About
The lion and the forge.
Relentless Forge is a small, independent studio. We build focused apps for specific people, and we keep improving them long after launch.
Where the lion comes from.
The lion, shumba, is our founder’s totem, from the Shumbamazi clan. It isn’t a mascot we picked. It’s an inheritance.
A lion stands for courage, for leadership, and for protecting what’s yours. Those are the things we want our apps to carry: the courage to build for people others overlook, and the care to protect the people who trust us with their days, their habits and their data.
Why a forge.
A forge turns raw material into something strong through heat, patience and thousands of deliberate strikes.
That’s how we make software. We choose problems carefully, ship something dependable, listen to what resists, and strike again. Nothing here is ever finished; it just gets stronger.
How we work.
Courage
We build boldly in niches others ignore, for one kind of person at a time.
Craft
Every app is beautifully made, down to the smallest screen.
Relentlessness
We keep shipping, measuring and improving, week after week.
The Forge Creed
Choose your iron carefully.
The studio’s creed is a poem by our founder, Dominic Ndondo. It begins with choosing what is worth shaping, and ends with a reminder: there is always another blade to forge.
