- Desktop users seeking small games and creative or research apps
- Worth noticing
- The catalog marks some entries “Early” or “Not in the download yet,” distinguishing them from apps listed as available.
Field notes
The catalog divides entries into seven groups and uses availability labels such as “Not in the download yet” and “Early,” so the headline count does not mean every listed app is ready to use. The page says apps start when opened and stop when Forge closes, and describes each app as one folder plus a file that describes it. Examples include a solar-system map with gravity games, a snowboard ride, and a 3D-print-file viewer.
