Why OpenForge?

We built OpenForge because existing tools were too slow, too complex, or too limiting. Our goal: give developers a tool that gets out of their way and lets them focus on building.

  • 10x faster than traditional bundlers
  • No lock-in — standard configurations
  • Actively maintained by 200+ contributors
  • MIT licensed — use it anywhere
