A studio for software that matters.
We make one thing at a time, and try to make it the best version of itself.
GrowTide
In development
A family chore and rewards app that kids actually want to use. Chores become a game — coins, ranks, avatars, badges, and real rewards kids earn for real chores. Built for parents tired of nagging. For kids aged 8 to 17.

Made, not just shipped.
Manus Labs is an independent software studio in Utah, founded in April 2026 by Vince Penha. The name is Latin for hand — a reminder that the best software is still made by people, for people.
We don't chase scale. We don't chase trends. We build one product at a time and try to make it the best version of itself.
