Independent iOS product studio

We build calm, trustworthy apps for underserved populations.

Forgeyard Digital designs and engineers iOS apps for overlooked and underserved populations — starting with women on HRT and menopause journeys.

What we do

Small studio. High craft. Built to be trusted.

Product & design

We turn genuinely hard problems — complex regimens, anxious users — into interfaces that feel calm and obvious.

Native iOS engineering

Swift, SwiftUI, Apple Watch. Clean architecture, properly tested, the kind of reliability health and wellness users deserve.

🛡

Privacy by default

On-device data, no accounts, nothing sold. We build apps that underserved populations can trust with their most personal information.

Selected work

HRTMe — the HRT reminder women actually keep using.

Case study · iOS & watchOS

The reminder she wished existed.

HRT isn't one pill at one time — it's gels, patches and capsules on shifting cyclical schedules that ordinary reminder apps can't model. We designed and built HRTMe to hold that complexity so women don't have to. It now supports over 1,400 women, found entirely by word of mouth.

About

A studio born from a real problem.

Forgeyard Digital is an independent product studio. We don't chase every brief — we go deep on underserved and overlooked populations, where good software is scarce and the stakes are personal. Read our full story →

Founder & iOS Developer

An iOS developer who spent eight years at Dyson, latterly as a Senior Software Engineering Manager, before building HRTMe — for herself, while on HRT. Forgeyard is where that work continues.
