Agent-first development workbench

A cloud-shaped IDE,
on your own Mac.

Open a project, get a workspace with every tool an agent needs — terminal, AI chat, browser, code review, simulator — pre-wired. No VMs, no containers, no servers. Your shell, your files, your API keys. Native SwiftUI all the way down.

What's inside

Every tool an agent needs.

Split, tab, and arrange panes per workspace. Sessions survive workspace switches — terminals keep running, chats keep streaming, pages stay loaded.

Terminal

Real PTY terminals that keep running when you switch workspaces. Launch Claude Code, Codex, Aider, or any CLI agent straight into your project — Forge detects what's installed.

  • Persistent sessions
  • Agent auto-detect
  • Login-shell PATH
  • Activity status

AI Chat

Talk to Anthropic or OpenAI models with your own keys, stored in the Keychain. Compare multiple agents side-by-side in the Compare pane.

  • BYO API keys
  • Streaming
  • Multi-agent compare
  • Keychain only

Browser

A real WKWebView next to your terminal — preview your dev server, read docs, test the thing the agent just built. Page state survives workspace switches.

  • Persistent pages
  • Dev-server preview
  • Per-leaf sessions

Code Review

Git status, diffs, staging, commits, and PR lists without leaving the workspace. Ask AI to review the diff before you ship it.

  • Stage & commit
  • gh PR list
  • AI review
  • Inline diffs

Voice

Dictate straight into the focused terminal — adaptive silence detection auto-commits the transcript. Say "Command, …" to trigger palette actions hands-free.

  • Silence auto-commit
  • Wake-word commands
  • Global hotkey

And the rest

Quick single-file editor, markdown preview, sticky notes, log tail, HTTP client, planning board kanban — plus an iOS simulator pane on the way.

  • Editor
  • Markdown
  • Notes
  • Log tail
  • HTTP
  • Planning board
Why Forge

Native. Local. Yours.

Cloud agent workspaces, minus the cloud.

100% native SwiftUI

No Electron. No web views pretending to be apps. Feels like macOS because it is macOS.

Fully local

No VMs, no containers, no accounts. Shell runs on your Mac, files live in your folders. AI is optional and runs on your own keys.

Workspaces that persist

Split panes, tab groups, per-workspace accents. Switch projects with ⌘1–⌘9 — everything keeps running.

Auto-updates

Sparkle-signed updates ship over the air. Apple-notarized DMGs, EdDSA-verified — no App Store middleman.
