FAQ

What is ContextForge?

ContextForge is a macOS desktop app that turns YouTube transcripts into clean, AI-ready context. You paste a video link, choose a prompt, and ContextForge combines the transcript with your prompt into one block of text you can copy or export.

Does ContextForge send my data to an AI service?

No. ContextForge does not send anything to any AI service. It only gathers and formats the transcript and prompt on your computer. When you choose a destination, ContextForge simply opens that website in your browser so you can paste the output yourself.

Do I need an account?

No. ContextForge does not use accounts, and it does not require you to sign in.

Does ContextForge work with any YouTube video?

ContextForge works with videos that have an available transcript. If a video has no transcript, ContextForge will let you know that it could not be processed.

How many videos can I process at once?

You can add up to three videos in a single session.

Can I use my own prompts?

Yes. You can create, edit, and delete your own prompts, and you can also write a custom prompt on the spot without saving it.

What languages does the interface support?

The interface is available in English, Polish, and Spanish. ContextForge follows your system language automatically.

Is ContextForge available on Windows or Linux?

Not yet. ContextForge is currently a macOS app. Support for other platforms is planned for the future.

Where is my data stored?

Everything is stored locally on your computer. ContextForge keeps your prompts, your processing history, and your destination favorites in local files on your Mac. Nothing is uploaded anywhere.
