A few days back, I was overwhelmed with a project I m working on It was really daunting. I found myself getting distracted and unfocused. I didn t knew what was wrong with me. But it s not that this was my first hard project. I ve been building businesses since 2 years. Failed 3 startup s. Working hard since I was 16. Wasted 14 months of god know what tasks. Here s my story A journey of a stubborn boy from $0 to $1B+ I m 19. And I m addicted to success. (even before I got it) Lately I ve been working on a Vibe-Writing app. With an ambition to revolutionising online writing forever. This Sunday while I was working on it. I found myself really overwhelmed by the amount of work I had to do. And I kept getting distracted by measly things because I was facing some issues with Vibe-coding. It was really really frustrating So I made a promise to myself. No matter how hard it gets, I will solve this Even if it s not this project, I m gonna build something else. To find solution. And after hours of trial and errors, I actually started with building another project. So that Maybe, Just maybe, I find the solution to it. So I shut my iPad. (Btw the only thing I run my whole business on is my IPad Pro 2023) And started with figuring out a big problem of mine to solve it for myself. And I here s how I started With affirming: I m a genius I m a genius I m a genius (Let s go) So I had no idea where i should start from. I was sitting with myself, and I realised one of my bottleneck problem. Which is: Not being Disciplined, no matter how motivated or driven I was. I was never consistent I was never disciplined I was never determined I was always distracted by some things which are not necessary. And I wanted to solve that really badly. So I started with ideating a productivity app on apple notes. And writing my heart out. And i Came up with one of the greatest idea I ve ever had. Even better than my main project. (Maybe) And after posting about it on Reddit. And product hunt. The replies and reviews I were crazy. The idea was The idea was FORGE. A productivity OS that doesn t care how inspired you are. It doesn t motivate. It doesn t coach. It doesn t give you a dopamine hit. It just forces you to f*ing work. You open it, and you re locked in. No escape. No distractions. No mercy. Try switching apps? Blocked. Try opening YouTube? Blocked. Try doing anything except what you said you d do? An alarm screams till you get back to work. And if you still try to cheat it? You pay. Literally. It s built to turn lazy people into machines. Not by hacks. But by discipline through design. I wasn t trying to build a product. I was trying to fix myself. And in the process, I might ve just built the billion-dollar idea I was searching for all along. FORGE is not a tool. It s a mirror. And it will expose you. But if you re brave enough to face it It might just change your life.

Discipline-as-a-Service. Lock in. Block everything else. Ship or lose points. Most productivity tools are designed to help you stay on track. FORGE was built to punish you for breaking focus. Because solo founders don t need more dashboards. They need systems that remove the option not to execute. What it does: Set a mission: write, code, pitch, design Choose your work app: Notion, Notes, Xcode FORGE locks your phone into that app Everything else is blocked Exit? Loud alarm. Try to uninstall? Blocked mid-session Break the block? You lose Success Points (your execution identity score) What makes it different: FORGE isn t nice. It doesn t nudge you. It forces you to finish. It s built on the idea that dopamine is stronger than willpower so we remove the choice entirely. FORGE doesn t track tasks. It tracks who you re becoming through streaks, identity, and behavioral feedback. Who it s for: Founders who are tired of pretending to be productive. Builders who want deep work without escape. People who want a system that makes the hard thing inevitable. We re working on private beta. Join us if you re ready to stop breaking focus and start forging.
