The DashForge app
For DashForge v3.99.110 · updated 30 October 2026
Every screen and setting in the DashForge app: connecting your engine computer over USB or Bluetooth, dashboards and alerts, the head-up display, tuning and VE auto-tune, datalogging and the virtual dyno, navigation, the lap timer and DashForge Track. It ends with which features need which sensors, troubleshooting by on-screen message, and how to get help.
A plain text file: it opens on any phone or computer. Searching it for a menu name or an on-screen message is the quickest way to find something.

The DashForge Designer
For the designer at dashdesigner.appforged.cc · updated 23 October 2026
How to design your own dashboards in your web browser: gauges, dials, tiles, bars, shift lights, maps and quick-tune buttons, colours for day and night, layouts for any screen shape, moving backgrounds, mood figures and warning banners. Then how to export the .msdash file and import it in the DashForge app.
A plain text file, like the app guide. Button names are quoted exactly as the designer shows them, so you can search for them.
