CinterForgeOS

One connected system for making, organizing, and experiencing creative work through Cards.

The product view

A creative system organized around Cards.

CinterForgeOS is the platform layer that brings CinterForge products and workspaces into a shared creative system. Cards connect creative material with its identity and context, so people can make, organize, and experience work across supported workflows.

Make and manage

Collection is the Desktop hub for managing Cards and related assets. Forge is the Card-creation workspace, while Cinter supports local AI and retrieval-augmented generation workflows.

Bring tools and sources into the work

Open Assets connects provider catalogs to in-app discovery. Open Apps are independent creative tools that can participate in specific workflows. Formats, handoffs, and retained context depend on what each workflow supports.

Take the collection with you

CinterForge Companion focuses on managing and viewing a Card collection on iPhone and iPad, including supported 2D, 3D, and AR presentations where the Card and device allow them.

CinterForgeOS is CinterForge’s creative platform, not a replacement for macOS, Windows, iOS, or another device operating system. It does not imply universal app integration or automatic file conversion.

The technology stack

From creative foundations to user experiences.

This product architecture map shows how the parts relate. It separates capabilities represented in the product today from workflow-dependent behavior and future Series.

  1. Product surfaces

    Desktop and Companion

    Desktop brings the main creative workspaces together. Companion gives Cards a focused mobile collection and viewing experience.

    Current product surfaces

  2. Workspaces

    Collection · Cinter · Forge

    Collect and manage work, use local AI and RAG workflows, and create or enrich Cards in connected workspaces.

    Capabilities vary by release

  3. Shared Card model

    Identity · Media · Metadata · Provenance

    A Card connects identity with media or a payload reference, descriptive details, and source context. Version lineage and schema guarantees remain under Product and Engineering review.

  4. Sources and workflows

    Open Assets · Open Apps · Verified handoffs

    Provider search and independent creative apps can contribute to Card workflows. Each path is specific to its app, format, and release; support is documented as it is verified.

    Workflow-specific

  5. Data and intelligence

    Local AI · RAG · Clean Data

    Cinter supports local AI and retrieval-augmented generation workflows. Clean Data describes separately curated model-training collections with source and contributor context.

    Separate data roles

This is a product-level architecture view. We’ll add implementation details such as runtime components, storage boundaries, service interfaces, and protocols as those contracts are confirmed.

Designed to grow

The platform expands by Series.

The current platform foundation is intended to support future experiences. The Game Platform and IDE are planned for Series 2. IdentiFire’s physical-card scanning and digital-twin direction is a Series 3 exploration, not a current capability.
