ForgeFlow puts your Laravel Forge infrastructure in your pocket. Built natively for iPhone, ForgeFlow connects to your Laravel Forge account so you can keep an eye on every server and site, trigger a deploy from a meeting room, or fix a broken .env on the train — without opening a laptop. It is fast, focused, and designed for developers who already know Forge inside out. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Browse every server in your account with live CPU, memory, and disk readings • Drill into any site to inspect its repository, branch, deploy status, and logs • Trigger deployments and follow the output line by line as it streams • Watch active deploys on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island via Live Activities • See deploy status at a glance from your Home Screen with native widgets • Edit your .env file with syntax highlighting and save it straight back to the server • Read and tweak the Nginx config for any site • Issue, renew, and activate Let's Encrypt SSL certificates • Run site commands and review their output and exit codes • Browse full deploy history with author, commit, duration, and status • Manage workers, scheduled jobs, redirects, webhooks, daemons, and firewall rules • Inspect the activity feed across every server and site • Lock the app behind Face ID or Touch ID so your token stays yours BUILT FOR YOUR WORKFLOW ForgeFlow is dark, quiet, and gets out of your way. No tracking, no analytics, no third-party SDKs. Your Forge API token is stored in the iOS Keychain and only ever leaves the device when talking to Forge itself. GET STARTED You will need an active Laravel Forge account. Generate a personal API token at forge.laravel.com under API in your account settings, paste it into ForgeFlow, and you are ready to ship.
