Define your
business.
Ship the app.
dForge turns business definitions into production-ready apps — real database schemas, real APIs, real UI, real security. Start from a ready-made module — CRM, HR, inventory — or build your own with AI.

Built for what you're
actually trying to do.
Outgrew your tools
Monday, Zoho or HubSpot stopped fitting
- "Monday/Zoho/HubSpot almost works, but not for how we actually operate."
- You're paying for seats and features you don't use to get the one you need.
Modernize a legacy system
Aging Access, FoxPro or custom ERP
- A single developer (or none) keeps a critical system alive.
- It's 10+ years old, undocumented, and "don't touch it or it breaks."
Build your own platform
Founders & domain-specific micro-SaaS
- You're evaluating Supabase or Firebase and still facing months of app logic.
- Multi-tenancy, roles, audit, and a real API are table stakes you don't want to write.
Resolve IT needs fast
CIOs under pressure to deliver more, faster
- The business asks for more than your team can build — the queue never shrinks.
- Every new request is a buy-vs-build decision, and both answers are slow.
One business model
Simplify operations on one governed model
- You run 10–100 internal apps and a small team has to keep all of them alive.
- Every new app means another security model, another integration, another audit surface.
Backend for my storefront
Run ops behind Shopify or WooCommerce
- Fulfillment, vendor management or inventory live in fragile Google Sheets.
- Your ops manager loses hours a week to copy-paste between tools.
Run without an IT team
Small companies with no developer on staff
- Good ideas for how to run the business die in "who's going to build that?"
- The company runs on spreadsheets only one person fully understands.
Skip the IT backlog
Department managers waiting on central IT
- Every request you file with IT joins a backlog measured in quarters.
- "Just buy a SaaS" means another login, another bill, another data silo.
Deliver for clients
Consultancies & systems integrators
- Every engagement starts by rebuilding the same data model, auth, and audit.
- The bespoke code you ship becomes bespoke code you maintain forever.
of building business software is actual business logic. The other 80% is auth, permissions, CRUD, deployment, migrations, audit logs — the same plumbing rebuilt every time.
- 01Tool sprawlEvery department picks its own SaaS. Data lives in silos. The "single view" is a CSV stitched in Excel.
- 02Legacy gravityCritical processes run on aging software nobody wants to touch. Migration is risky, expensive, and never-ending.
- 03Custom dev taxBuilding from scratch means months of plumbing before you write a single line of business logic.
Define your business.
We build the rest.
Model it yourself in VS Code, or just describe it to AI. Either way, dForge turns your definition into a complete, governed system — database, screens, API, security, reports and audit. No glue code, no integration project.
Author your model as metadata right in your editor with the dForge extension. Full control, versioned in git.
Tell dForge what your business does in plain language — it drafts the model for you to review.
One running system
Live on its own secure subdomain in minutes — not a months-long build.
You describe what.
dForge handles how.
Describe your module to an AI assistant — or write JSON metadata by hand. Entities, fields, views, roles, actions — the shape of your business.
dForge runs your model directly — live database, JSON-RPC API, UI and row-level security, straight from the metadata. Generate realistic test data and exercise the whole app end-to-end — locally or on a test tenant — before any real data is involved.
Package it — dForge validates and bundles the model into one archive — then install it on any host: dForge.app, your own cloud, or on-prem. Same model, now with real data.
Change it without
breaking it.
Every change is a versioned migration you preview, test, and apply — or roll back. Build, validate, try it on staging, then ship to production. No editing live and praying — a real software lifecycle for your business apps.
- 01Build
Author or change the model in VS Code — by hand or with AI.
- 02Validate
Schema and policy checks run before anything ships.
- 03Test
Preview on a staging tenant with production-shaped data.
- 04Deploy
Versioned, reversible migrations roll out with zero downtime.

Metadata,
not code.
That changes
everything.
Other platforms ask AI to write code — brittle, hard to maintain, hard to validate. dForge asks AI to write metadata: structured business definitions the platform turns into real apps. Connect the dForge MCP server, open Claude Code, describe what you need. Reviewable. Versionable. Safe to deploy.
