30 SECONDS TO ACCESS

Install. Scan. Code.

No Tailscale. No port forwarding. No VPN. No 45-minute setup guides.

01 — INSTALL SERVER

One command on your Mac or Linux box

~ $ curl -fsSL forje.dev/install | sh
✓ SSH enabled + hardened
✓ tmux configured
✓ Relay connected (zero open ports)
✓ QR code ready

Mac: download the .dmg. Linux: one-line script. Both auto-configure everything.

02 — SCAN QR

Open Forje on your phone, scan the code

256-bit encrypted pairing. One scan, paired forever. Works on WiFi, 5G, tethering — any network.

03 — YOU'RE IN

Full dev environment on your phone

Terminal. VS Code. AI tools. Files. System monitor. All connected to YOUR machine, running YOUR code, with YOUR auth.

WHAT YOU GET

A complete dev environment in your pocket

Terminal + Custom Keyboard

Full xterm-256color emulator. Custom mobile keyboard bar with C-c, ESC, arrows, tab — designed for terminal on a phone. Not a toy.

VS Code in Browser

Full code-server on your machine. One tap to expose via Cloudflare tunnel — get a secure URL + QR code. Open from any browser, any device. Works through corporate firewalls (port 443).

Camera → AI

Photograph a whiteboard, screenshot, or bug. Upload to your machine. Claude/Codex reads the image and acts on it. From your pocket.

Sketch → Code

Draw a wireframe on your phone screen. AI reads it, implements the UI, deploys it. From a napkin sketch to live site.

Voice Input

Dictate commands or AI instructions hands-free. Speech-to-text directly into the terminal.

tmux Sessions

See all running sessions. Tap to resume. Start Claude Code at home, check progress from the train, approve changes at dinner.

System Monitor

CPU, RAM, disk, uptime — real-time. Top processes sorted by CPU or memory. See what's eating resources, kill it from your phone.

Port Monitor

Every listening port, which process owns it, PID. Tap to tunnel any port via Cloudflare. Tap to kill. Like Activity Monitor, from anywhere.

MCP Gallery

Browse the official MCP server registry. One-tap install for Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Copilot. Global or per-project.

AI Tool Shortcuts

One-tap launch: Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Copilot. Toolbar buttons in the terminal — no typing commands.

File Browser

Navigate, upload, download via SFTP. Send photos from your phone to your server. Works on macOS and Linux.

Coolify Deploy

One-tap deploy with Coolify integration. See app status, trigger deploys, monitor — all from your phone.

SECURITY

More secure than direct SSH

Your machine has zero open ports. The relay is a blind byte pipe. Even we can't read your traffic.

WHY NOT JUST USE...

You already have the best dev machine

Your Mac has an M-series chip, 24-36GB RAM, your files, your tools, your AI auth. Why rent a worse computer?

WHO IT'S FOR

Every developer who leaves their desk

Mac dev at home

Your M4 MacBook has 12 cores and your Claude Code subscription. Access it from your phone on the couch, at the coffee shop, or on the train.

VPS power user

Your $5 Hetzner box runs your projects. Full VS Code + terminal from your phone. Better than $80/mo Codespaces.

Team lead at dinner

Deploy failed? Open Forje, see the error, fix the config, re-deploy via Coolify. Back to dinner in 2 minutes.

AI agent supervisor

Start a Claude Code refactor at your desk. Leave. Get notified when it finishes. Approve the changes from your phone.

Office developer

Need your home Mac at work? VS Code through port 443 — looks like normal web traffic. Corporate firewall doesn't even notice.

Student

Turn a free Oracle Cloud VM into a full dev environment. Access from any device at school. Pay nothing.

FAQ

Common questions

Does Forje work with macOS?

Yes. Install the Forje Server companion app (.dmg) on your Mac. It auto-configures SSH, tmux, code-server, and connects to the relay. Your Mac is accessible from anywhere — zero open ports.

What about Linux VPS?

Any Linux server with SSH works. Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, Arch, CentOS. One-line install: curl -fsSL forje.dev/install | sh

Can the Forje relay read my terminal traffic?

No. The relay is a blind byte pipe. Your SSH connection is end-to-end encrypted — the relay sees only ciphertext. Even if our relay was fully compromised, your traffic remains unreadable. This is the same security model as Signal.

Does it work through corporate firewalls?

Yes. Forje routes through standard HTTPS on port 443 via Cloudflare infrastructure. To your corporate firewall, it looks identical to normal web traffic (Slack, Notion, etc). Works on ~95% of corporate networks.

How is VS Code sharing secured?

code-server runs on your machine (localhost only). When you tap "Share," Forje creates a Cloudflare tunnel with a generated password. You get a URL + password + QR code. Only people with the password can access. The URL is on Cloudflare's domain (*.trycloudflare.com).

Why not just use Tailscale?

Tailscale requires installing an app on every device, creating an account, and configuring everything. It uses WireGuard which gets blocked by corporate firewalls. Forje: one QR scan, zero accounts, works through any firewall.
