Cosplay Forge was born out of a frustration every crafter knows too well — the con crunch. Lost inspiration pictures, forgotten tutorial links, blown budgets, and build steps scattered across a dozen different notes apps. Sound familiar? Built by a fellow cosplayer, Cosplay Forge was designed from the inside out. Not by someone guessing what the community needs, but by someone who has lived it — and who wanted something better for all of us. Whether you're a competitor keeping a detailed logbook, a hobbyist working on your first build, or a full-time maker juggling multiple projects at once, Cosplay Forge gives you one place to track it all. Costs, hours, materials, deadlines, inspiration — organized the way a crafter actually thinks. FEATURES: Quest-style build tracking with progress bars Budget tracker with Materials & Supplies Task lists with categories and steps Con/Event and craft day calendar Time tracking with hours and minutes Reference links and inspiration notes Cloud sync across all your devices Secure sign in with email or Google Developed with input from cosplayers across different styles and skill levels, Cosplay Forge isn't built for one type of maker. It's built for the whole community. Because you have enough to worry about before con day. Your build tracker shouldn't be one of them.
