Download PhoneForge

Pick your operating system. Each download is a double-click app — installs dependencies on first run, starts the server, and opens the dashboard in your browser (localhost:8742/d).

🧭 New here? Understand localhost first

phoneforge.net = sign up & download (any device). localhost:8742/d = your real dashboard on the USB computer only. “Localhost” means “this computer” — it won’t work if you type it on your phone or a different PC.
