Forest City Software built in the Forest City.
Forest City Software is an independent studio in Cleveland. We design and build web apps, iOS apps and custom tools for small businesses and teams, and we stay on to keep them running.
What we build
Web and mobile apps
Customer-facing web apps and native iOS apps, from first sketch to App Store release.
Custom tools and automation
Internal dashboards, integrations and scripts that replace spreadsheets and repetitive work.
Technical consulting
Architecture reviews, cloud setup and a second opinion before you hire or buy.
Rooted in Cleveland
Forest City Software was founded in 2026 by Ethan Malenchek. You work directly with the person writing your code, from the first call to the final release.
Cleveland has been called the Forest City since the 1850s, when residents lined its streets with shade trees. We like the name for the same reason we like good software: it should be planted carefully and built to last.
