What is Localforge?
Meet Localforge, the intelligent coding assistant that doesn’t live in the cloud, doesn’t phone home, and doesn’t make you wait for API responses.
Your New AI Pair Programmer — Now Running Locally
It runs entirely on your machine, right inside a sleek local web UI, and works alongside you, autonomously editing files, generating features, fixing bugs, and even writing tests, all without leaving your laptop.
No latency. No privacy concerns. No surprise bills. It is made by devs who hate boilerplate, love privacy, and believe AI should work for us, not the other way around.
Just pure, powerful AI coding, where it should be: on your side, under your control.
npm install -g @rockbite/localforge
localforge
That’s it. Open your browser, connect to localhost:3003, and boom, your new AI teammate is ready.
Think of Localforge as GitHub Copilot on steroids, but instead of just suggesting lines, it takes action. Tell it “Add a login form with validation,” and it will create the component, wire up the logic, add error states, and even update your routes, all while you sip your coffee.
And because it runs locally:
- Your code never leaves your machine
- You don’t need an internet connection
- It respects your environment, file structure, and tech stack

We built it because we were tired of AI tools that feel like black boxes.
Localforge is transparent, traceable, and trustworthy, every change is previewed, editable, and reversible.
Plus, it supports model swapping via Ollama, so you can use Mistral, Llama 3, or your favorite local LLM, no vendor lock-in.
This isn’t just another copilot.
