- Every pattern is a stack of layers on one timeline

- Transient layers for single, crisp taps

FAQ
Haptic Forge questions
Is Haptic Forge available on the App Store?
Yes. Haptic Forge is on the App Store for iPhone and iPad and on the Mac App Store. It is a universal purchase, so buying it once unlocks it on all three.
Can I design haptics on a Mac or iPad?
Yes. Mac and iPad get the full editor with a sidebar library, layer tabs and an inspector. They cannot play Core Haptics themselves, so you pair a nearby iPhone once with a six-digit code and it plays every pattern as you edit.
Does Haptic Forge work with AHAP files?
Yes. It imports and exports standard .ahap files. Third-party AHAP files become editable layers, and exports stay valid for any app that reads AHAP.
Is Haptic Forge a subscription?
No. It is a one-time purchase with no subscription, no ads and no account. Your patterns stay in your own iCloud.
