What's new in 1.0.1

  • The real logo. ReelForge's own anvil and name, sharp in Windows Terminal. The app icon is the anvil.
  • Charts that read right at any window size. Bars always keep a gap, narrow windows combine hours, every ▼ says which video went up, and no number gets cut off.
  • A tidier window. Just the anvil in the top-left. The notifications bell sits at the top right, and its drawer slides in from there.
  • Setup keeps its box whole while it downloads, with each install on its own line.
  • Publish: every button can be reached in a narrower window.
  • Fixes: a test copy of ReelForge can no longer take over your hourly stats job, updates work in a git clone after onboarding, and onboarding records its date.

Already have ReelForge? Open Updates (reelforge 6) and click Update and restart.

Your AI makes the videos. You post them. ReelForge turns Claude Code (or Codex) into a studio for a faceless
short-form channel: a short interview sets it up for your channel, then your AI scripts, builds, renders and checks
every video in Blender and puts it in ReelForge's Publish tab, where you post it by hand. Nothing is ever posted
for you.

Download

Your computer Download Then
Windows 10 / 11 ReelForge-…-Windows-Setup.exe Run it (if Windows says "Windows protected your PC", click More info, then Run anyway: the installer isn't code-signed). It installs into your user folder, adds the reelforge command and a desktop icon, and starts setup.
Windows, no installer ReelForge-…-Windows.zip Unzip it to a short path (e.g. C:\Users\you\ReelForge) and double-click setup.bat.
macOS (experimental) ReelForge-…-macOS.zip Unzip it, right-click Set up ReelForge.command, choose Open. Needs Python 3.11+ and ffmpeg (brew install python@3.13 ffmpeg).
Linux (experimental) ReelForge-…-Linux.tar.gz Extract it and run ./setup.sh. Needs Python 3.11+ and ffmpeg.
Developers Source code (zip / tar.gz) Same files; run setup.bat or ./setup.sh.

Setup shows what ReelForge still needs (Blender 4.5 LTS, ffmpeg on Windows, the sound effects, the reelforge
command), sets it all up inside the ReelForge folder once you say yes, then starts the onboarding interview.
You'll need Claude Code (a paid Claude plan or an API account) or Codex, a recent NVIDIA or AMD graphics card, and
about 15 GB of free disk space. SHA256SUMS.txt lists every download's checksum.

Then

  1. Open the ReelForge folder in Claude Code (the Claude desktop app's Code tab, then Open folder…), or run
    codex in it.
  2. Say "make my first video" (with Claude's ultracode: "ultracode: make my first video").
  3. Type reelforge 4 in a terminal (or double-click the ReelForge icon and go to Publish, tab 4) to post it.

Already have ReelForge? Its Updates tab (reelforge 6) installs this version in one click.
