Vanero ApS · Kolding, Denmark

Good things, built a little at a time.

We are Tina and Daniel, a small family company. We make playful apps for curious kids, help teams build software with AI, and coach people towards everyday habits that last.

Apps for iPhone & iPad AI for app development Habit & lifestyle coaching

Apps

Games that let children figure things out

Our first apps are two games for young children, coming to iPhone and iPad. Nothing that punishes a wrong move, and little or nothing to read. Just room to play, try again and feel clever.

Ages 4–6 · Coming to the App Store

Vroom Service

A bouncy, side-on monster-truck game. There are two big pedals, nothing to read and no way to lose. Drive through twelve island worlds, from the farm and the desert to under the sea and the moon, pull off backflips and loops, honk at the cows, and bring your truck to the garage to get it serviced.

  • Real suspension physics, tuned for small thumbs
  • Trucks flip themselves back over; no lives, no game-over
  • Paint, upgrade and kit out your truck with gadgets

Mekaniko

A physics puzzle game in the spirit of The Incredible Machine. Place planks, springs, gears, fans and magnets so the ball finds its way to the goal, and learn how gravity, friction and machines work along the way.

  • 16 worlds, from breakfast and socks to space and the ocean
  • Built around the Danish curriculum for science & technology
  • In Danish and English

AI consulting

Building apps with AI, for real

Both of our games are built hand in hand with AI coding agents: physics engines, hundreds of levels, automated tests, art, sound and a preview build for every change. We have learnt a lot about what works, what doesn't, and how to keep quality high when most of the code is written by a machine.

Daniel brings that experience, and nearly two decades of building software, to your team.

  • Workshops & talks

    A hands-on introduction to agentic coding for developers, product people and managers.

  • Workflow set-up

    Repositories, tests, previews and guard-rails that let AI agents do useful work safely.

  • Sparring & reviews

    An experienced second opinion on your architecture, your tooling and your AI strategy.

  • From idea to App Store

    Help taking a small app or game from prototype to a polished release.

Habit & lifestyle coaching

Small steps that stick

Big resolutions rarely last. Small, well-chosen habits do. Tina is a trained habit coach (vanecoach) and helps people change their everyday life one manageable step at a time: sleep, food, exercise, screen time, stress, or simply making room for what matters.

Years of teaching adults have given her a calm, practical way of helping people learn something new, without guilt and without a one-size-fits-all plan.

  • One-to-one coaching

    A short course of conversations, in person or online, built around your goals and your week.

  • Habits that fit your life

    We start small, make it easy, and adjust as we go, so new routines survive a busy Tuesday.

  • Talks & groups

    Inspiration on habits and well-being for workplaces, schools and associations.
