CrowForge
AI workspace for creative teams
Chat, Documents, Sheets, Canvas, Agent & Project Management — all in one app. Local-first. Privacy by design. Your data stays yours.
The Problem We Solve
Creative teams juggle 5+ tools. Every AI tool wants full PC access. Context between sessions is lost. CrowForge puts the workspace, the files, and the agent in one place — locally.
The Privacy Gap — 5 tools, 5 invasive permissions
Every modern AI tool asks for deep access into your work. Here's what that looks like today.
Agent Crowner
Every forge needs a keeper. Agent Crowner is a sharp-eyed crow who's been watching over workshops since the first line of code was written. With round spectacles, a worn leather jacket, and an endless appetite for problem-solving — he doesn't just assist, he reasons.
Under the hood, Crowner runs a ReAct reasoning loop — he thinks, picks a tool, executes it, observes the result, and repeats. Up to 6 iterations deep, 30 seconds per tool call, all streamed live so you can watch him work through the problem in real time.
Point him at a directory and he'll read, edit, and create files on your behalf. Feed him a knowledge base through RAG and he'll reference your docs before answering. He works with every module in CrowForge — drafting documents, filling spreadsheets, managing tasks — whatever the job requires.
With the built-in Model Gallery, you choose who powers him — download Gemma 4, Qwen 3.5, or Coder Next and run everything locally. No API keys needed.

Everything You Need, Locally
AI Chat & Agent
Streaming conversations plus a ReAct agent with tool use and RAG. OpenAI, Gemini, or local GGUF — your call.
Documents & Sheets
Rich text editor and spreadsheets with formulas and AI Fill — complete your data intelligently.
Canvas
Node-based visual canvas with 8 AI node types. Build execution chains that auto-trigger downstream processing.
Project Management
Full Scrum workflow: Kanban, backlog, sprints, roadmap, and issue tracker in one place.
Model Gallery
Browse, download, and manage local GGUF models. Swap between cloud and local on demand.
AI is optional
Every module works offline without AI. Connect a provider when you're ready — not before.
CrowSync
File versioning & binary locking for creative teams. Self-hosted or cloud. Works where Git breaks — 3D assets, video, project files.
Image Forge
Batch image generation with parameter control. Local models, no per-generation fees, no uploads. Your prompts stay yours.
Team & User Management
User authentication, roles, and team admin panel. Invite members, manage permissions, and keep control of who accesses what — self-hosted or cloud.

Who It's For
Indie Game Studios
From first prototype to final build. Game docs, task boards, asset notes, version-controlled binaries, AI brainstorming — one local workspace.
VFX & Post-production
Boutique studios and solo artists. Shot lists, review notes, renders, asset versioning. Private by default — client work never leaves your machine.
Ad Agencies & In-house Content
Brands making content in-house. Scripts, storyboards, shot planning, AI-assisted copy — without leaking campaign assets to cloud vendors.
AI-Native Creators
1–3 person teams with AI agents. Unified workspace where humans and agents share the same local context — across docs, sheets, canvas, and code.
Where It's Going
The person behind the forge
Two decades of wrestling with dozens of tools on every VFX shot and every game project. That's why CrowForge exists.
◆ Founder · CEO · Primary Builder
Ľubomír Timko
Founder of CrowForge. CEO & co-founder of Rembrosoft. VFX Supervisor, CG Lead, Director.
A VFX supervisor and game developer who spent two decades living the problem: 50+ shipped projects, a rotating cast of 30+ tools, and endless context-switching between production pipelines. CrowForge is the workspace he always wanted.
The VFX journey
Trained at VŠMU Bratislava (BA & MA in Visual Effects). Spent five years leading the 3D department at Blue Faces, establishing their VFX outsourcing capability.
Compositing, matte painting, matchmoving, rotoscoping — across feature films, commercials, and music videos. Freelanced for Studio 727, archiMedes, Grip Games, Tox Production.
The software journey
Co-founded Rembrosoft in 2014 — an indie studio building games, outsourcing apps, and tooling for creative teams. Shipped Colonize (teaser directed in-house) and a portfolio of internal production tools.
CrowForge started in 2025 as personal frustration with the tool sprawl. Four months later it was a shipping product — built solo, AI-leveraged from day one.
A few of the 50+ shipped projects — feature films, shorts, music videos, games.
After twenty years of juggling shot trackers, production sheets, render queues, Perforce, review notes, and five different AI helpers — I built the workspace I always wanted. Local. Private. One place for everything.
