Model-driven generation
Forms, tables, cards, maps, and detail views are generated from your data model, not hand-built screen by screen.
Custom business systems, generated from your model.
Forma is the model-driven builder behind Octryon. Describe your data, roles, and workflows, and Forma generates a real application, with forms, tables, actions, permissions, files, and the Inky assistant, running on your brand and domain, with no codebase for you to maintain. It can also power the backoffice behind a Vitrine website.
How it works
Your model shapes the app, not the other way around.
-
Describe your business.
Your entities, relationships, roles, and workflows: the way your operation actually runs, not a generic template.
-
Forma builds the model.
We turn that into a data model, and the app generates from it, with screens, logic, permissions, and actions included.
-
You run a real app.
Launched on your domain and brand, with auth, roles, files, and Inky built in. Change the model, change the app.
What Forma gives you
A real application, generated and ready to run.
Workflow actions
Approvals, status changes, validations, and business rules run inside the app instead of in side spreadsheets.
Role and row-level access
Groups, capabilities, and row-level conditions so the right people see and change only what they should.
Files and documents
Upload and preview images, PDFs, and files, with dimensions, page counts, and useful text metadata extracted.
Inky, your assistant
Ask Inky about your data, have her update fields, run actions, navigate, and help your team move through the app.
Reactive fields
Computed values, defaults, dynamic visibility, required states, and filtered references update as records change.
Rich field types
20+ data types cover dates, maps, references, nested objects, charts, rich text, images, PDFs, files, and code.
Brand and tenants
Run on your domain and brand, with isolated data for departments, branches, clients, or member portals.
No code to maintain
Your app runs from models. When the process changes, the model changes. No fragile custom codebase handed back to you.
Why not another tool?
Built for business applications, not workarounds.
Forma sits between rigid SaaS, low-code assembly, and code generators. You get a real application without inheriting the maintenance burden.
Still feels like a spreadsheet once workflows and permissions get serious.
A real app generated from your business model.
Powerful, but still developer-led and tool-heavy.
We deliver the finished system, branded and ready for your team.
They generate code you still need to host, secure, and maintain.
Model-driven runtime, no generated codebase handed back to you.
Fast to start, rigid once your process stops matching theirs.
Built around your entities, roles, workflows, and rules.
Is this for you?
Best fit for teams with structured data and real workflows.
Forma works best when your business already has entities, relationships, documents, statuses, and different people who need different access.
You outgrew spreadsheets
Inventory, orders, requests, clients, or assets now need relationships, history, permissions, and fewer manual updates.
You need a portal
Clients, members, branches, or departments need a branded place to submit, track, approve, and manage work.
You run internal workflows
Approvals, status transitions, reviews, notifications, and handoffs need to be visible instead of buried in chat.
You manage documents
Images, PDFs, forms, and records need structure, previews, metadata, access rules, and an app around them.
FAQ
Common questions about Forma.
Isn't this just another low-code tool?
No. Forma is model-driven: define your data and the app generates from it, with no code for you to maintain.
How is it different from AI code generators?
Those generate code you then host, secure, and maintain. Forma is built for business applications and ongoing operations.
Can my whole team use it?
Yes. Apps support multiple roles, tenants, and access rules so different teams can work in the same system.
Does it have AI?
Yes. Inky is built in, but the core promise is speed and reliability; the assistant rides on top of a real app.
Inky can change our data. What stops it going wrong?
Inky acts with the permissions of the person asking, so it can never reach anything they could not reach themselves. You choose which actions require someone to confirm first, and every change it makes is recorded as Inky's rather than blended into the user's history. Every change is in a granular audit trail either way. The full detail is on our trust page.
Read how Inky is boundedIf there is no codebase, what do we actually own?
Your data and your model, records, files, and the logic behind your workflows: all of it exportable. The app runs on our runtime, so keeping it live means staying with us, but nothing about your business is locked somewhere you cannot reach it.
Where does our data live?
On our infrastructure, in the region you choose, in a cloud project isolated to you alone. Nothing for your team to host, patch, or monitor.
