MintApps. One workspace. Every phase.

The 7-Phase App Playbook

Phase 01

Niche Discovery

Surface underserved markets using demand signals, review mining, and competition scoring.

Phase 02

Validation

Competitive teardowns, user conversations, and smoke tests before writing code.

Phase 03

Build MVP

One core feature, subscription monetization from day one. Ship in weeks, not months.

Phase 04

Pre-Launch ASO

Keyword strategy, store listing assets, localization. Rank before you launch.

Phase 05

Launch

TestFlight soft launch, App Store submission, review seeding. Go live with confidence.

Phase 06

Growth

Monthly ASO cycles, community marketing, data-driven iteration to scale downloads.

Phase 07

Scale

Expand to 2-4 focused apps with cross-promotion. Build a portfolio, not just an app.

The indie devs making $10k-$100k/month aren't smarter. They have a system. MintApps is that system.
