Software forged for South African communities.

ForgeDev is the studio. CommunityOS is the app: one bright point that keeps your neighborhood safe, connected, and trading, in real time.

Install CommunityOS

Built for estates and neighborhoods across Somerset West and Strand. Open it, add it to your home screen — no app store needed.

One app. One sky. One community.

CommunityOS replaces the WhatsApp groups, notice boards, and word of mouth your neighborhood juggles today, with one real-time home. Every feature is a star in the same constellation.

Safety Hub

Geo-located alerts and emergency contacts. When something happens, the whole street knows — instantly.

Marketplace

Buy, sell, give, borrow, or rent with your neighbors, not strangers.

Directory & Bookings

Find vetted local providers and book them, with status you can watch as it happens.

Issue reporting

Report a pothole, outage, or leak and watch it get fixed, not lost in a call center.

AI Assistant

Ask anything about your community. The answer is one message away.

Notice board & events

What's happening in your neighborhood, in one place, not scattered across feeds.
