Beta · v0.1

Download Synaptate

Free while in beta. No account, no upload — your library stays on your machine.

Download for Windows

Windows 10 & 11 · 64-bit · ~40 MB installer (.msi)

System requirements

Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit). ~200 MB free disk plus room for your PDF library. WebView2 runtime (already present on most Windows installs; the installer adds it if missing).

Other platforms

macOS and Linux builds are planned — the app is built on a cross-platform stack. Want to be told when they land? Email us.

Installing

Run the .msi and follow the prompts. Because Synaptate is an independent beta, Windows SmartScreen may show a "Windows protected your PC" notice — click More info → Run anyway. A signed installer is on the roadmap.
