Forge - Stay consistent, make better decisions, and actually follow through with an AI mentor that remembers you. Never repeat yourself. Forge tracks your goals, conversations, and progress so every interaction becomes more personal over time. Most AI chatbots forget everything the moment you close the app, or even mid conversation. Forge doesn't. Forge has 'Infinite Memory', it remembers your goals, conversations, relationships, and the context behind your journey—then uses that knowledge to give sharper, more personal guidance. Forge is a tool to help you and be your mentor. WHAT MAKES FORGE DIFFERENT • Infinite Memory – Forge remembers your goals, challenges, people in your life, and your conversations over time. • Goal Planning – Break down big goals into weekly and daily actions • Check-Ins – Gentle nudges at the right moments to keep you on track • Real Accountability – A mentor that knows your situation, not a generic chatbot • Available 24/7 – Talk through decisions, get advice, or just think out loud FORGE IS FOR YOU IF YOU WANT TO • Build and stick to new habits • Get unstuck on a goal or decision • Have an AI that feels like it's "on your side" • Plan your week with someone who actually knows your priorities • Track progress over months, not just one conversation UNLIKE OTHER AI APPS Forge isn't a "yes man" that agrees with everything. It challenges you when needed, remembers what you've said before, and holds you accountable—because it actually knows you. Don't worry though, Forge still cares about you and your success. PRIVACY BUILT IN • Your data isn't sold. Ever. • Your data isn't used to train other models. • Export or delete your data anytime. It's yours. • No tracking for advertisers. WHY WE BUILT FORGE I was 33 and felt completely stuck. I needed guidance—something available 24/7, non-judgmental, and actually grounded in my situation. It didn't exist. So I built it. And I realized the key ingredient missing from every other AI app: memory. Without memory, AI can't truly help you. But memory also means responsibility. This technology will get built regardless—the question is by who, and whose interests they'll serve. That's why we're building Forge with privacy, transparency, and humanity at its core. If you've tried other AI companion app and wished they had infinite memory, then you should try Forge. Forge was built for you. Enjoy your first 'Forge remembered!' moment. — Oliver, Co-founder Terms of Service: https://rememberforge.app/terms Privacy Policy: https://rememberforge.app/privacy

HOW IT WORKS • Hit record and capture your interview, meeting, or lecture • It writes everything up and labels each speaker for you • Copy or share the finished transcript wherever you need it Clean paragraphs, labelled speakers, usually ready in minutes. NOT JUST FOR INTERVIEWS Speaker labels are the headline, but it's a proper transcription app underneath. Interviews, meetings, lectures, your own voice notes. If you can record it, you can transcribe it. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Your audio is deleted the moment your transcript is ready. We don't keep your recordings. NO SUBSCRIPTION Start with 20 minutes free, no card needed. After that you buy minutes only when you need them, and they never expire. No monthly fee.
