Classic Windows software from the Retrace workshop.

Built Like Useful Old Software

Keyform shares the confident structure of Retrace and Synantix while keeping its own desktop vocabulary: Windows chrome, chunky buttons, status panels, local files, and readme language.

Local FirstProduct pages describe files, folders, saved settings, and backup-friendly workflows.
Visible VersionsEach application is presented with a version, platform note, changelog, and release state.
Direct InterfacesKeyform favors menus, forms, lists, status bars, setup notes, and clear buttons.
Branch IdentityIt sits under Retrace but has a different texture from Synantix: smaller, tactile, and proudly desktop.
Support Desk

Keyform Support Notes

Keyform support is plain and trustworthy: runtime notes, release labels, screenshots, compatibility details, and troubleshooting steps before anything fancy.
