Building apps for the underserved corners of women's health.

Forgeyard Digital is an independent iOS product studio specialising in women's health applications. We design and engineer privacy-first apps for underserved populations — starting with HRT and menopause, with roadmap apps in development for special educational needs (SEN), parosmia recovery, and blood pressure logging.

Our flagship app, HRTMe, is an HRT reminder and tracker built to handle the complexity of real cyclical regimens — patches, gels, and capsules on shifting schedules that ordinary reminder apps cannot model. Developed with input from practising NHS clinicians (Forgeyard Digital is not NHS-affiliated), the app launched organically in early 2025 and now supports over 1,400+ women, found entirely by word of mouth.

Everything we ship is built to a consistent standard: medically careful language, genuine on-device privacy, native iOS and Apple Watch polish, and the patience to handle the complicated cases other apps ignore.

Jane McKay is an iOS developer with 25 years' industry experience, latterly leading engineering teams, who built HRTMe — for herself, while on HRT. She founded Forgeyard Digital to continue building apps for the underserved corners of women's health where good software is scarce and the stakes are deeply personal.
