Create your account

There is no separate sign-up form. Click Sign in, pick your email or a Google account, and the first sign-in creates your ForgeMuse account. That lands you on your dashboard, which is where the app download lives.

Download and install the app

ForgeMuse is a desktop app. Pick your machine below; the download page shows the version and size and starts the file right away.

Windows 10 / 11 (64-bit) v0.1.14 · 162 MB

A signed one-click installer. Run it and the app opens by itself; no extra prompts, no restart. It keeps itself up to date from then on.

Linux (AppImage) v0.1.14 · 286 MB

Mark the file executable (right-click → Properties, or chmod +x) and run it. Fedora needs the fuse2 compatibility package first: sudo dnf install fuse.

macOS in rehearsal

Not shipping yet. Leave your email on the founding list and we will tell you the moment it takes the stage.

Sign in inside the app

The first screen in ForgeMuse has one button: Sign in. It opens your normal browser on this site, you confirm the same account from step one, and the browser tab says you're signed in. Close it and the app carries on. Your dashboard now lists this computer under Connected devices.

Nothing to type in the app: no license key, no token. The browser hands the app a private sign-in that stays encrypted on your machine.

iv

Pick the engine that builds for you

The swarm's brainpower comes from a coding-agent subscription you already have, or get now. ForgeMuse asks which one on first launch, and you can run both side by side later from Settings → Engines.

Claude Code needs a Claude plan (Pro or Max) from Anthropic

Pick it and ForgeMuse installs Claude Code for you, then opens a browser window to connect your Claude account. Two clicks. Get a Claude plan.

Codex needs a ChatGPT plan (Plus or Pro) from OpenAI

Install the Codex CLI from OpenAI, run codex login once, then press Check again in ForgeMuse. Muse itself can run on Codex too, so a Codex-only setup is complete. Get Codex.

Either plan starts around €20 a month and is paid to that provider, not to us. Your prompts travel between you and them; ForgeMuse never sees your code.

v

Say your first idea

Muse greets you by voice and a short tour points out the four things on screen. Then hold the talk button (or say Hey Muse) and describe what you want in your own words. Muse asks a couple of questions back, writes the plan you can see on the board, and the builders get to work while you watch.

“Build me a booking page for my studio with a calendar and Stripe checkout.”
“A simple habit tracker for my phone, one tap per habit, weekly chart.”
“A landing page for my bakery with a menu and a contact form.”

When the first version works you see it live in Preview, and the Ship tab puts it on the internet in one click. Every line of code is yours, on your disk, exportable any time.

If something gets in the way

The browser said I'm signed in, but the app is still waiting.: Give it a second, then press Sign in again; the app listens on your own computer only, and a strict firewall or VPN can block that hand-off. Signing in twice is harmless.
“Claude Code isn't on this machine yet.”: Press Set up Claude Code and let it finish; it installs in the background. If your company laptop blocks installs, ask IT to allow the Claude Code installer, or pick Codex instead.
“There's no active Claude plan on this account.”: You connected a free Claude account. The swarm needs Pro or Max: upgrade at claude.ai, then press Check again.
Muse doesn't hear me.: Check which microphone Windows uses by default; virtual devices such as Voicemod sit silent. Pick your real mic in Settings → Voice, then hold the talk button and speak.
Windows warned about the installer.: Our installer is signed, so Windows should open it quietly. If SmartScreen shows a blue box anyway, choose More info → Run anyway, or fetch the file again from your dashboard.
Linux: the AppImage won't start.: Make it executable and, on Fedora, install fuse2 compatibility (sudo dnf install fuse). As a fallback run it with --appimage-extract-and-run.
“Your plan needs a look.”: Billing is on and this account has no active plan, or the last payment failed. Open Billing from that screen, sort it out, then press Check again.
Something else.: Write to [email protected] from the email on your account and say what you saw. A person reads it.
