Knowledge that fits in your pocket.
Apps with brains.
Pocket Bartender puts cocktail knowledge on tap, Avenue tells you how clothes will fit before you buy, and CityPulse helps you find the city the guidebooks miss. All three are in development in Dublin right now.
ScrollThree apps in the works, and websites built to order.
Pocket Knowledge is a small Dublin studio doing two things with care: building its own apps, and building websites for people who want theirs done properly.
Our own apps
Pocket Bartender, Avenue and CityPulse started life as notes on Shane's phone and are now deep in development. We build things we'd actually use: at the bar, in the changing room queue, or lost down a side street.
Websites, built properly
We design and build websites for businesses that want theirs done right. You deal directly with the person writing the code, which keeps things quick and honest.
Thinking baked in
Our logo is a pocket with a line that rises into a brain and ends in a star. That's the job in one picture: take something small, put real thought into it, and finish with a bit of magic.
One pocket.
Three apps on the way.
Each one exists because we wanted it and couldn't find it. CityPulse is the furthest along.
Pocket Bartender
Cocktail knowledge on tap.
There's a shelf of bottles in your kitchen doing absolutely nothing. Pocket Bartender is the app we're building to sort that: a proper bartender's knowledge, on tap, folded small enough to fit in your pocket.
Avenue
Know how it fits before you buy.
The jeans looked grand online. Then they arrived. Avenue is our fix for that, an app in the works to help you know how clothes will actually fit you before you buy, no changing room queue required.
CityPulse
Find the streets the guidebooks missed.
CityPulse gathers its finds from local blogs and re-checks every one each fortnight, and its planner builds your next few hours from the live weather and wherever you happen to be standing. Then there's serendipity mode, which hands you a direction and a distance and won't reveal the destination until you get there.
Every good app starts as a stubborn thought.
Every app we're making began as a thought that refused to leave. Standing at a bar, looking at a shelf of bottles and recognising maybe three of them. Waiting in a changing room queue holding jeans you already suspect are wrong. Or a rainy Tuesday in a strange city, certain the good stuff is one street over and no way to prove it.
Most thoughts like that are gone by morning. Ours get written down, argued over and built, because software is thinking made durable: a good decision that keeps working while you sleep. Pocket Knowledge is a small Dublin company, and small is a feature. A small team holds a whole idea in its head at once, which is something no floor of meeting rooms can do.
We hold a plain view of intelligence too. It means knowing what matters right now, from the exact spot where you're standing: what the sky is about to do, and which corner deserves your next hour. That's the idea we're building CityPulse around, with Pocket Bartender and Avenue coming up behind it.
Nothing of ours has launched yet, and we won't pretend otherwise. That suits us fine, because shipping beats talking, and we intend to do our talking with the apps. Pocket Knowledge Limited was founded in Dublin in 2026 to do one thing well: take a thought small enough to fit in a pocket and point it at something bright.
Built in Dublin.
Made for your pocket.
Pocket Knowledge Limited is an Irish private company limited by shares, founded in 2026 and headquartered in Dublin, Ireland.
The name is the whole mission: knowledge, folded up small enough to carry. We build apps that answer the question you actually have, right where you're standing, and we build websites for people who want the same care put into theirs.
All three of our apps are in active development. If you'd like to talk about them, about a website build, or about working together, we'd love to hear from you.
Got an idea, or half of one?
We should talk.
Send us a message and a real human, probably Shane, will get back to you.
