ReelForge is a workshop of calculators, analyzers, and visualizers built for the way short-form actually works in 2026 — hooks in 3 seconds, captions burned in, vertical safe zones, and platform-specific export settings.
Most creator "tools" are a single text box that says "good job". ReelForge tools come with built-in benchmarks, multi-axis scoring, and explanations that tell you why a score moved — not just the number.
Every scorer breaks the result into 4–6 sub-metrics so you know which lever to pull, not just whether to "do better".
Each score compares to a published or community-collected median, not an arbitrary "out of 100".
Tools reference each other: hook score uses pacing, thumbnail tester uses color psychology, retention uses hook + pacing.

No. Every tool runs entirely in your browser. We do not collect emails, log inputs, or store results on a server.
A blend of published creator-economy reports (Tubular Labs, Hootsuite, Influencer Marketing Hub), platform-published creator playbooks, and aggregated medians from public creator case studies. Each tool page lists the sources it references.
Analyzing an actual audio file requires uploading it, which would mean storing it. We chose a math-only approach that respects your privacy: enter your measured peak/RMS from any DAW and we'll calculate the adjustment.
Yes — use the contact link in the footer. We prioritize tools that solve a recurring pain we hear from multiple creators, not one-off requests.
The scoring rules are deterministic JavaScript functions, not language model calls. The same input always returns the same output. Nothing about your script leaves your browser.
