Forge (Norvia Labs)

About

Forge unifies what terminal-agent users normally stitch together — an AI agent, a Vim-style editor, a file explorer, and a shell — into one Rust-based TUI workspace. Its security model replaces the usual approve-every-command dance with OS-level confinement: commands run inside Seatbelt or bubblewrap with writes restricted to the workspace, network egress flows through a filtering proxy with an empty default allow-list, and the program refuses to start rather than run unsandboxed. Sessions journal durably to SQLite for crash-resilient resume, tools cover files, patches, Git, search, and web, and MCP servers extend capability with prompting. A forge bench headless mode supports automation and benchmarking. It remains alpha software with a small user base.
