Why Local Forge

Built on principles, not promises.

Privacy First

All processing happens on your hardware. No API calls, no cloud uploads, no telemetry. Your data never leaves your machine.

Open Source

Full source code on GitHub. Read every line, audit the logic, fork it, extend it. Trust through transparency.

Minimalist Design

Clean architecture, focused purpose, no bloat. Each agent does one thing extraordinarily well.

Runs Anywhere

macOS, Linux, Windows. Works on modest hardware. No GPU? No problem — Mini Agent runs on CPU alone.

Developer-First

CLI-native. Scriptable. Composable with Unix tools. Built by developers, for developers.

Free Forever

The core agents will always be free. No subscriptions, no rate limits, no usage caps. Your machine, your rules.
