Forger Desktop catalog showing installable local apps including Finance OS and Recipes.

App adaptation

Personalize apps however you want

Ask Forger for a concrete change and the assistant works inside the local app instead of replacing it with a generic chat.

Hi, Forger. I would like Finance OS to show a new dashboard chart: income vs. expenses, month by month, for the last year.

Perfect. I will review the dashboard structure and prepare the change.

Done. I added the chart to the Finance OS dashboard. Refresh the app to see it.

For AI features, Forger uses the account or subscription you connect. Your app data is handled locally in your workspace, and Forger does not have access to your financial data.

What is Forger

Real apps, running on your computer

Forger is not another cloud dashboard. It is a way to install and use open applications in your own local space, with an AI layer that understands each app and its data.

Open apps

The local core, app contract, and first base apps start from open and reviewable code.

Local-first

Apps install into a private workspace and work with the data you choose to bring into each one.

Contextual AI

AI does not replace the app: it helps you query, understand, and adapt it through concrete changes.

How it works

One AI layer for multiple personal apps

Forger Desktop installs local apps, prepares their environment, and connects each app with the ChatGPT subscription you choose to use.

Install & connect

Install Forger and connect your ChatGPT subscription so apps can use an AI layer you control.

Download apps

Choose personal apps from the catalog and run them locally in your private workspace.

Talk and adapt

Ask questions, review information, or request concrete app adjustments.

Available apps

Ecosystem

More personal apps on the same stack

Forger is designed so one local layer can install, operate, and adapt different open apps, each with its own data.

Local recipes

Personal CRM

Home inventory

Your apps. Your data. Your computer.

Installed apps live in a private workspace. Access to external files happens when you share them with an app for a concrete task.

Desktop security as a foundation

Forger Desktop is designed around local boundaries, explicit permissions, and a clear split between the interface, runtime, and installed apps.

An open core for personal apps

Forger Desktop, the local runtime, the app contract, and the first base apps form the open core of the ecosystem.

Forger Cloud

Cloud when it makes sense, not by default

Forger Cloud will be the optional layer for sync, managed hosting, mobile access, backups, and remote execution. The starting point remains local: Forger Desktop and open apps on your machine.

Sync

To bring your personal apps to more devices when you need that.

Managed hosting

To use apps without managing local infrastructure.

Mobile access

To view or operate apps from your phone.

Backups

To protect the workspace without changing the local-first model.

Open beta

Forger Desktop is in early beta and starts with open-source apps.

Today the focus is the local core, app installation, and first experiences like Finance OS. To use AI capabilities, you can connect a compatible account when an app asks for it.
