Project downloads are managed in the UI Library.
Catalogue packages may include editable ForgeUI project data and a standalone ForgeUI/ESP-IDF export. Each project publishes its own availability, and entries without a real ZIP remain marked as coming soon.
Future entries may be free, coming soon or available later. No payment or protected-download access is currently offered.

No catalogue ZIP is exposed until its real public file is published.
Standalone export
Own and extend an independent project.
ForgeUI exports a complete standalone ESP-IDF/LVGL project with native LVGL UI code, required image assets, generated input hooks and public output APIs. It selects the supported board's firmware template, and referenced CMake sources are validated before delivery. Developers can own it, edit it, version control it, build it, flash it and extend it independently with normal ESP-IDF tooling.
Generated UI remains generated and replaceable. Permanent application behaviour belongs in the exported developer-owned integration and application layer. The device needs no browser runtime, ForgeUI cloud connection, OpenAI connection, subscription check or phone-home dependency. Catalogue entries state explicitly when a downloadable standalone export is published.
Supported development targets
Two specific, physically tested environments.
ForgeUI supports the Waveshare ESP32-P4 WiFi6 Touch LCD 7B at 1024 × 600 landscape and the Guition JC8012P4A1C ESP32-P4 10.1-inch at 800 × 1280 portrait on tested P4 v1.x/pre-v3 hardware. This does not claim support for every ESP32-P4 board or every Guition revision.
