Everything connects

Link entries across your world and they stay linked. Relations and backlinks survive renames, so the cast, the map and the quests never drift apart.

  • Link any entry to any other — NPCs, zones, quests, items
  • Automatic backlinks show what references each entry
  • Rename-safe: links follow the entry, not the text

And there's more

Everything else you get

The day-to-day tools that keep a one-person studio — or a small team — moving fast.

Find anything, fast

Universal search and a ⌘K command palette jump straight to any page, task or entry.

Quick Add from anywhere

Create tasks, milestones, wiki pages and game content without leaving the page you're on.

Track studio costs

Keep software, assets, contractors and hosting tied to the project they belong to — with receipts and yearly totals.

One-glance Overview

Milestones, recent work, activity, storage and content totals on a single project dashboard.

Start from your genre

RPG, FPS, RTS, visual novel, platformer and more — each preset sets up fitting modules and collections.

Reuse your structure

Save a project's modules, fields and navigation as a private preset and apply it to the next one.

Media library & storage

Upload once, reuse images across NPCs and zones, and see your storage usage at a glance.

Your data stays yours

Export items, NPCs, world zones and story as CSV or JSON whenever you want it.

Every project in one place

Switch between projects, each with its own logo and content, all from one sidebar.

Why I built ForgeBoard

Generic project tools don't speak game development. Spreadsheets drown your lore, and wikis lose your roadmap. I'm a solo dev, and I built ForgeBoard to run my own game, The Lost Heir — one board for the roadmap, the world, the items and the story. It worked so well I'm opening it up, in beta, for other game devs like you.
