Last updated: July 1, 2026

Forrrge is moving quickly. This page tracks what shipped, what is in development, and what changes are planned for the next App Store release.

Beta notes are grounded in the current app development tree. They may change before App Store review.

Forrrge for iPad

First iPad release

In beta

iPad target · Version 1.1 · Build 6 · TestFlight

  • New iPad-native workbench with a split layout, control sidebar, dark canvas, and settings sidebar.
  • Generation runs through the shared Forrrge engine, including streaming partial frames while an image is being made.
  • Successful generations save into Recent automatically, with tap-to-reload and swipe navigation through recent results.
  • iPad gallery adds search, filters, selection mode, share, copy, delete, and open actions.
  • Provider keys stay in the device Keychain, with the same explicit AI-provider consent model as the Mac app.
  • Exports share a PNG through the share sheet to start; Xcode icon-pack export and background removal stay Mac-only for now.

Version 1.1

Mac update

In beta

Mac · Version 1.1 · Build 3 · TestFlight

  • New asset mode for thumbnails, alongside the original app-icon workflow.
  • Output presets for YouTube, Shorts, Feed, Square, and Icon Square formats.
  • Thumbnail layouts for Product Reveal, Big Question, Before / After, and Ranking concepts, with optional on-image text.
  • New model: Nano Banana Pro (Gemini 3 Pro Image) on the Google key, with streaming preview and reference-image support.
  • Gallery search and filters for asset type, format, style, reference-image use, and thumbnail layout.

  • Settings now show rough provider-spend estimates for this session and all time.
