MailForge
MailForge is a browser-based drag-and-drop editor for designing email templates and exporting them as HTML or MJML. Its visual builder uses pre-built blocks and does not require coding. Designs are processed in the browser, and the maker says email content is not sent to a server and projects remain in browser local storage. Once the page loads, the editor can work offline.
Exports include HTML with inline CSS and MJML source, with presets for Mailchimp and Klaviyo merge tag syntax. The maker says standard HTML works with services including Mailchimp, Klaviyo, SendGrid, and ConvertKit. MJML files can be imported and converted into editable blocks; raw HTML paste is listed as a future feature. An AI assistant runs a lightweight model in the browser, while advanced features can optionally use your OpenAI API key. The Free plan costs $0 forever and allows five exports per month and three projects. Pro costs $12/month; Team costs $29/month and includes five seats and collaboration features.
