About

CmdForge

Read full description

CmdForge is a command and snippet organizer for personal use. Save commands and text snippets you use often, organize them into groups, and copy them with one tap. Search finds a saved command quickly. Everything is stored locally on your device. There are no accounts, no ads, and no analytics. An optional feature lets you sync your commands to a Google Sheet. This requires your own Google Cloud service account credentials, which you create and manage yourself. CmdForge does not run its own servers and does not see your data.
