What's included: the full ShopForge 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

  • Inventory items — name, SKU, quantity, price, and low-stock threshold, with create, edit, and delete. SKUs are unique (case-insensitive).
  • Sales recording — pick an item, enter a quantity, and the sale deducts stock immediately and is kept in a sales log (date, item, SKU, quantity, unit price, total). Overselling is refused.
  • Low-stock alerts view — items at or below their threshold, boundary included.
  • Totals — item count, inventory value, sales count, sales total, and low-stock count at a glance.
  • Sample data, clearly labeled — "Load sample data" adds three items with a SAMPLE badge plus a banner; "Remove sample data" deletes them in one click. Sample data is never loaded automatically.
  • Everything runs on your computer. Shop data lives in a local JSON file; nothing is uploaded anywhere; there are no accounts and no sync servers.

⚠️ Scope notes — read before you buy

  • No backup, sync, or export of the local data file in v1. Keep your own copy if the data matters.
  • No barcode scanning, multi-user access, tax handling, or receipt printing.
  • No cloud sync, no collaboration, no accounts. ShopForge is single-player by design.
  • 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.
