📖 What is VibeForge?
VibeForge is a powerful desktop application that revolutionizes how you manage projects, visualize code architecture, and orchestrate AI agents. Think of it as your all-in-one command center for modern software development.
Whether you're building a React app, crafting a Next.js site, or architecting the next big thing, VibeForge combines AI-powered execution pipelines, codebase intelligence, and autonomous agents into one seamless experience.
🎯 Why VibeForge?
- AI That Actually Works: Watch agents write code, fix bugs, and update docs while you focus on architecture
- See Your Code in Action: Knowledge Base graphs show component relationships, dependencies, and connections
- Plan, Run, Verify: Pipeline-driven workflow takes tasks from idea to shipped code with AI at every step
- Five Powerful Views: Pipeline, Forge Console, Knowledge Base, History, and Agent Builder
- Independent Agent Window: Run AI agents on any codebase without opening it as a workspace
- Two-Way Communication: Agents can request exactly what they need instead of receiving all context upfront

💿 Installation
Download & Install
Download VibeForge
Download the installer for your operating system from the download section above.
- macOS:
.dmgfile — drag VibeForge to your Applications folder - Windows:
.exeinstaller — follow the setup wizard - Linux:
.AppImage(universal),.deb(Debian/Ubuntu), or.rpm(Fedora/RHEL) — available for both x64 and ARM64
Launch VibeForge
Open VibeForge from your Applications folder, Start Menu, or application launcher.
Configure Your AI Provider
Go to Settings → AI Providers and add at least one LLM provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, etc.) or connect to a locally running model via Ollama or LM Studio.
🚀 Quick Start Guide
Your First Project
Launch VibeForge
Open VibeForge from your Applications folder, Start Menu, or application launcher.
Choose Your Path
- Open Existing Workspace: Browse to a project folder
- Create New Application: Scaffold from templates (React, Next.js, Domo, etc.)
Create Your First Task
In the Execution Pipeline, use the Command Bar to describe what you want to build.
AI breaks it down into actionable tasks with priorities and dependencies.
Unleash AI Power
- Choose an execution mode: Safe (preview), Normal (with review), or Autopilot
- Watch the agent plan, implement, and verify your task in real-time
- Review code changes, diffs, and logs in the Task Details drawer
- Use the Forge Console for conversational coding sessions
Execution Workflow
- Plan — Describe your task and let AI create a spec and execution plan
- Run — Assign an agent, select execution mode, and start
- Verify — Review code changes, run lint checks, and approve
🏛️ How It Works
Your Workspace
When you open a project in VibeForge, it creates a .vibeforge/ folder in your workspace to store configuration, task data, agent settings, and execution history. Everything stays local to your project.
AI Agents
- Connect your preferred LLM providers
- Choose from 8 built-in agent templates
- Build custom agents visually
- Multi-agent orchestration
- Full execution logging
Secure by Design
- API credentials encrypted locally
- No data sent to third parties
- You control your LLM provider
- Works with local models (Ollama)
- All processing happens on your machine
Automatic Updates
- Built-in update system
- One-click install for new versions
- Configurable update preferences
- 10 color themes included
- Full light and dark mode support

🔧 Troubleshooting
Common Issues
Application Won't Launch
Solutions:
- Ensure your system meets the minimum requirements (macOS 10.15+, Windows 10+, or a recent Linux distribution)
- On macOS: Right-click the app and select "Open" if you see a security warning
- Try reinstalling from a fresh download
Agent Builder Shows "Offline"
Solutions:
- Check the Console panel for error logs
- Ensure port 13000 is available on your machine
- Restart via Settings → Agent Builder → Refresh
Agent Execution Fails
Solutions:
- Verify LLM credentials (Settings → AI Providers)
- Check API credits/quota
- Review Task Progress Modal for error details
- Check network connectivity
Performance Optimization
Slow Graph Rendering
- Use filters to reduce visible nodes
- Disable task nodes if not needed
- Consider splitting large monorepos
High Memory Usage
- Close unused terminal tabs
- Clear chat history periodically
- Restart Flowise server if memory grows
