The main interface is designed to provide a real-time "Mirror" between your source files and their intended destination. While the layout is straightforward, the Witch uses a color-coded system to communicate the status and health of your files at a glance.
The Tool Bar is your primary source of magic. It houses the spells for opening files, exporting your transmutations, and accessing the deeper settings of the Witch.

| Unicode Source: A UTF-8 encoded file. The Witch has mapped its best-fit codepages. | |
| Legacy Source: A codepage-encoded file. The Witch is using statistical analysis to determine its origin. | |
