The Pinnacle Has Been Reached
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil.
Ephesians 6:10-11
Notification Setup
Why This Matters
For notifications to fire reliably when the app is closed, Forge needs to be installed to your home screen and Chrome needs unrestricted battery access. Follow the steps below for your device.
▶ Android (Chrome)
1
Install the app — In Chrome, tap the three-dot menu (⋮) in the top right, then tap Add to Home Screen. Confirm when prompted. Always open Forge from the home screen icon, not the browser.
2
Allow notifications — When Forge shows the notification banner, tap Enable and then tap Allow on the system prompt. If you accidentally denied it, go to Chrome Settings → Site Settings → Notifications and find the Forge URL to allow it.
3
Disable battery optimization for Chrome — Go to your phone's Settings → Apps → Chrome → Battery and set it to Unrestricted. This is the most important step. Without it Android may kill Chrome in the background and block notifications.
4
Open Forge daily — The notification schedule refreshes every time you open the app. Opening it once a day keeps everything on track even if Android temporarily killed the background process.
▶ iPhone / iPad (Safari)
1
Use Safari, not Chrome — iOS only supports PWA notifications through Safari. Open the Forge URL in Safari.
2
Add to Home Screen — Tap the Share button (the box with an arrow), then tap Add to Home Screen. This step is required — notifications do not work from the browser tab, only from the installed icon.
3
Allow notifications — Open Forge from your home screen, tap Enable on the notification banner, and allow when iOS prompts you. Requires iOS 16.4 or later.
4
Open Forge daily — Same as Android — opening the app once a day keeps the notification schedule fresh.
Welcome to Forge
Your personal growth tracker. Here is everything you need to know.
🏋️
Track Your Categories
Log Lifting, Reading, Outside time, Diet, and Screen Time daily. Tap any card on the dashboard to open that category and log a session.
⭐
Earn XP and Level Up
Every log earns XP. Maintain streaks for bonus XP. Log all 5 categories in one day for a combo bonus. Progress from Raw Iron I all the way to Knight of God across 39 levels.
🏆
Take on Challenges
Tap the star icon in the nav bar to browse 11 challenges ranging from 7 to 30 days. Complete a challenge without missing a day to earn big XP rewards. Missing a day resets your progress. More challenges including seasonal ones will be added over time.
🔔
Enable Notifications
Tap Enable on the purple banner at the top of the dashboard to turn on push notifications. Then go to Settings to choose which categories send you reminders. You will receive daily reminders and scripture throughout the day.
📊
Track Your Progress
Tap the Progress icon in the nav bar to see charts for each category over time. Select a category and timeframe to view your history. Your XP log and streaks are also shown here.
💾
Back Up Your Data
All data is stored locally on your device. Go to Settings and tap Export Backup occasionally to save a JSON file. If you ever switch devices, use Import Backup to restore everything.
One Last Thing
Forge only works if you are honest. No one sees your data but you. The numbers you log are between you and God. Log the truth and let Him be your witness.

A Word Before You Log
Level Progression
Complete all 39 levels to reach Knight of God. At perfect play — logging all categories daily and maintaining streaks — this takes approximately one year.
