We build apps worth opening. For founders, indie devs, and AI builders who move fast and need the strategy, craft, and distribution to back it up.
Mana Cores exists to give mobile builders that edge.
Mana Cores is built around three distinct areas of focus. Each one concentrated. Each one a full practice.
You used Lovable, Cursor, Claude, Replit, or Base44 to build something real. Now you need strategy, distribution, and monetisation. We work with the new generation of founders who ship fast but need expert next steps.
→ Full guide for AI buildersFull-lifecycle consulting for mobile founders and studios. Product strategy, UX, ASO, paid UA, retention, and analytics. Consulting and execution, end to end.
→ See all 14 servicesWe don't just advise. We're shipping our own mobile apps too. First Mana Cores apps launch in 2026, on top of the consulting work we already do daily.
→ Launching 2026Full lifecycle, from idea to live users. Pick your dish, or order the full tasting menu.
Mostly consulting, always scoped. Indie rates when you're bootstrapping. Project pricing when you're funded. Embedded leadership when you're scaling.
You're shipping on your own dime. You need a sharp second opinion, not a retainer. Pay-as-you-go.
Pre-Series A, you have funding and a small team. You need direction and scoped delivery, not another meeting.
Post-Series A. You need a senior product brain in the room for retention, UA and monetisation, without the full-time hire.
The first call is on us. 45 minutes, no charge and no commitment. You walk away with two or three concrete moves to run this week, whether we end up working together or not.

Mana Cores is a studio in Dublin, Ireland, building apps worth opening. We consult, helping founders, devs, and studios build better mobile apps. And we build our own, applying what we teach.
Narrow by design: mobile apps and games, from idea to live users. Remote, worldwide, in English & Turkish.
Four commitments we hold to. And what your first 45 minutes actually look like.
We start with what proves value, not what's easiest to bill.
Every recommendation comes with a metric. No vibes, no filler.
If a feature is wrong, we say it on day one, even when it costs us scope.
We sell weeks, not quarters. If a sprint doesn't move the needle, we say so before the next.
What you shipped, with what tool, where you're stuck. No pitch from us.
Specific to your app. Each with reasoning. Each with a way to measure if it worked.
Whether keeping going makes sense and what it would cost. No pressure either way.
You leave with two or three concrete moves you can run this week. Even if we never talk again.
No 80-page decks. No vague deliverables. Focused, practical engagements with clear outcomes at every step.
45-min video, free. You leave with a 1-page written recap (sent within 24h) and 2 to 3 concrete moves to run this week. No charge, no commitment, no follow-up unless you ask.
Written scope within 48h. Fixed price. Named deliverables. The specific metric we'd move. Timeline with a start date. You decide in your own time.
Async-first. Two live syncs per week. Written updates every Friday. Working docs in your tools (Notion, Linear, whatever). Shipped artifacts every week, not just at the end.
30 days of async answers included after every project. The playbook is yours to keep. Optional retainer if you want us nearby longer. Either way, no lock-in.
Eight common questions, eight short answers. If yours isn't here, the call is free.
