● Independent studio · Reading, UK

We forge apps people actually open.

Oakforge Studios designs, builds and runs its own products — a real-world missile game, a nights-out app and whatever's next on the workbench — from the first sketch to the server at 2am.

Shipped, live, and still improving.

Two products in the wild, each with its own backend, its own users and its own personality.

Next out of the forge.

What's on the workbench. Early, opinionated, and not quite ready for the App Store.

03 — Open source

Built in the open.

Tools we built for ourselves and put on GitHub, plus fixes we've sent upstream.

04 — The studio

Small team. Long memory.

Oakforge Studios Ltd is a small, founder-led studio. We'd rather own a handful of products properly than build a hundred for someone else.

We run what we ship

Every product here is ours — we write the app, the backend, the billing and the on-call. No hand-offs, no agency churn.

Native where it counts

React Native and Expo for speed, then Swift for the parts people touch most: Live Activities, widgets, App Clips, Watch apps.

Real-time by default

WebSockets, live maps and presence are our home turf. If friends are in it together, it should feel live.

Privacy is a feature

Blurred locations, opt-in discovery, automatic content screening, and accounts you can actually delete.

Got an idea, a bug, or a bone to pick?

Each product has its own inbox so the right person sees it first. For anything else, find us on X or GitHub.
