Forge Code

Forge Code documentation

Forge Code is an agentic coding assistant that runs in your terminal. You describe a task; Forge reads the code it needs, edits files, runs commands and checks its work, asking before anything risky.

Two parts

Section titled “Two parts”
  • Forge Code, the terminal app. It is local first: your files, sessions and settings stay on your machine.
  • Your Forge account, required to use Forge Code. It gives you model usage on a plan (no API key needed), cloud sessions in isolated sandboxes, schedules that run while your machine is off, share links, Remote Control and voice input. You can still bring your own provider key.
