BootForge The short answers. Every one links to the full guide in the docs.
Yes. BootForge prepares a Ventoy multiboot USB drive entirely on your phone over USB OTG — no PC and no root. Plug the drive in with an OTG adapter, prepare it once, then copy ISO files to it.
Quick start →Ventoy itself is boot software that runs on the PC you boot, not an Android app. BootForge installs Ventoy's official boot files onto a USB drive from your phone and manages the drive afterwards. BootForge is an independent project and is not affiliated with Ventoy.
Ventoy boot files →No. BootForge talks to the drive through Android's own USB and file-access systems. It needs Android 10 or newer and a phone with USB OTG (host) support — no root, no broad storage permissions.
What you need →Three things: an Android 10+ phone with USB OTG support, a way to connect USB to it (a USB-C OTG adapter, a USB-C flash drive, or a hub), and a USB drive to prepare. A USB 3.x flash drive copies images much faster than USB 2.0.
What you need →Yes — that's the point of a Ventoy multiboot drive. Prepare the drive once, then copy as many ISO files as it can hold. When you boot a PC from it, Ventoy shows a menu and you pick which system to start.
Copying images to the drive →Yes, since version 0.1.9. Pick an ISO and BootForge writes it to the drive byte for byte, then reads it back to verify the write. Raw .img files are accepted on the same path; the app is upfront that whether a raw image boots depends on the image and the device it's meant for.
Bootable USB from Android →Yes, two ways: copy the Windows ISO onto a Ventoy multiboot drive, or use the dedicated installer mode (added in 0.1.9), which builds a standard UEFI installer stick from Microsoft's official ISO, splitting the oversized install file automatically. The installer mode is for UEFI machines, which covers any PC that meets Windows 11's requirements.
Windows 11 USB from Android →The built-in catalog covers Linux distributions, Windows, rescue systems, disk and memory tools, security systems, and utilities — each linked to its official source. You can also import any ISO you already have on your phone, and verify its checksum before writing.
Browsing the catalog →Yes — preparing a drive erases everything on it, and BootForge says so before anything happens: it shows the drive's name and capacity, a plain erase warning, and a checkbox you must tick first. Nothing destructive ever happens behind a generic "Continue" button.
Data safety →The entire drive-making engine is free: USB detection, preparing and updating Ventoy, importing ISOs, copying them to the drive, checksum verification, and every warning. BootForge Pro is a one-time purchase — no subscription — that adds in-app ISO downloads, the full catalog, image update tracking, and extra themes.
BootForge Pro →Plug the prepared drive into the PC, power it on, and press your computer's boot-menu key — BootForge lists the key for each maker. Pick the USB drive in the menu, then choose your image from the Ventoy menu.
Booting a PC →BootForge for Android is available now on Google Play. The Android app builds and manages the drives; an iOS companion covering the catalog and boot guidance is on the way.
