Built by an Indie Developer, for Developers
Forge was born from a simple frustration: App Store Connect in the browser is painfully slow. There had to be a better way.
The Story
If you are an iOS or macOS developer, you know the pain. App Store Connect in the browser is slow, clunky, and requires constant page reloads. Managing TestFlight builds, updating metadata across localizations, or responding to customer reviews feels like it takes forever.
Forge started as a personal tool to solve this exact problem. The idea was simple: what if App Store Connect was a native Mac app? What if it loaded instantly, worked with keyboard shortcuts, and felt like the rest of your development tools?
That idea turned into Forge — a native macOS app that connects directly to the App Store Connect API. No web views, no Electron wrapper. Just SwiftUI and AppKit, built for speed and reliability.
Then came Forge Agent — an AI assistant that understands App Store Connect. Instead of clicking through forms, you can tell Forge Agent what you need in plain English. Update metadata across 40 localizations? One prompt. Analyze your latest reviews? Just ask.
About the Developer
Forge is built by Baris Bingor, an indie developer who has been building iOS and macOS apps for years. As someone who ships apps regularly, the friction of using App Store Connect in a browser was a daily annoyance that needed solving.
Forge is an indie product — designed, developed, and maintained by a solo developer who actually uses it every day. Every feature is built because it solves a real problem, not because a product manager added it to a roadmap.
