CadCraft Studio 0.8 for Windows, Linux and Android: the eight CadCraft apps together in one install, with a home screen that opens them and sends each file to the app that reads it. From 0.5 on, Studio is the desktop download for every app. Every app is free, and your files stay on your computer. Each app also runs on its own in the browser.

Install

  • Windows 10 or 11: run CadCraft-Studio-0.8-setup.exe. It installs for your user only, with no administrator rights, and carries the WebView2 runtime it needs.
  • Windows portable: unzip CadCraft-Studio-0.8-portable.zip to a folder you can write to (the Desktop or a USB stick) and run CadCraft Studio.exe. The WebView2 runtime is inside, and Studio keeps its data in a data folder beside the program.
  • Linux (Debian, Ubuntu): sudo apt install ./CadCraft-Studio-0.8-amd64.deb
  • Linux (any): chmod +x CadCraft-Studio-0.8-x86_64.AppImage, then run it.
  • Android 8 or later: open CadCraft-Studio-0.8.apk on the device; allow your browser or Files app to install unknown apps, and if Play Protect asks, More details › Install anyway. It is signed with CadCraft's own key and is not in Google Play.
  • Each app on its own: on Windows and Linux every app has its own shortcut that opens Studio straight into it. On first start Studio brings over the settings, recent files and recovery copies of the separate 0.4 apps.

What's in 0.8

Studio 0.8 is here for Windows (installer and portable zip), Linux (.deb and AppImage) and Android. The macOS build follows. Links and checksums are on getcadcraft.com/download.

  • Connect your AI: one connection reaches all eight apps; read only, suggest, or edit, per app and per project, with a plain-words log. Whatever assistant speaks MCP or plain function calling.
  • 54 languages (ten new ones). Everything beyond English is a machine draft until a native speaker reads it.
  • Input devices (trackpad, pen, 3D mouse, controller, MIDI), toolbar rows, a property grid and the three workspace layouts from 0.7.
  • Studio checks for its own updates once a day (installer, .deb, AppImage) and asks first.

Said plainly: 0.8 is not code-signed, so Windows may warn and macOS asks for right-click > Open. One-click Connect inside Studio is built but has not been run in a Studio build on Windows or Mac, so it is not promised. Undo across apps is not in this release.

  • Studio Live: work on one file together. On your local network, others join with a code from the Studio that hosts. Invite links over the internet are not open to the public yet.

Notices

  • Nothing in 0.8 is code-signed; code signing and the Microsoft Store come in 0.8. The Studio installers are not signed yet. Windows SmartScreen shows "Windows protected your PC": choose More info, then Run anyway; the publisher shows as unknown. The Microsoft Store package is built but not in the Store yet, and the website's Windows package (MSIX) is not published: it is never published unsigned. Check the SHA-256 first.
  • iPad, iPhone and Google Play moved to 0.8 with the signing. There is no iPad or iPhone build yet, and nothing is in an app store.
  • Português (Portugal) (new), Português (Brasil), Español (México) and Bahasa Indonesia in Settings › General › Language are machine-made drafts, not yet reviewed by a native speaker.
  • Updates: CadCraft Studio 0.8 checks getcadcraft.com for a newer version once a day (Settings › Updates) and always asks before installing; it installs only packages signed with CadCraft's update key. A copy older than 0.7 can't update itself: install 0.8 once from this page or the download page.
