The catalog
Everything below is real — these are the tools running in my own world and on the shelves in the app, where every one has a full clickable preview before you add it. Some ship already installed, some you pull from the catalog by asking, and the rest got built by talking. So can yours.
The everyday stuff, finally in one place that remembers.
One list everything else feeds. Say "add a task" in the parking lot; it's waiting at the top when you sit down.
✓ ships installedTalk into your phone, snap a photo, drop a half-thought at midnight. Next time you open Forge, one sweep files every piece where it belongs — while you watch.
✓ ships installedSee exactly where the household money stands, month to month: what you planned, right next to what actually landed — "can my job pay my bills," answered on one page.

Solo practitioners run whole practices out of this thing. The tools marked Personal · Professional come in two versions — the Professional build is part of the Heavy Machinery shelf.
What you planned to make, right next to what actually landed, plus a friendly heads-up when the two drift. Works for a business or a household.

The whole point
Don't see your thing? Describe it.
The shelves are just the head start. Anything shaped like "keep track of this for me and tell me what matters" is about twenty minutes of talking away.
My favorite so far: someone snapped a photo of the whiteboard where they'd planned out a project, said "make this a real tracker," and it was one. The whiteboard got erased. The tracker still runs.
And that's not hypothetical — the real session on the home page is exactly this, start to finish.
