Hidden Forge Ltd is an independent UK studio. We build and ship our own mobile apps and web services — practical products made with modern tools, built to respect the person using them.
Hidden Forge Ltd is an independent app & web studio and the parent company of Wisp Vault — the offline, AES-256 encrypted privacy vault for Android.
We build what excites us — mobile apps, web services and tools we'd genuinely want to use ourselves. Some are privacy-focused, like Wisp; others will simply be useful or fun.
Every product is built and supported in-house using modern development tools — and we stand behind what we release.
Our own ideas, built and supported by us — no clones, no white labels.
We use today's best development tools to move quickly without cutting corners.
Long-term support and honest updates — not abandonware.
Three products live today — with more heating up in the forge.
Your private vault, hidden in plain sight. Wisp stores photos, videos, documents, notes and passwords behind realistic decoy apps — 100% offline with AES-256 encryption, Intruder Selfie, Panic Wipe and a Dead Man's Switch.
Free PDF redaction that happens 100% in your browser — no uploads, no accounts, nothing stored. Redact bank statements and sensitive documents by hand for free, or turn on optional AI-assisted detection with OCR for scans, batch mode and audit reports.
Stack. Scan. Price. Film yourself stacking trading cards and CardArk does the rest — AI slices the video into a snapshot per card, identifies the name, set and rarity, and files everything into a searchable binder with live market pricing and a per-card condition dial.
🔨 More apps & web services are on the anvil — watch this space.
A small operation with full ownership of every step.
Clean, usable interfaces for mobile and the web — designed around what each product actually needs.
Fast, reliable builds for mobile and the browser — made with today's best tools, with encryption and on-device processing when a product calls for it.
Releases, updates and honest support — our products are maintained, not abandoned.
Questions about our apps, partnerships or press? We read everything.
