Forge
What Forge is
Forge is a web-based AI app builder that turns natural-language descriptions into web applications. It generates code using React, Next.js, Tailwind CSS, and shadcn/ui, with a live preview for viewing generated apps. Users can export the full code on the Free plan and deploy with one click. GitHub is its listed integration. Forge is built for web apps, not mobile apps, and offers both deployment options. The Free plan costs nothing and includes five generations per day, core features, code export, and community support. Forge describes its audience as indie makers, developers, startups, agencies, and teams building web products. On Pro and Enterprise, commercial use of generated content requires an active paid subscription. The service combines app generation, preview, export, and deployment for people starting with a written product idea.
