2025 Highlights: a year of travel, AI exploration, and community impact

2025 reminded us why we invest in deep expertise, real partnerships and curiosity-driven innovation. Here’s a look back at what shaped our year!

2025 reminded us why we invest in deep expertise, real partnerships and curiosity-driven innovation. Here’s a look back at what shaped our year!

This year has been a big one for Rebel App Studio, Codemate’s Flutter team. Across projects, platforms and countries, we’ve kept doing what we do best: Building products that matter, with talented people who care.

AI isn’t a trend, it’s the new standard

We don’t just use AI – we work with it in a very practical way. Across design, development, marketing and sales, AI has become a natural part of our daily toolkit. Sometimes it helps us move faster, sometimes it helps us think smarter, but above all, it supports how we build solutions for our clients. 

Over the past year, we’ve also been cooking up something new: Rebel AI Studio (not to be confused with Rebel APP Studio…) It reflects how we approach generative AI in practice – thoughtfully, with a strong focus on real use cases rather than hype. Rebel AI Studio is already part of our client work, and we’ll tell you all more about it soon!

Flutter is flying across platforms

We’ve stayed committed to Flutter since the early days, and this year we doubled down. More events, more community support, and more time spent helping clients make the most of it. From phones to TVs, Flutter is expanding fast, and we’re right there with it. We are LG’s leading partner in developing the webOS Flutter SDK Beta, and we’ve seen first-hand how Flutter is expanding to the TV world.

Long-term clients, long-term value

The majority of our business still comes from clients we’ve been working with for years – and we wouldn’t have it any other way. Whether it’s Moi, Restel or Schaeffler, these partnerships prove that real impact takes time, trust and continuity. We’re grateful to keep building together and to see our clients go forward.

People, places and dev talks

Our team travelled a lot this year – from local meetups to international conferences, and they were out there connecting, learning and sharing. The Fluttercon events in New York and Berlin were obviously highlights: our own Joonas Kerttula gave talks on building the Google Maps Navigation SDK for Flutter. Thanks to our ongoing collaboration with Google, we have the chance to contribute directly to the platform with real-world impact. Community is more than attendance – it’s participation, and we are proud to keep showing up for Flutter devs.

What we’re proudest of

Honestly? The whole package. Our crew has grown stronger, our average experience per developer keeps going up, and we’ve stayed curious through it all. Running a company like this takes more than good code. It takes bold clients, smart partners, and people who genuinely care. That’s the formula, that comes from Codemate.

See you in 2026 – and probably at the airport

We’re continuing on this path: more events, more community, more chances to collaborate. Thanks for being a part of this ride. Let’s keep building together!
