THE PROJECT
A native Mac app shaped around the rhythms of a creative studio. Identity, interface, interaction and a companion with a story of her own.

01 / THE IDEAMADE INSIDE THE STUDIO
THE NEXT FRAME.
NOT ANOTHER
HOUSEKEEPING JOB.
We wanted a calmer start
to a creative day.
Premiere Pro, After Effects and Photoshop are central to the work. Mac Forge began with a practical question: can looking after the Mac feel as considered as the work we make on it?
The result is a focused companion for reviewing creative caches, checking the Mac and understanding what happened. Clear choices. Visible progress. A little more headspace.

The daily entry point: creative caches, storage and readiness in one view.ACTUAL APP CAPTURE
THE VISUAL LANGUAGE
Midnight navy. An aurora horizon. Cyan and violet rings that bring focus to the interface. The Orbit Core icon carries FF into a new world.
THE INTERACTION
Scan, review, act. Visible progress and completion receipts make the outcome understandable. Eligible cleanup files move to Trash; that is separate from storage being freed.
THE BUILD
Native SwiftUI for macOS. A working local V1.4 build, with continued usability testing and distribution preparation ahead.

EVEN BETTER
COMPANY.
Before she was our co-pilot,
she needed someone in her corner.
Found injured in the rain outside a Go Mart in Mexico, Chi was rescued and became family. Now she has a place in the studio—and in Mac Forge.
Her astronaut persona brings warmth to a technical task: a familiar face, a little encouragement and a reminder of the people behind the product.
THE INTENTION / LOOKING AHEAD
As Mac Forge grows, we plan to dedicate a portion of proceeds to dog shelters around the world. The details are still being defined.
