Now in beta — free while we find our footing

Build apps forreal-world things.

A code on a bottle, a chip in a wristband, a tag on a pallet, a board outside a house. Forge turns any of them into a live app with its own identity, data, history and screens — described in a sentence, built in minutes.

Signs in with your SmartLinks account. Nothing new to set up.

How it works

From an idea to something people can scan

01

Describe it in plain words

Start from one of thirty ready-made ideas or your own brief. Attach a spec, a deck, a PDF, photos — anything that explains what you want.

02

An agent that already knows the platform

It doesn't go hunting through documentation. Sign-in, ownership, data, forms, messaging, loyalty, analytics and AI are already in its head, so it leads with a solution.

03

Test every view, then publish

See the customer screen, the operator setup screen and the handheld screen exactly as real people meet them. Save as you go, restore anything, publish when it's right.

One app, many places

Every way your app can show up

The same app meets a customer on their phone, an operator in the console, and a crew member out in the yard — plus a machine-readable version for search engines and AI assistants.

App panel

The app's main panel inside a SmartLinks page.

The public — someone who tapped a tag, followed a link, or is browsing Hub.

Small card

A compact tile that summarises the app with a way in.

The same public audience, browsing rather than arriving.

Full public page

The app's own full screen, not embedded in anything.

The public, a display screen, or anyone following a shared link.

Setup screen

Where the brand turns the app on and configures it.

The operator running the brand — not the public.

On-the-go screen

A handheld operator screen inside SmartLinks Sidekick.

Staff on their feet — a warehouse, a venue, a site visit, a delivery round.

Machine-readable content

What search engines and AI assistants are told about the page.

Google, and the AI assistants people now ask instead.

Ideas library

Thirty starting points, wildly different

Why building here is different

It starts with an idea, not a blank page

An illustrated library of starting points across retail, logistics, events, property, compliance and field work — each one a working brief the agent runs with.

Real context, not placeholders

Your own collections and item types are pulled in live, so what you preview is what your customers will actually see.

History without the jargon

Every change is saved automatically and anything can be restored. When you're ready, publish a clean version — to SmartLinks, or to your own repository.

What will your tag do?

Pick an idea, describe it your way, and watch the first working version appear next to the conversation.
