What's included: the full MenuForge app for Windows & Linux · one license covers 3 computers (free a slot anytime by deactivating a computer in the app) · your license key is emailed at checkout and can be regenerated from your account page if you lose it.

What it does

  • Menus with sections and items — sections (e.g. Starters, Mains, Desserts) and items (name, description, price) with create, edit, delete, and reorder for both levels.
  • Four visual templates — Classic, Modern, Elegant, and Bistro. The on-screen preview uses the exact same print markup as the export, so what you see is what prints.
  • Print and PDF export that actually works — export renders the menu's print HTML and writes a genuine PDF; Print opens the system print dialog for the same rendered menu. Neither button is a placeholder.
  • Local JSON data file — the working menu auto-saves on every change, so closing and reopening restores it. You can also Save As / Open a portable .mfmenu file (plain JSON) anywhere on disk.
  • Sample menu, clearly labeled — "Load sample menu" loads a fictional demo flagged as a sample: a SAMPLE banner shows in the editor and on every print/PDF until you edit it, at which point it becomes your own menu.
  • Everything runs on your computer. Nothing is uploaded anywhere; there are no accounts and no sync servers.

⚠️ Scope notes — read before you buy

  • No photos, logos, or images on menus; no multi-column layouts; single-column A4 print layout.
  • No currency conversion or price arithmetic — prices are text, exactly as typed, so any currency or style ("Market price") works.
  • No cloud sync, accounts, collaboration, or AI features — none are claimed.
  • The macOS installer is coming. It needs a Mac build, so v1 ships Windows and Linux only — the macOS download will appear here the moment it's published.
  • Human GUI click-through is still pending. The app's hands-on flows have not yet had a full human play-through pass. The licensing, checkout and activation paths are covered by automated tests; the in-app experience is v1 and we will say so plainly until that pass is done.

If any of the above is a deal-breaker for you, v1 isn't for you yet — and we'd rather tell you now than after checkout.

Download

Windows 10/11 (64-bit) and Linux (64-bit). macOS coming with a Mac build.

The macOS installer is being prepared and will appear here the moment it's published — your license key will work as soon as it's posted.

The installers are unsigned, so Windows SmartScreen and macOS Gatekeeper may show a warning on first launch — this is normal for a new publisher. On macOS, right-click the app and choose Open; on Windows, choose "More info → Run anyway".

One license activates on up to 3 computers, with 30-day offline trust after activation. No accounts, no telemetry, no phone-home beyond the one activation call.
