Forge
Getting started

First-run setup

A fresh Forge instance has no accounts. The first visit creates the admin.

Reading time
    1. Create the admin account. Username and password — that's the whole form. Further users are created by the admin in Settings → Users, or arrive via OIDC.
    2. Pick your unit and defaults. Settings → Training holds kg/lb, the default rest timer, your weekly workout goal (drives the streak card), and whether to track RPE.
    3. Install it as an app. Forge is a PWA: on iOS, Share → Add to Home Screen; on Android, the browser offers install. You get a splash screen, full-screen app, and (over HTTPS) lock-screen rest alerts.
    4. Start training. Start an empty workout, adopt one of the built-in plans (StrongLifts 5×5, PPL, Upper/Lower, Full Body) from the Routines tab, or import your history first — see import & export.
