App Operations, Fully Managed.
Giving freelancers access to your App Store Connect is a major security risk. Managing them is a time sink. Sagedoer provides a secure, agency-managed solution for SaaS founders and indie hackers.
Role-Based Security Protocols
Our VAs operate strictly under your role-based access controls (e.g., 'Customer Support' or 'App Manager' roles in App Store Connect), heavily bound by corporate NDAs.
Free Technical Project Manager
A dedicated PM acts as your liaison. They train the VA on your specific app features, monitor reply quality to user reviews, and manage daily output. 100% free.
Zero Freelancer Markups
Avoid the 20-40% fees found on generic platforms. You pay strictly a flat hourly rate for the pure operational hours logged by your App VA.

Saved my sanity during launch
"Managing our TestFlight beta was a nightmare. Our Sagedoer VA organized 500+ testers, collated their feedback from emails into our Jira board, and formatted all our App Store metadata. Incredible value."
David R.
Indie Developer
Better app ratings instantly
"We were ignoring 1-star reviews because our engineers didn't have time to reply. Our VA now replies to every review daily and escalates real bugs. Our average rating went from 3.8 to 4.6."
Sarah M.
Mobile Agency PM
The free PM is the real deal
"I was skeptical about security, but giving them 'Customer Support' role access in App Store Connect worked perfectly. The free Project Manager ensures the VA follows our exact refund policies via RevenueCat."
