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.
Engineering, native and web
Native iOS and Android apps, with websites built to the same bar. Clean architecture, properly tested, the 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 is trusted by thousands of 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 →
Jane McKay
Founder & Principal Engineer
A principal engineer with 25 years across financial systems, connected systems, data warehousing and quality engineering — who built HRTMe around a deterministic scheduling engine that handles regimens ordinary reminder apps can't model — and who has also architected and built, from the ground up, an entire AI software factory: autonomous multi-agent delivery with deterministic orchestration and enforced quality gates, engineering that sits at the bleeding edge of the field. Forgeyard is where that calibre of engineering is aimed at health software that has to be right.
