to have handy."
Dr. Don Nguyen, M.D., University of California, San Diego, School of Medicine

Halcyon Mobile partners with agencies, brands and startups to help them deliver outstanding mobile app experiences.
We’re a group of mobile ‘savvies’ in their twenties doing their thing from Transylvania – land of mystery and intrigue, and home to an obscure 15th century Count whose name escapes us just now...
Catering to a global client base, we eat, sleep and breathe mobile technology. We design and develop app-experiences that wow users and bolster businesses’ bottom lines.
Our recipe for success:
take one cup of solid technical craftsmen that Eastern Europe is known for, add five spoons of fine design talent schooled by the Western world, rock it with a shot of passion & fun and Voilá: magic happens.
Rather than tout ourselves as a “jack of all trades” and risk spreading ourselves too thin, our motto is “Do one thing, and do it right.” Thus, we focus exclusively on mobile app design and development since 2005.
Mobile UI/UX Design
Our Design team takes pride in developing great mobile experiences. Whenever one of our Designers stops taking pride in his work, we give him a hug, buy him a Fanta and send him to a day spa. All kidding aside, we're really only satisfied when mobile users experience the utility of our apps through a beautiful experience. The voice of the people is what matters; it fuels our creativity.
Mobile App Development
Someone really smart once said “design is just a dream without careful execution”. We agree with this statement and, thus, rely on our technical skills to deliver a solid product. Our development and design teams work hand-in-hand to implement bold ideas in the most precise and reliable way. And did we mention on-budget, too?
iOS (iPhone & iPad), Android (Phones & Tablets), Windows Phone, Windows 8, Mobile Web (soon), Atari 5200 (in development)
We’d love to hear from you.
Let's work together
Levi
CEO / Co-Founder
One half of the founding team, Levi is Halcyon's spiritual leader.
You can often find him performing the Lotus position, deeply engaged
in internal monologues about improving company culture and dev process.
Unless, of course, he's out fishing.
likes: variables, fishing, vision diagrams
dislikes: administrative stuff, cooked vegetables
Szabi
CEO / Co-founder
Halcyon’s other founder, Szabi, is more pragmatic. He’s responsible
for running current projects, but doesn’t mind picking up the phone to
discuss potential new apps. When he’s not "stuck in traffic" (his code
phrase for “naps”), you'll find him in a meeting room with Levi
discussing Halcyon's next big thing.
likes: dirty Martinis, cars, fitness, Tabasco sauce, cooking
dislikes: contemporary politics, nutmeg
Boti
Tech Lead
iOS guru and Apple evangelist, Boti has been with Halcyon for so long
we just had to award him with Tech Lead status. He’s like our very own Mr
Wolf: whether there's a coding dilemma or a design-related issue, he takes
care of the problem quickly and leaves no trace.
likes: mint chocolate, minimalism, deep house, oregano, IKEA
dislikes: messy desks, politicians, non-US keyboard layouts
Sanci
Android Developer
When the mobile world was in its infancy, Sanci was there. With a
background that includes J2ME and BlackBerry development, Sanci is one
of our most talented Devs. His current platform of choice is Android, but
he's already looking forward to the next big thing.
likes: ordered chaos, optimism, comedies, being on time
dislikes: drinking beer in the cold, tea boxes
Laci
Android / WP7 Developer
Laci is Halcyon Mobile’s Swiss Army Knife. Besides being proficient in almost
every mobile platform known to man, he's notorious for developing apps in record
time. In an heroic attempt to popularize his mother tongue, he sometimes muddles
his code with humorous Hungarian phrases.
likes: speed, large chairs, beer, the Danube Delta
dislikes: handwriting
Zoli
iOS / Mac Developer
Need a client-server solution? You’d better call Zoli! With a superhuman knowledge
base ranging from back-end programming to desktop and mobile development, Zoli is the
man. Though he would deny it if asked directly, you can trick him into admitting he
makes raw HTML web-page layouts for the less fortunate ones.
likes: beards, DIY, mountains, wine, playing guitar
dislikes: the ocean, loud coolers
Zsolt
iOS Developer
Zsolt eats coding problems for breakfast, sometimes without milk. He’s known for
consistency and accuracy in all his dev work, be it on iPad, iPhone, or Mac. When all
else fails, he dons his MacGyver hat and lends his expertise to other teams in need
of a boost.
likes: well-oiled car engines, foreign words, volley, Jagermeister
dislikes: iCloud
Szidi
iOS Developer
A Weyland-Yutani android wouldn’t be able to outclass Szidi in producing pristine
coding. Her meticulousness doesn’t permit sloppy code to creep in anywhere, and her
contributions always results in stable, efficient releases. Feminine stereotype or not,
she does brighten up the place.
likes: fancy shoes, the ocean
dislikes: public speaking
Klevi
Android Developer
A master of both platforms, Klevi’s at the center of each and every iOS vs. Android
debate in the office. Multi-platform apps are a favorite of his, along with big, decadent
downtown parties.
likes: partying, table soccer, bears
dislikes: Mondays, no smoking signs, green food
Tamas
iOS Developer
Our very own folk dancer extraordinaire, Tamas weaves through difficult coding challenges
as if he’s two-stepping on the dance floor. Independent by nature but deeply engaged in our
work ethic, he has all the right moves.
likes: folk dance, bread, t-shirts
dislikes: alcohol-free beer
Atti
iOS Developer
Atti is Halcyon’s resident “iPad ninja”. Quiet and effective, he doesn’t do much talking;
he just delivers. Like the ancient saying goes: “You don’t need to be a big mouth to write
good code.”
likes: sweets, Peugeot, cooking
dislikes: booze, spicy food, pets
Jozsi
UX Designer
Jozsi, our in-house hipster and cutting-edge designer, spends most of his time fiddling with
innovative user interface and experience designs. You can often catch him painstakingly
fine-tuning a website, t-shirt or logo in order to elicit the highest degree of beauty,
elegance and purity.
likes: panda bears, Irish pubs, Apple stuff, indie music
dislikes: badminton, commercial music
Csabi
iOS Developer
After the daily dose of coffee you can’t really stop him. Unless you’re talking Android
or iOS you might take your conversation elsewhere. He can make some tongue-in-cheek remarks,
so you’d better have yourself prepared with some off-the-cuff comments.
likes: cars, parties, ordered chaos, snowy roads
dislikes: poor/bad UI design, cabbage soup, pessimism, mud
Enci
iOS Developer
With a fresh approach to software development she brings her charming smile and positive
attitude to the coding table while maintaining a high degree of professionalism at the same
time.
likes: Table tennis, cooking, coffee
dislikes: flowers, shameless people, flavored beer
Hanna
iOS Developer
Silent but deadly. That is how we would describe her coding style. With contributions to
an impressive number of projects in short period of time she’s already cemented her place
on the team.
likes: sweets, fashion, flowers, koala bear, cocktails
dislikes: beer, rock music, reptiles
Judit
Marketing
Our own marketing “Eve”. Always looking around for big opportunities, while keeping a child-like
enthusiasm for everything that is little. She would not bite from that apple to keep the company
in Paradise…but her best-in-class practices and strategies will make sure of that anyhow, so yumm!
likes: mint chocolate (and every other kind), movie festivals, Fruit Ninja
dislikes: bread crumbs, cables
Gyongyi
Sales Support
Mother of a 3-year-old, she can be quite convincing. Being a master in finding an answer to
endless “why” questions, she will definitely make you an offer that you can’t refuse...
likes: 70’s design, baby scent, Polaroid, French whispering (this is not a
code name for anything...or maybe it is?)
dislikes: fake tan, architectural relics from the communist era, exaggerated
use of perfume
Eniko
Office Manager
With more skills than a Swiss army knife she’s here to keep the place up and running.
When she’s not scouting for new recruits or stacking up beer for the next Happy Friday
she’s probably fiddling with the team calendar.
likes: people, joy, DIY, life
dislikes: low spaces, monotony, milk
Isti
UI Designer
Coming from a background in illustrations and web design he’s got the perfect skill
set to complement our creative team. If you see perfectly aligned buttons and brilliant
color palettes in our apps it’s because of him.
likes: mountains, music, owls, optimism
dislikes: chaos, silence, hot beer
Akos
Quality Assurance
Whether it’s an Android, an iOS or even a Windows8 app, Akos will test them until they
cry for mercy. His meticulousness is what keeps our apps in the delight-o-sphere.
likes: cats’n’bugs (the latter are some software glitches), Pink Floyd,
western movies, wilderness, Lego, astronomy
dislikes: and again bugs (it’s a love-n-hate relationship, what can one do)
Misi
Android Developer
A recent addition to the team, he’s already proven his worth. Bent on learning both
Android and iOS in a record time you’ll find him at the office at uncomfortably late
hours. A well-mannered young chap with a bit of an edge.
likes: football, spicy food, comedies, speed, Dr.Pepper
dislikes: losing, arrogant people, cigarette smoke
Simplify lives and create joy through technology.
Forget about high gas prices and reality TV: one good thing about the 21st century is that work doesn't have to feel like work, especially when what you do revolves around that timeless human gift known as creativity.
And so, instead of burdening our free-thinkers with a long list of rules and regulations, we’ve all agreed to abide by a simple set of democratic values and principles. Liberated from dogma and doctrine, Halcyon can move forward with minimal friction. Every team member is free to live, breathe, create – and daydream about wizards from time to time.
