LocalForge — Unlimited boilerplate automation, zero vendor quotas.

The Problem

Developers are trapped in a cycle where their productivity is throttled by cloud vendor rate limits and volatile pricing tiers. Tools like Antigravity and Copilot manufacture artificial scarcity—forcing you to pay more just to maintain the same velocity. When your workflow depends on a service that treats you as a revenue stream, not a partner, you're exposed to constant friction and cost surprises.

What We're Building

LocalForge runs entirely on your machine, generating boilerplate and architectural patterns with unlimited tokens—no quotas, no rate limits, no vendor dependency. We bundle offline LLM inference (LLaMA.cpp), pre-built templates for React/Django/Node/Terraform, and a visual architecture builder. Optional cloud sync for team collaboration, but the core engine is yours to control.

Who It's For

Backend engineers, indie hackers, and mid-size teams (5–50 devs) in SaaS/fintech/startups who value control over convenience and reject cloud-only tooling.

Key Features (Planned)

  • Offline LLM inference—no API calls, no rate limits, unlimited tokens
  • Pre-built templates for React, Django, Node, Terraform, and CloudFormation
  • Visual architecture builder with instant boilerplate output
  • Optional team sync and version control (stay local-first by default)
  • Transparent fixed pricing—no surprise tiers or quota surprises

We're validating this idea before writing a single line of code. If this resonates with you, we'd love your feedback:

How much does token throughput / rate limiting actually slow down your dev workflow right now? And would you pay $15–20/mo for unlimited local automation you fully control?
