Weekly Reflection
The hard line works. The moment the list got bloated, execution slowed down. Five was enough. Next week needs better morning planning and less context switching.
Stats
Win rate, streaks, failures, and momentum
The dashboard makes the score impossible to ignore with a win rate ring, monthly wins vs losses, and the failure counter.

Stats dashboard
Win rate, longest streak, total losses, monthly performance, and the failure counter all live in one view.
How the system works
A simple rule set that forces prioritization.
Forge Five is not a flexible inbox for random tasks. It is a daily scorecard built around exactly five critical tasks.
Choose 5 critical tasks.
Not fifteen. Not a giant backlog. Just the five tasks that decide whether the day mattered.
Finish all 5 to win the day.
The list is not complete until every critical task is done. That line is the entire point of the product.
Miss 1 and take the loss.
No partial credit. No soft scoring. That pressure is what turns the app from a normal to-do list into a discipline tool.
What you get
A daily planner, streak tracker, review loop, and scorecard.
The product is intentionally narrow: one desktop app for planning, finishing, reviewing, and tracking your days without cloud bloat.
Private by default
The app stores your data locally and keeps the core workflow off the cloud.
Calendar of wins and losses
Each finalized day builds a visible record instead of disappearing into a list archive.
Weekly reflection built in
Review the week, count wins, track streaks, and write a short reflection in one screen.
Failure counter included
Wins matter. Losses stay visible too. The app is designed to make that uncomfortable on purpose.
Founder pricing
One-time purchase. No subscription. No account requirement.

FAQ
The obvious questions.
Is this a web app?
No. Forge Five is a desktop app. This website is a static launch page with an interactive mockup of the product screens.
Why exactly five tasks?
Because the point is forced prioritization. If the number floats, the pressure disappears and the system turns back into a normal to-do list.
Does it require an account or cloud sync?
No. The app is designed around a local-first workflow with no required account.
Can this site be hosted for free?
Yes. The website is plain static HTML, CSS, SVG, and JavaScript, so it can be hosted on free static hosting like Cloudflare Pages or GitHub Pages.
