Will Author's Forge run on my computer?

It depends on your operating system. Author's Forge runs on macOS 12 or later (Apple Silicon and Intel Macs), 64-bit Windows 10 or later, and 64-bit Linux, with AppImage, .deb and .rpm packages. There is no iPhone, iPad, Android or web version. The download is free, the core app needs no account, and once it is installed you can write and export without an internet connection.

Updating from an older version? Download and run the installer — your library and writing are untouched; installing over the old version is safe.
