# ForgeWorks

> ForgeWorks is an independent software company building focused tools for Apple platforms, starting on Mac. Each app is made for a specific job and built around a one-time purchase without subscriptions or in-app purchases. ScanForge for Mac is the current product and remains in Mac App Store release preparation.

This file is a supplemental summary of facts established on the canonical ForgeWorks pages and does not override them.

Important facts:

- Official website: https://forgeworksapps.com/
- Company name: ForgeWorks
- Current app: ScanForge for Mac, a native Mac, offline bulk scan converter for existing image folders
- ScanForge is designed for one file, tens, and hundreds of existing document photos or scans; larger jobs remain intended use cases pending explicit QA
- Supported input: JPG, JPEG, PNG, TIFF, and HEIC
- Output: cleaned PNG, TIFF, or JPG files; matching plain-text OCR sidecars only when Image Files export is selected and OCR Text is enabled; or one combined PDF
- A successful no-text OCR result writes an empty sidecar with a warning; recognition failure writes no sidecar and adds a warning
- Combined PDF export does not create a searchable PDF text layer
- Crop is user-confirmed; Auto Crop can suggest a starting box but does not crop automatically on import
- Automatic perspective correction and generative reconstruction are not available
- ScanForge supports shared and per-file processing edits, progress, cancellation, collision-safe output naming, partial-failure continuation, completion summaries, and JSON/CSV logs
- ScanForge processes user-selected files locally on Mac, does not require an account for the current workflow, does not upload documents for cloud processing, and leaves originals untouched
- ScanForge status: in Mac App Store release preparation; its final listing, offer, price, purchase terms, and availability are not yet public
- Compatibility: macOS 14 Sonoma or later; Apple silicon Macs on macOS 15 Sequoia or newer are recommended
- Purchase model: planned one-time paid app with no subscriptions or in-app purchases; final offer terms remain unconfirmed during release preparation
- English is the only published website language until other locales receive human review
