Not on the list?
Need a tool that doesn't exist yet?
Tell me the problem. If a Forge product is close, I'll adapt it. If not, I'll build a new one for you.
02/Custom work
Your version of the tool.
Off-the-shelf software makes you fit around it. A custom build starts from a working product and changes what matters to you.
I adapt the product
I build your changes on top of the working app and show you progress along the way, so there are no surprises at the end.
You get your own build
You receive a version made for your team, ready to install, with your name on it rather than mine.
What a custom version can include
Examples. Ask if you have something else in mind.
Your branding
Your company name, logo and colours throughout the app and its installer.
Extra checks
Rules for your own environment: the programs you allow, the folders you watch, the limits you set.
Reports
Exports and summaries in the format your team or your auditors already use.
Integrations
Connect the app to the tools you already run, such as your ticketing system, chat or internal services.

03/Why Forge Studio
One developer. Real software.
Forge Studio is my independent studio. I design, build and support every product myself. [ONE OR TWO SENTENCES ABOUT YOU: background, where you're based]
Real, working software
You start from an app that already runs on real machines, not from slides or a mock-up. You can see what it does before anything is changed.
You own your custom build
Your version is built for your team and belongs to you. [YOUR TERMS: e.g. what's included, source code or not]
Direct contact with the developer
No account managers or support queues. You talk to the person who writes the code.
