Answers on downloads, safety, your account, and listing your software. Browse below by topic.
Getting files, installing, and staying safe.
Is the software really free?
Yes. Every title in our library is free to download. Some apps offer optional paid upgrades from the developer, which we label clearly.
Do I need an account to download?
No. Downloads are completely account-free. Just click and go.
Are your downloads safe?
We link only to the developer’s official download page — never a re-hosted or repackaged file. You get the exact installer the developer publishes, straight from the source. See How We Vet Software.
Where do the files actually come from?
Directly from the software developer’s official servers. We don’t host or modify installers.
The download won't start — what do I do?
Try a different browser or disable your ad blocker briefly. If it still fails, the developer’s link may have changed — please report a broken link.
How do I install what I downloaded?
Open the downloaded file and follow the developer’s installer. Always keep the official installer’s default settings unless you know what you’re changing.
