What is Forge?
Forge is a Windows desktop app that builds and signs React Native releases entirely on your machine — Android locally, iOS via free GitHub Actions. No cloud build queue. No per-build cost. No EAS dependency.
🤖 Android
Build and sign locally on Windows with Gradle. Full control, zero cloud cost.
🍎 iOS
Create certificates on Windows, compile on free GitHub Actions runners, submit to TestFlight from your desktop. No Mac required.
🏪 Submit Anywhere
Upload to Google Play or TestFlight directly. Version management, crash-reporter control, all built in.
💻 Windows-First
Designed for Windows React Native developers. GUI, not CLI. Offline-first. Never asks for your cloud creds.
🔐 Offline License
Ed25519 offline validation. No server, no phone-home, no internet required to use your license.
💰 One-Time Fee
Buy once, use forever. No subscription. Perpetual license key.
