About the Forge Shop
The Forge Shop is a curated software library maintained by the Refectl engineering team. Every entry on this page has been built, tested, and deployed by us — we do not list third-party applications or affiliate downloads. This catalog is organized into five clear categories so you can find what you need by platform rather than by marketing copy.
How we select tools
A tool earns its place here only after it passes three internal gates: a performance budget audit, an accessibility audit against WCAG 2.1 AA, and a security review for data handling and dependency hygiene. Tools that link to this page are live today; categories marked Coming soon are active build tracks that have not yet cleared all three gates. We would rather leave a section empty than list software we cannot stand behind.
Web applications
Web applications run entirely in your browser. They need no installation, work on any operating system, and update silently in the background. They are the best choice for collaborative work — share a link and your whole team joins your session. forgeIDE and Strategic Whiteboard are our flagship web applications today, joined by the Premium Tool Suite for advanced analytics and secure proctoring.
Desktop applications
Desktop applications install on your computer and run offline. They integrate directly with the operating system — native file dialogs, system tray, GPU acceleration, and signed installers with automatic updates. Accounting Pro is our first Windows desktop release, designed for small businesses that need a fast, private, always-on accounting workflow without depending on a cloud connection.
Tools and utilities
Tools are single-purpose programs that solve one problem exceptionally well. Utilities are the everyday helpers — file converters, compressors, code generators — that you reach for a dozen times a day. Both run entirely in your browser, process data locally, and never ask for an account. New entries in these sections are released monthly.
Pricing and access
Most of the catalog is free to use. Premium modules carry a one-time or monthly fee that covers hosting, maintenance, and feature development. Enterprise customers can self-host any module through our commercial license. See the pricing page for the full breakdown, or contact us for a custom deployment.
