Build apps on autopilot with LocalForge, a free open-source coding agent that runs entirely on local AI models through Ollama or LM Studio. In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to set it up, connect local models, plan features, run agents in parallel, and build real apps without paying for Claude Code, Codex, or expensive API tokens.
