Desktop app for Claude Code agent teams

Your own AI software team. No coding required.

Describe what you want to build in one sentence. Forgecrew suggests a crew, the lead splits the work into tasks, and you follow everything in a chat.

Windows 10 and 11 · Needs Claude Code and a Claude account · English and Hungarian

How a job runs

From one sentence to a working project

Step 1

Describe it

Tell Forgecrew what you want in plain words. The team asks about details when it needs to.

A landing page for my bakery A simple online shop for handmade goods A browser skill game A program that sorts my photos by date
Step 2

Approve the crew

The wizard suggests 2–5 teammates for the job, or you start from a template. Remove anyone and add any role you like.

Step 3

Watch it get built

The lead turns your goal into tasks and starts the teammates. You see who works on what and how much is left, and you step in only when they ask.

The crew · 11 roles

Specialists, one click away

Every teammate is a Claude Code agent with its own job. Forgecrew writes them into your project as crew-*.md files, so they keep their roles every time the team starts.

Planner

crew-planner.md

Thinks through the structure and breaks the work into small, assignable steps.

Frontend developer

crew-frontend.md

Builds the user interface: pages, buttons, forms, menus.

Backend developer

crew-backend.md

Builds what runs behind the scenes: server, data storage, sign-in.

Developer

crew-developer.md

General developer: writes new features and fixes bugs anywhere in the code.

Designer

crew-designer.md

Colors, fonts and layout, so it looks good and is easy to use.

Tester

crew-tester.md

Tries what the others build, writes tests and reports bugs.

Copywriter

crew-writer.md

Texts, descriptions, product pages and help, clearly written.

Game developer

crew-gamedev.md

Gameplay, rules, levels and the game logic.

Automation engineer

crew-automation.md

Scripts, data processing, spreadsheets, automating repetitive work.

Code reviewer

crew-reviewer.md

Reviews the code, looks for bugs and risks, and makes suggestions.

Documentation writer

crew-docs.md

README, user guide, setup instructions.

Two views

Simple when you want it, every detail when you need it

One click in the title bar switches views. The team stays the same, only what you see changes.

Simple view

For everyone who cares about the result.

  • Chat with the lead
  • Progress and time left
  • Who is working on what
  • Questions and permissions as buttons
  • Message a single teammate through the lead

Advanced view

When you want to see what happens under the hood.

  • The lead's real Claude Code terminal
  • Full activity log with filters
  • Task IDs and dependencies
  • Model and system prompt for each teammate
  • Overview of every Claude Code session on your computer

Privacy and safety

Your computer, your account, your rules

Site rules
  • Your account stays yours

    You sign in on Claude's official page. Forgecrew never sees your password and stores no account details, only whether someone is signed in.

  • Everything runs on your computer

    The app's internal server listens on 127.0.0.1 only. There are no Forgecrew servers and no tracking. The work runs through Claude Code on your own Claude plan.

  • Reads a lot, writes little

    To show progress it reads Claude Code's session files. In your project it writes only the team's crew-*.md files, and it touches Claude Code's settings only if you turn on precise tracking, after making a backup.

  • You decide what runs

    Recommended: teammates edit files freely but ask before running a command. You can also make them ask about everything.

  • Clean install and uninstall

    A per-user install with no admin rights. Uninstalling removes the app, its shortcuts and its Windows entry, and keeps your projects.

Questions

What people ask first

What do I pay for?

The team works through Claude Code on your own Claude plan, so its work counts toward that plan's usage. In economy mode the teammates use the faster, cheaper Sonnet model.

Do I need to know how to code?

No. Describe what you want in plain words. The team asks when something is unclear, and the advanced view is there when you want the details.

Can I stop the team?

Yes. Stop interrupts the lead at once, and a stopped project continues where it left off when you open it again.

Does it work on macOS?

The app runs on macOS from source (npm start). The installer is Windows-only for now.

Which languages does it speak?

The app and the team work in English or Hungarian. You can switch in Settings at any time.

Is Forgecrew made by Anthropic?

No. Forgecrew is an independent project built on top of Claude Code.
