ABOUT GHOST-FORGE

A SOFTWARE ASSISTANT WITH A SOULFUL, HAUNTED INTERFACE.

Ghost-Forge combines a professional assistant workflow with a horror-inspired presentation. It is designed to feel like a complete software product rather than a plain chat window: animated art, themed controls, a responsive interface, spoken responses, trial and Premium modes, and a visual Theme Designer all work together as one experience.

Automatic UI scaling, viewport-aware dialogs, themed scrollbars, flexible panels and screen-size-aware layouts keep the interface usable across desktop, mobile and large-screen environments.

Backgrounds, title bars, dialogs, menus, buttons, tooltips, progress bars, message boxes, splash screens, framed images and icon packs can all participate in a theme.
