What you download
The application.
Draftline is a native desktop application with a Go core and a web-technology interface, so it starts quickly and stays small. There is no sign-in step and the app has no telemetry. Downloads come straight from the GitHub release, where every build is public and every asset is listed in a checksum file you can verify against.
✓No account — the download is the whole setup
✓All features — there is no paid tier and nothing is locked
✓Open source — MIT-licensed; you can build it yourself from the source
✓Verifiable — a SHA256SUMS.txt is published with every release
Installing an unsigned build
The installers are not yet signed with a developer certificate, so each operating system asks you to confirm the first time:
| Windows | Run the installer. When SmartScreen shows an unknown-publisher warning, click More info, then Run anyway. The portable .zip needs no install; unzip it and run the executable. |
| macOS | Open the .dmg and drag Draftline to Applications. On first launch, right-click the app and choose Open. On macOS 15 and later, approve it instead under System Settings → Privacy & Security after the first blocked launch. |
| Linux | The AppImage needs chmod +x. It does not run on Ubuntu 22.04 or earlier (FUSE support for Wails 2 builds); use the .deb there. |
| Verify | Every release ships a SHA256SUMS.txt on the release page so you can check the file you downloaded. |
