v1.7.0 — Cards, Tokens & Rubber Stamps

CoinForge Studio grows beyond coins — one engine, four kinds of blanks.

New

• Cards & tags — credit-card (CR80), business-card, dog-tag and key-fob blanks with corner radius, contact quick-adds, align-to-blank tools and a new Frame border element
• Shaped tokens — hexagon, octagon, oval, shield, heart and dog-bone metal blanks
• Rubber stamps — design readable, export flips & inverts automatically for a correct raised die (round dies support ring presets and arc text)
• QR codes — generated fully offline (URL, phone, vCard), scannable straight off the engraving
• Templates — new Cards, Tokens and Stamps categories (contact card, QR business card, pet tags, round company seal, RECEIVED and more)
• AI Assistant — new new_card, new_token and new_stamp tools; the design guide now covers every substrate

Fidelity promise

Every existing coin design renders pixel-identical to v1.6 — verified against frozen render baselines at every stage of this release.

CoinForge Studio 1.6.0 — AI is now free

The AI Assistant is free for everyone, and plans get simpler.

Try it free: app.coinforgestudio.com

What changed

• The AI Assistant (MCP) is now free — no account, no linking. Open Tools -> AI Assistant (MCP), click Start, point Claude (Desktop or Code) at it, and design coins by conversation. It runs privately on 127.0.0.1; nothing leaves your machine.
• Simpler plans. Free now includes 1 cloud project that follows your account (plus unlimited local saves and the AI). Pro (/yr, ** first year**) unlocks 10 cloud slots and the growing template & asset vault — that's it.
• Lapsing a plan never deletes your work: cloud projects go read-only, always openable and exportable.

Downloads

• CoinForgeStudio-Portable.exe - no install, no account, fully offline.
• CoinForgeStudio-Setup.exe - installer with shortcuts.

Windows SmartScreen: unsigned exe - More info -> Run anyway on first launch.

The designer, every export, and the AI are free, in full, forever.

CoinForge Studio 1.5.1 — security hardening

Security hardening for the AI Assistant and the hosted app. Recommended update if you use the AI Assistant.

Hardening

• AI Assistant server: rejects non-loopback Host headers (blocks DNS-rebinding), compares its access token in constant time, and re-validates the export path so a design name can never write outside the exports folder.
• Hosted app & site: added standard security response headers (X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, Referrer-Policy, HSTS, Permissions-Policy).
• Account links: desktop-link records now self-expire so nothing lingers server-side.

No functional changes — same designer, same tools. See v1.5.0 notes for the AI Assistant itself.

Downloads

• CoinForgeStudio-Portable.exe - no install, no account, fully offline.
• CoinForgeStudio-Setup.exe - installer with shortcuts.

Windows SmartScreen: unsigned exe - More info -> Run anyway on first launch.

CoinForge Studio 1.5.0 — AI Assistant

Design coins by talking to your own AI.

Try the designer free: app.coinforgestudio.com

New: AI Assistant (MCP) — a Pro feature, desktop app

Hand a set of controls to Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or any MCP-compatible client, and it designs coins in your CoinForge window while you watch — placing rings, arc text and symbols, checking its own rendered preview, and handing you laser-ready art.

• Sixteen tools: new coin, ring presets, full templates, add/edit/remove elements, symbol search, live preview, fit checker, save, and DPI-exact export.
• Every change hands the model a preview + fit warnings, so it fixes crowding before finishing.
• Nothing leaves your computer: the server binds to 127.0.0.1 with a per-start token and refuses web-page connections. Your AI, your machine, your data.
• Setup lives in Tools -> AI Assistant (MCP) and the built-in guide (press F1 -> AI Assistant).

Downloads

• CoinForgeStudio-Portable.exe - no install, no account, fully offline.
• CoinForgeStudio-Setup.exe - installer with shortcuts.

Windows SmartScreen note: the exe is unsigned, so first launch may warn - click More info -> Run anyway.

The designer itself remains free, in full, forever - on the web and on the desktop. The AI Assistant is part of Pro.

CoinForge Studio 1.4.0

Projects that behave like they matter, and a plan that pays for the cloud.

Try it without downloading anything: app.coinforgestudio.com

What's new

• Local saves rebuilt on IndexedDB — photo-heavy projects no longer hit the old ~5MB browser-storage ceiling, existing projects migrate automatically, and a failed save now tells you instead of pretending it worked.
• Cloud slots (Pro) — 10 numbered slots that follow your account to any device you sign in on. \File → ☁ Save to cloud\ or Ctrl+Shift+S. If your plan ever lapses, slots become read-only — nothing is ever deleted.
• One simple plan — the designer stays free, in full, forever. Pro adds the cloud, the growing template vault, and the upcoming AI assistant (MCP) add-on. Early-bird launch pricing for the first year.
• The little things — a proper thank-you after checkout, plans & storage answers in the built-in FAQ (F1), and privacy/terms/contact pages on the site.
