Download

Narraloom

Free while it is in development.

It will be paid from 1.0, and nothing you write before then stops working when that happens. There is no account to make and nothing to sign up for — the download is the whole thing.

Before you start

Linux

The packages are built on Ubuntu 22.04, which sets the oldest system they run on; anything newer is fine. Both need WebKitGTK, which most desktops already have — on Debian and Ubuntu it is libwebkit2gtk-4.1-0, and the .deb will ask for it if it is missing.

Windows

Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit. The installer does not need an administrator, because it installs for you rather than for the whole machine. Windows may warn you about an unrecognised publisher: the application is not yet code-signed, and the checksum above is how to satisfy yourself the file is the one published here.

macOS

There is no Mac build. It is not a port that is nearly finished — nothing is built for macOS today, and saying otherwise would waste your time.

Checking the download

Open the SHA-256 beside any file and compare it with your own copy: sha256sum <file> on Linux, or Get-FileHash <file> in PowerShell. They should match exactly.

Then what

Your manuscript lives in a folder you choose, so backing it up is copying a folder. Nothing is uploaded and there is no account. Everything Narraloom does is the longer answer.
