Synth Workshop v0.5 is the first release intended for meaningful external distribution. The public name is Synth Workshop. Desktop describes the macOS application; it is not a second product identity.
The headline is Increase your Experiments Per Minute.
The v0.5 macOS ZIP is published for Apple silicon Macs. It is ad-hoc signed and not Apple-notarized, so first launch uses the documented Control-click → Open flow.
Product
- Speed: compress the distance between an idea and trustworthy evidence.
- Visualize data: runs, traces, scores, candidates, and artifacts stay inspectable.

Workflows
