Download

Windows has a packaged installer on the releases page. The web app opens in any browser. macOS and Linux build the command line tool from a clone, there is no npm package yet, and the mobile applications are not built.

Available now

Windows has a packaged installer. The web app needs nothing installed at all. On every platform the command line tool is one clone and the same five lines, because it is plain Node.js with no third party runtime dependencies, and that is the path every capture on this site was taken from.

From source

available

The command line tool, on any platform, and the path every capture on this site was taken from. Clone the repository, build the workspace, and the tool is ready.

git clone https://github.com/lucaswebsystems/openlimiter
cd openlimiter
pnpm install
pnpm build
pnpm openlimiter demo

Node 24 or newer and pnpm 9.15.0, which the repository pins.

Windows

available

The desktop application is packaged for Windows as an installer and attached to the release on GitHub. The command line tool builds from the same clone as everywhere else, and all one hundred tests run on Windows in continuous integration on every commit.

git clone https://github.com/lucaswebsystems/openlimiter
cd openlimiter
pnpm install
pnpm build
pnpm openlimiter demo

Node 24 or newer and pnpm 9.15.0, which the repository pins. PowerShell or any terminal you like.

macOS

available

Same clone, same build, for the command line tool. Apple silicon and Intel both run it, because it is plain Node.js with no third party runtime dependencies. There is no packaged desktop build for macOS yet.

git clone https://github.com/lucaswebsystems/openlimiter
cd openlimiter
pnpm install
pnpm build
pnpm openlimiter demo

Node 24 or newer and pnpm 9.15.0, which the repository pins.

Linux

available

Same clone, same build, for the command line tool, tested on Linux alongside Windows on every push. There is no packaged desktop build for Linux yet.

git clone https://github.com/lucaswebsystems/openlimiter
cd openlimiter
pnpm install
pnpm build
pnpm openlimiter demo

Node 24 or newer and pnpm 9.15.0, which the repository pins.

Web app

available

Nothing to install. The web app runs the same engine as the command line tool inside the browser tab, on a document you paste or drop, and it installs to a phone or desktop home screen and keeps working offline. Nothing is uploaded and there is no account.

Built, not packaged for you yet

This exists and it runs. What is missing is a build you can install on your own platform, and until that is produced this section says so rather than pointing you at something that is not there.

Desktop application

in development

A tray icon beside the system clock, reading the same local cache the command line tool writes. It is built and it runs, and the Windows installer above is the first packaged release of it. There is no macOS or Linux package yet, and no automatic update channel.

Not built yet

Everything below is written down so the direction is clear. None of it exists today, none of it can be installed or opened, there is no waiting list, and no date is being promised for any of it.

Global install from npm

planned

OpenLimiter is not published to npm, so there is no global command to install and no package to add to a project. Until it is published, use the clone above and run the tool through pnpm from the repository root.

iOS

planned

Planned. Nothing has been submitted to the App Store, there is no build, and there is no waiting list. The web app installs to an iPhone home screen today, which is the nearest thing that exists.

Android

planned

Planned. Nothing has been submitted to Google Play, there is no build, and there is no waiting list. The web app installs to an Android home screen today, which is the nearest thing that exists.

Every tagged version lives on the releases page of the repository, and what changed in each one is on the changelog.
