Desktop App
The desktop app includes everything you need to draw — just install and open.

Platform notes
Linux — system dependencies
All Linux formats require WebKitGTK 4.1 and GTK 3 at runtime:
# Debian/Ubuntu
sudo apt install libwebkit2gtk-4.1-0 libgtk-3-0
# Arch/Manjaro
sudo pacman -S webkit2gtk-4.1 gtk3
# Fedora
sudo dnf install webkit2gtk4.1 gtk3For .AppImage, make it executable first: chmod +x Drawfinity_*.AppImage
macOS — unsigned app
Drawfinity is not yet code-signed. On first launch, macOS may block it:
- Right-click the app and choose Open
- Or go to System Settings > Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway
Windows — WebView2
Both installers include a WebView2 runtime check. If WebView2 isn't present (rare on modern Windows), it will be installed automatically.
Collaboration Server
The server is optional — only needed if you want to draw together with others. It's a lightweight binary that relays drawing updates between clients via WebSocket.
Download directly:

Run it:
chmod +x drawfinity-server-* # Linux/macOS only
