A proper front door
Username and password, then a six-digit code by email. A trusted phone can skip the code for 30 days.
Every app. One door.
The Forge's own app store, and how we ship apps to clients. Publish a build from a phone, send one invite link, and your client signs in to find their app on iPhone, Android or the web.

Shipping to clients
Ship a build from a phone.
The Forge console lives right inside the store, visible only to the studio. Publish a new app or version, invite a client with one link and answer access requests without opening a laptop. The moment a build is published, it is on their shelf.

The shelf
Like a real store. Built for one studio.
A featured banner, categories, search and top picks, each tile wearing its app's own colors. Add it to a home screen and it opens full screen like any other app.
- Web opens in a tap
- Android direct download
- iPhone test builds
Installing
Three steps. No guesswork.
Every listing shows exactly which way in fits your phone. Android gets a short guide before the download, iPhone goes through Apple's test app, and web apps simply open. Updates land in My apps.
Inside the store
Every screen, the real one.
Captured from the store itself, running on sample data.
Codes that type themselves
Each box jumps to the next, and the code submits the moment it is complete.
The whole shelf
Every app with the platforms it runs on, filtered by out now or coming soon.
One page per app
Screenshots, ratings, size and what's new, with a button for each way to install.
Pre-register
Apps still in the works get a listing early, so friends hear the moment they ship.
Updates in one place
Installed apps with an Update button when a new build lands, and an email if you want one.
