Our Story: from global acquisition to Olearis

Our journey didn't start in a garage; it started at the forefront of the mobile revolution. Between 2008 and 2012, our core team was the driving force behind QuickOffice for iOS — the first-ever mobile office suite for iPhone and iPad.

We weren't just part of the project, we were the only iOS team responsible for the product's success. The results spoke for themselves: QuickOffice skyrocketed to the top of the App Store worldwide, earning prestigious awards and becoming the go-to productivity tool for millions.

The Google Chapter

This success didn't go unnoticed. In 2012, Google acquired QuickOffice. For a year following the acquisition, our Kharkiv-based team continued to work closely with Google, integrating the product into their global infrastructure and providing expert support.

We saw how a world-class tech giant operates, and we absorbed that engineering-first culture.

The Birth of Olearis

When the support contract with Google concluded, a new chapter began. Our founder, Oleg, began working with ambitious clients who required complex, high-scale software solutions. As these projects grew in scope and technical demands, it became clear that they required a team of exceptional caliber. 

When the year-long support contract with Google concluded following the acquisition, a new opportunity emerged. Our founder, Oleg, had already begun collaborating with ambitious clients on complex, high-scale projects that required a team of exceptional caliber.

In June 2013, knowing that his colleagues were ready for their next big challenge, Oleg reunited the core of the original QuickOffice iOS development team. Having spent years as the exclusive team responsible for the iOS product's global success and its subsequent integration into Google’s infrastructure, these specialists were already a battle-tested unit.

Today Olearis works with founders and established brands across mobile and web — bringing together product strategy, UX/UI, engineering, and QA under one roof so you can move faster without sacrificing quality.

The principles we live by

Mutual respect

We believe in complete openness, both within our team and with our clients. we avoid any "behind-the-scenes" games and ensure you always have a clear, real-time view of your project’s progress.

Reputation above all

For us, a project isn't just a contract; it's a reflection of who we are. we cherish our reputation and go the extra mile to ensure every product we release is something we are proud of.

Honesty and transparency

We believe in complete openness, both within our team and with our clients. we avoid any "behind-the-scenes" games and ensure you always have a clear, real-time view of your project’s progress.

Honest estimation and commitment

We don’t use "low-ball" numbers just to lure clients in. instead, we perform a deep analysis of your idea to provide realistic timelines and budgets that we can actually stand behind. for us, an estimate is a promise, not a sales tactic.

Focus on quality and results

While meeting deadlines is a top priority, we never sacrifice quality for speed. we strive to exceed expectations, delivering solutions that are not just "finished," but built to last.
