The WordPress theme built for app & APK download sites.
A dedicated Apps content type, flexible download modes, and built-in Schema.org, JSON-LD, and author markup — everything you need to launch and rank an app-download site, without a page builder.
One-time payment. Lifetime updates. No subscriptions.
Everything you need. Nothing you don't.
AppForge strips away page-builder bloat and gives you a clean foundation built on WordPress standards.
Built-in SEO schema
Every page ships with Schema.org, JSON-LD, and author markup out of the box — no separate SEO plugin needed to earn rich results in Google.
Built for speed
No render-blocking scripts, no bundled page builder. AppForge ships minimal CSS and JS so your Lighthouse scores stay high.
Developer-friendly
Standard template hierarchy, readable hooks, and no proprietary shortcodes. Extend it the way you already know how.
Flexible design system
A restrained set of design tokens for color, spacing, and type keeps every page consistent — and easy to restyle.
Secure by default
Sanitized output, nonce-protected actions, and no third-party trackers baked in.
Responsive from day one
Every layout adapts cleanly from desktop to mobile, with no extra plugins required.
Easy to customize
Well-organized template parts and inline documentation make it simple to adapt AppForge to any project.
Purpose-built for running an app download site
AppForge isn't a generic blog theme with a coat of paint — it ships with a dedicated content model for apps, APKs, and downloads.
Dedicated Apps post type
Apps live in their own content type with categories and archive pages — completely separate from your blog posts.
App status badges
Mark any app as Free, Paid, MOD, Pro, Premium, Cracked, Unlocked, Patched, Beta, or VIP — shown right on the app card.
Version history tracking
Log every release with a repeatable version table, then flag the latest one with an automatic "Updated" badge.
Flexible download modes
Choose direct download, a redirect link, or a built-in countdown-timer page per app — no extra plugin required.
Reorderable homepage sections
Turn Discover, Most Popular, Hot Apps, Latest Update, and your blog feed on or off, and drag them into any order.
Ready-made listing templates
Hot Apps, Latest Apps, Popular Apps, and Top Rated Apps page templates are built in — just create a page and select one.
Every setting is one click away — no code editing required
A dedicated admin panel plus a live-preview Customizer put every option in reach, without ever opening a template file.
Full AppForge admin panel
Configure homepage layout, single-app pages, blog settings, colors, sidebar, and footer from one organized settings screen.
Live-preview Customizer
Branding, colors, homepage toggles, and social links — all editable with an instant front-end preview.
Light & dark color styles
Switch the entire site between light and dark, with a dedicated primary color and download-button color picker.
Built-in cookie consent
A configurable cookie banner with Accept/Reject buttons and a privacy policy link — no third-party consent plugin needed.
Author boxes with social links
Every writer gets a configurable bio box with avatar and social icons, shown automatically at the end of their posts.
Dashboard stats widget
See total apps, page views, and downloads at a glance, plus your top 5 apps and any listings that need attention.
A clean canvas for any kind of site
A quick look at AppForge in the WordPress customizer and on the front end.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use one license on multiple sites?
Each license is tied to a single domain. If you're building for multiple clients or projects, you'll need a separate license per domain — contact us if you need several and we can work out a bundle.
Do I need any page builder plugins?
No. AppForge is built with plain PHP templates and works with the native WordPress editor.
What kind of support is included?
Every license includes one year of priority email support and lifetime access to theme updates.
Is there a refund policy?
Yes — if AppForge isn't right for you, request a full refund within 30 days of purchase.
How does checkout work?
Clicking "Buy Now" starts a secure Stripe Checkout session. Payment details are handled entirely by Stripe — we never see your card information.
Is installation help included?
Yes. Every license includes an easy-to-follow installation manual covering upload, activation, and initial setup — plus priority email support if you get stuck along the way.
Is there a dedicated way to manage apps, not just blog posts?
Yes. AppForge includes a dedicated Apps content type with its own categories, version history, download links, screenshots, and ratings — separate from your regular blog posts.
Can I add a countdown page before a download starts?
Yes. Each app can use a direct link, a redirect, or a built-in countdown-timer download page — useful for ad impressions or simply slowing down bot scraping.
