Forge · for yourself
You give it the shape of your problem, and it builds you a custom tool to solve it — repeatable, editable, and yours. Not software. Not another app. A tool made for your problem, by talking. It lives on your computer, in plain files you own, and there's nothing you can break.
$500 once · self-install · yours forever
It builds you tools, not software. You describe the result you want; it builds and runs the thing that gets you there.
How it works
Like a tool-maker sketching a prototype — "is this about what you're looking for?" — Forge builds you the working shape of a custom tool, and you refine it by talking. Like 80% of it? Change the other 20% just by saying so. Unlimited edits.
No code, no commands, no interface to learn. You describe the job in plain language — the result you're actually after — and it handles the build, the scaffolding, the output.
An AI software developer in your pocket. It writes the tool, runs it, and shows you the result. Don't like something? Say so. It changes. That's the whole loop.
The tools you build stay yours — real files on your own computer, on top of whatever you already use. Run them again next week, change them anytime, no subscription holding them hostage.
Explore to your heart's content. Everything is sandboxed, everything is saved, and anything you change rolls back. Curiosity without the fear tax.
The shift that matters
Stop naming the software. Name the job.
Forge isn't "a CRM builder" or "a better spreadsheet." It's the thing that answers the question you actually have — who are my highest-value clients, who do I follow up with, what's the next move. You don't need another app. You need the answer, and the tool that keeps giving it to you.
The old frame
What Forge actually does
What does it cost you to make a decision right now — the research, the meetings, the time? Forge drops that cost. That's the whole game.
What you're actually getting
Forge is a real agentic operating environment that runs on your computer: plain text files you always see and control, nothing built in a black box, with hard sandbox boundaries so it can't act outside its lane or wreck your machine without your say-so. Buy in and you get a runtime version of everything you see — plus an unlimited license to change it, extend it, and build anything else.
The part everyone's talking about
"Agentic AI" is the phrase everywhere right now — an AI that doesn't just chat, but remembers, plans, uses tools, and spins up its own helpers to get real work done. The catch is that harnessing it normally means becoming a developer: building agents, wiring up connectors, managing memory and context. Forge bundles all of that inside and just hands you the result.
It knows you, your work, and everything you've built — every session, not a blank slate each time.
Big job? It fans out sub-agents to work in parallel, and manages them for you.
It reads and writes your files and runs real, multi-step work — not just talk — always asking before it steps outside its world.
Everything it builds becomes something you can run again, just by talking.
You never learn what a sub-agent or a connector is. You talk; it orchestrates — the power of agentic AI, without the PhD.
The invitation
Just talk to it. Ask for the tool you always wished existed. Build the thing you assumed was someone else's job. You can't break anything while you try, and anything you make is yours to keep.
Own it
Buy the tier that fits and you own it outright — no subscription required to keep what you built.
$500 one-time
Unlimited tools, unlimited builds, all the functionality — self-install, runs on your own computer, yours forever. Everything most people ever need.
+$2,000 one-time
Everything in Personal, plus the power to architect your own multi-part system — spin up your own front-door workspaces, not just run one.
$10,000 up to 3
One shared company brain, your team's playbooks, and a Forge for each person — built with you. More than three? Let's talk.
Optional — none of it required. $25/mo to stay current with my latest tools and templates, or a one-time $250 catch-up whenever you want the latest (own your app fine without either). · $500/hr if you ever want my hands on your setup. · Managed by Rogue Agents if you'd rather we run the whole thing for you.
The one thing you need
Forge is the harness — the brain is Claude. It's a powerful tool, so it needs a powerful model: plan on the $100/month Claude Max plan to run it well. That's your own account, paid straight to Claude — I'm not a Claude affiliate, and I make nothing from it. That relationship is entirely between you and Claude. And it's not money down a hole: the same subscription powers everything else Claude can do, far beyond Forge.

It doesn't do everything. That's the point.
Before you download
I built this to be safe. Claude Code is safe to begin with, and I've layered a walled garden on top for even more protection. Forge lives in its own little world and has to ask you first — with a pop-up card that states exactly what it's asking permission to do — before it deletes anything, touches a file outside its world, or goes out to the web. You approve those by hand, so you always see exactly what it's reaching for outside the garden.
But it's a framework, not a foolproof box. If you decide to be a giant idiot about it — pasting random junk off the web and rubber-stamping every card without reading it — you can still get yourself in trouble. That one-half-of-one-percent chance is on you. So, a quick check before you buy:
None of these stop you from downloading — they just make you think. If you wanted to check a box but couldn't, go take care of that first. If you're good: have fun. At download you'll get the real EULA + waiver — including a line that says you read this checklist and you're safe.
