AI app builder for macOS
Build the app you want, not just what you need.
The Forge handles the hard parts of vibecoding — writing the spec, tracking the features, and building the code with AI — all in one window, all on your Mac.

How it works
From an idea to a running app without leaving one window — and without you writing the boilerplate.
01
Interview
Answer questions about what you're building. The Forge locks a clear, versioned spec.
02
Build with AI
An in-app agent implements each feature against your repo, feature by feature.
03
Run & Preview
Launch it on a simulator or emulator and watch it live, with hot reload.
04
Ship
It updates your docs, commits, and pushes — then tracks what's next.
What it does
A project manager and a builder, in one.
Talk it through, get a spec
A guided interview turns a rough idea into a locked, versioned spec — with the LLM judging when each answer is actually clear enough to build from.
Build with AI
An in-app implementation agent writes real code into your repo — targeted edits, not full rewrites — gated on a clean analyze pass, streaming its work so you can watch.
A tracker that thinks
A feature board with AI tools built in: scan your repo for what exists, recommend what to build next, plan the build order into versions, and dedupe.
Run & Preview
Run your app on a simulator or emulator and watch it live inside The Forge — it even boots the simulator for you — with hot reload and the build console right there.
Architect the hard parts
It spots the features too big to one-shot, breaks them into properly sized sub-tasks, and refuses to fake work it can't do — like an ML model that needs a real dataset.
Yours, and private
Bring your own key — Ollama Cloud, Claude, or OpenAI. Your keys are stored encrypted in the macOS Keychain, the app is signed & notarized, and there's a built-in security check.
What you build with it
macOS
A native Mac app. Signed and notarized by Apple — no scary "unidentified developer" warning.
Flutter apps
Target iOS, Android, macOS, and web from one codebase — The Forge scaffolds, builds, and runs them for you.
AI key
Point it at Ollama Cloud, Claude, or OpenAI. You choose the models; you own the usage.
Made for people building their first real app — and their tenth.
