The app economy ignores millions of people. We build for them.
Profit funds purpose here. The group sponsors a fully independent studio for underserved communities — and takes on social digital projects for free.
Forgeyard Digital — a studio with one job
We fund and sponsor Forgeyard Digital, an independent app studio set up specifically to build for people mainstream tech ignores: communities whose needs are real but whose markets are too small, too sensitive or too unglamorous for venture-backed software. Forgeyard’s apps get the same senior design and engineering as anything the agency sells — because underserved shouldn’t mean under-built.
CuffLog
For families looking after ageing parents: photograph any BP monitor's reading — even old, unconnected cuffs — and a model deciphers and records it. Trends, honest charts, a GP-ready report. On the App Store.
HRTMe
Private, judgment-free hormone therapy tracking, trusted by thousands of perimenopausal and menopausal women — a community other apps overlook. On the App Store.
Breaket
Compassionate, evidence-based support for breaking a vaping habit — progress you can feel, without shame mechanics or streak guilt.
Why it exists
Because good software shouldn’t be a privilege of profitable demographics. Health tools for overlooked conditions, dignity-first design, no ads, no data harvesting — software that treats its users as people to serve, not audiences to sell.
Social digital projects — built for free
Beyond Forgeyard, the agency takes on a small number of social digital projects at no charge: community groups, charities and causes that need real software but could never fund an agency build. Same senior team, same standard, zero invoice. If your project genuinely serves people who are usually ignored, pitch it to us — the worst we can say is “not this quarter”.
Common questions
Do you really build digital projects for free?
Yes — a limited number each year, chosen for impact. Community groups, charities and causes serving overlooked people get the same senior team and the same standard, with no invoice.
