Voidforge is a product engineering studio in Ōtepoti Dunedin. We design, build and ship software for founders, organisations and agencies who can't afford to ship something that doesn't work. And we care what it's for.
Your mission goes at the top. Three lines underneath are already filled in, and they don't change, whoever you are.
We work with founders, product teams and organisations building something that needs to exist: in health, climate, community, public services, and plain good business.
Four things we're close to right now. One we lead engineering on, one we co-founded, one we made for ourselves, and one we're part of.
Better workflows for every kind of thinker.
One in five adults thinks differently and most never find out. Peppr sits inside Slack, Teams and the calendar and reshapes the same message for each person, no diagnosis or disclosure required.

We build AI agents that do real work inside the tools your business already uses, and we keep them running. Your data stays put, and nothing you would regret happens without a person saying yes.
See how it worksWe look at how work actually moves through your business, where the hours go, and where the risk sits. You get a short list of the first agents worth having, and a straight answer about the ones that are not.
An agent doing a real job in your CRM, accounting, inbox or documents. It only sees what it needs, every action is on record, and anything you could not undo waits for a person. Handed over working.
We keep it working as your business changes. Someone is watching, updating, and adding the next workflow when you are ready for it.
Startups on their first build and companies with a lot to lose. The same standard for both.
The development planning was thorough and the level of innovation remarkably high. Voidforge brought our technology solutions to the commercial start-line with confidence. The team is resourceful, deeply technical, and has a rare ability to explain complex ideas in a way that non-technical colleagues and clients can actually understand.

Drian's team is a dream to work with. Despite an impossibly tight deadline, they delivered the project seamlessly with time to spare, injecting expert knowledge throughout and offering thoughtful suggestions that made our lives easier. Easy to communicate with, reliable, on budget, and always on schedule. Highly recommended.

Voidforge understood our brief and delivered well above our expectations, providing us with solutions to not only improve our brief but suggestions to future proof the recruitment platform, allowing us to edit and amend changes independently.

iOS, Android and web, with the APIs and data underneath. We take the engineering lead, hold the scope to what will ship, and take it through to release. Directly for you, or under an agency's name.
Lume Music went to the stores this way.
Software someone else built, or that you built years ago and outgrew. We read it, stabilise it, and hand back something a team can work in with confidence. We rewrite when the numbers say so, and not before.
Something real people can hold within weeks, hardware or software, so you can decide with evidence. Then a straight answer on what it would take to build properly.
