Privacy & Data
Overview
ForgeKit does not collect, store, or transmit any of your data.
Your code, your projects, and your environment stay entirely on your machine, where they belong.
No telemetry
ForgeKit does not track anything:
- No usage analytics
- No behavior tracking
- No background data collection
- No hidden network requests
What you do with ForgeKit is never monitored or recorded.
No accounts
ForgeKit does not require:
- Registration
- Login
- User profiles
There is nothing to sign up for and nothing to manage. You download it and use it.
Fully local
Everything runs locally on your machine:
- Your projects
- Your configurations
- Your databases
- Your servers
There is no cloud sync, no remote storage, and no external dependency.
Works offline
ForgeKit works completely offline.
Once installed, it does not require an internet connection to run your development environment.
No automatic network activity
ForgeKit does not make automatic network requests.
It will only access the internet when you explicitly ask it to:
- Downloading binaries
- Checking for updates (via the update button)
There are no background update checks and no silent connections.
If you don't click anything, nothing happens.
What ForgeKit connects to (when you ask it to)
When you trigger certain actions, ForgeKit may connect to:
- Official binary sources (to download PHP, Apache, MySQL, etc.)\
- ForgeKit update endpoint (only when manually checking for updates)
That's it. No other communication happens.
Philosophy
ForgeKit is built on a simple idea:
It's your machine.
No accounts. No tracking. No hidden behavior.
Just a tool that runs locally and does exactly what you tell it to.
