Unzip anywhere.
Run bandbinder.exe
- Portable mode: the library lives in
%APPDATA%\BandBinder. To run fully portable (library stored next to the app), create an empty file namedportable.txtnext tobandbinder.exebefore first launch. - SmartScreen: if Windows shows "Windows protected your PC", click "More info", then "Run anyway". The app is signed with Azure Trusted Code Signing, but SmartScreen trust can take time to build.
- Missing VCRUNTIME140.dll: install the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable once - any up-to-date Windows 11 PC already has it.
- Updating: no installer - unzip the new download above over the old folder. Your library is stored separately and is never touched by an update. The app tells you in-app when a new version is out, so there's no need to check back here manually.
macOS

- Requires macOS 10.15 (Catalina) or later. Signed and notarized by Apple, so Gatekeeper lets it open on first launch.

bandbinderbinary inside - no installer, no package manager. - The library lives under your XDG data home (typically
~/.local/share). - Requires GTK3 (
libgtk-3-0) - present by default on Ubuntu, Mint, and most GTK-based desktops.
