Hammered into shape. Built to last.

Dawn Forged is a development house. We design and build web apps, mobile apps and the tools behind them, from the first sketch to launch day and beyond.

What we build

Software for people who need it to work on day one and keep working for years.

Our work

Products we design, build and run ourselves, and systems we've built for others. They're the best way to see what we make.

Our product

Lullaby Logs

A preschool app on iOS and Android that keeps teachers and parents in step: daily logs, parent messages, one-time pickup codes and school fee invoices, all in one place.

How we work

Every project goes through the same four heats. You see working software early and often.

  1. 1

    Spark

    We talk through what you need and who it's for. If we're not the right fit, we'll say so.

  2. 2

    Heat

    We shape a plan and a clickable prototype, so you can try the idea before it's built.

  3. 3

    Strike

    We build in short cycles and show you working software at the end of each one.

  4. 4

    Temper

    We test, harden and launch, then stay on to fix, improve and keep things running.
