Install beta

One command. Any platform.

Forge is a command-line tool and a dashboard that runs on your own machine. It works alongside whichever coding agent you already use — it does not replace one, and it never runs a model itself. Everything here is free: projects, explorations, decisions, frozen versions. Forge Cloud is the subscription, and it is for the one part that needs other people.

01 Requirements

Small footprint, strong opinions.

  • SystemNode 20 or later. macOS, Linux, or Windows.
  • ModelsNone of ours. Forge records the work your coding agent does — Claude Code, Codex, or anything else — and never runs a model or holds a model credential.
  • InterfaceA CLI for the loop, and forge dash for reading the record in a browser. Both run locally against your repository.
  • ProjectsPlain Git repositories with readable files. Delete Forge and every record survives.
  • PriceLocal use is free. Hosted reviews are the subscription.

02 Platforms

There is no platform build to wait for.

Forge is a Node package, so it installs the same way everywhere and there is no Mac build, no Windows build, and nothing to sign. The dashboard is a local web app; your browser is the window.
