Yes. The desktop app runs entirely on your machine and your code never leaves it. Cloud features (sync, hosted MCP, voice, workspaces, licensing) are opt-in and only active once you create an account.
Which agents does it support?
Any CLI agent — Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Gemini CLI, Aider, Cursor, or a custom shell agent. You bring your own CLIs and API keys.
Do I need an account?
No — the local core is free and works without one. An account only unlocks cloud features.
What does it cost?
The core is free. Paid plans (Basic / Pro / Ultra / Team) add cloud features — see Teams, accounts & billing.
Does it send telemetry?
The app sends anonymous usage & diagnostic telemetry and validates your license with our servers. It never sends your code or secrets. See Security & privacy.
Can multiple agents work on one repo at once?
Yes — each runs in its own git worktree, and ForgeSwarm coordinates many on disjoint scopes with gated merges.
