Disclosure

Code and site content here are built with Claude (Anthropic) as a development assistant — writing, reviewing, and shipping is directed and reviewed by me. Nothing on this site or in StatusForge is AI-generated without a human deciding it goes in.

The Game Database and cover art shown for StatusForge aren't original content — metadata is scraped and merged from public APIs:

• Steam
• GOG
• RAWG
• IGDB (Twitch-authenticated)
• SteamGridDB (cover art / logos)

All trademarks, cover art, and game names belong to their respective owners.

StatusForge doesn't collect analytics or telemetry. OAuth tokens for Twitch/Kick are stored in your OS's own keychain, not sent anywhere except directly to Twitch/Kick's own APIs when pushing a category update. The only outbound network calls the app makes on its own are: the platform APIs you connect (Twitch/Kick), the metadata sources above (only when you scan a game), and a GitHub Releases check for app updates.

Windows builds aren't signed with a paid code-signing certificate, so SmartScreen will warn on first run — this is expected, not a sign something's wrong. macOS builds are unsigned and un-notarized (no Apple Developer account behind this project yet), so macOS requires a manual right-click → Open the first time.
