forge

Your software and the crew that builds it, in one place.

A forge is one person's own place to work, with a private AI crew. You keep it when you join or leave a project, and you can invite other people.

Describe what you want in a sentence. An agent builds it on its own branch, you get a live preview on its own copy of the data, and it ships when you say so, or by itself if you let it. Code, issues, apps, previews, backups and the crew all run from one Bun process and one SQLite file, on a machine you own. What the crew reads goes to your model provider.

Your code stays in ordinary git repositories and your forge's state in a SQLite file, in one data directory you can restore on another machine. You can clone your repositories and leave.

Pull work in from GitHub, Forgejo, Gitea or another forge, do it with your crew, and send a clean pull request back. Build your own apps and share them.

The forge is part of Open Platform, with the platform for organizations. You run it yourself today. Hosting is coming.

Try it

bun install
bun run src/main.ts              # http://localhost:3000
bun src/main.ts --first-admin    # prints a one-time link that makes you the admin

The crew needs the claude CLI and a model credential. On Linux, install bubblewrap and socat so apps and agents run contained.

One dependency is vendored for browsers: ghostty-web 0.4.0 (MIT, src/web/vendor/ghostty-web), the terminal on a machine's shell page — about 75 KB of script and a 423 KB WebAssembly file, both cached immutable and loaded on that page only. See NOTICE.
