Installation & downloads

Open Planner Studio runs on Windows, macOS and Linux as a desktop application, and directly in your browser — no installation required.

Browser version

Open https://open-planner-studio.open-aec.com in any modern browser. The web version is a full build: it opens and saves IFC files (via the File System Access API on Chromium-based browsers, with a download fallback elsewhere) and keeps an auto-save recovery copy. The only desktop-only feature is the in-app updater.

Desktop downloads

Download the latest installer for your platform from the Releases page:

  • Windows — the signed .exe installer.
  • macOS — the universal .dmg (Apple Silicon and Intel).
  • Linux — an AppImage or a .deb package.

Automatic updates

The desktop app checks for updates on startup and can install them in place. AppImage builds are updated outside the app, so the in-app updater steps aside for those.

Build from source

Prefer to build it yourself? See Contributing for prerequisites and commands.
