Download Zettlr Current Version: 3.4.4

Zettlr is Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) and available for most operating systems. We offer both direct downloads and a variety of options to install Zettlr via your preferred package manager. See what's new in version 3.4.4.

Which version do I need? Zettlr comes in two flavors: Regular 64 bit, and ARM-based 64 bit. The ARM-version will not run on a regular 64 bit computer, and vice versa, so make sure to download the correct version for your computer.
  • When in doubt, check the system information for your processor architecture (regular 64 bit computers often tell you that they are 'x86_64').

Install Zettlr via your preferred Package Manager

On macOS, you can install Zettlr using Homebrew. Just make sure, Homebrew is installed and then run the following line of code in a terminal window:

$ brew install --cask Zettlr

The Brew installer will grab the newest release from our official GitHub releases page. Thanks to GitHub user Tim Shadel for adding Zettlr to the Homebrew repository!

On Debian and APT-compatible systems, you can install and automatically keep Zettlr updated by using our official APT repository. To set up our APT repository, head over to its homepage:

Go to apt.zettlr.com

The APT repository automatically pulls the Debian installer files from the GitHub releases section. It may take a few days until a new version is present in the repository.

On Linux, you can install Zettlr as a FlatHub package. This requires FlatHub to be installed on your system. To install Zettlr via FlatHub, head over to Zettlr's store page:

Install Zettlr via FlatHub

The FlatHub releases will be built off the binaries from GitHub utilizing the code that is in this repository. Thanks to GitHub user Lunarequest for adding Zettlr to the FlatHub store!

Attention! When installing Zettlr via FlatHub, you need to follow a few extra setup steps. Read the FlatHub setup instructions.

On Windows, you can install Zettlr using Chocolatey. Install the Zettlr package by running the following line of code in a command window:

C:\> choco install zettlr

Please note that the Chocolatey repository is managed by a third-party, not by us. Thanks to mkevenaar for adding Zettlr there!

Zettlr binaries are also available for setup on Arch Linux as a regular package. Setup instructions.

These binaries are provided by third-party supporters who compile the app regularly. Make sure to double-check them before installing!

Beta Releases

Especially before bigger releases, we start beta phases in order to make sure to find as many bugs as possible before the actual release. Betas are a great way to experience new features and cutting edge functionality before most others, so if you're keen on getting the very latest versions, you can find potential beta releases directly on our GitHub releases page. You can also select "Notify me about beta releases" in the app's preferences to receive those beta releases like regular releases.

Go to GitHub Releases

Nightly Releases

We also offer nightly releases. Nightlies are releases that are compiled right from the most recent changes in the codebase. This means: no release is more "cutting edge", but it also means there might be a lot of bugs in them. We recommend these releases for more advanced users who want to always have the most recent features.

Older Releases

Sometimes it might be necessary to temporarily downgrade to an older release. You can find those on our GitHub releases page as well. But please note that we do not support any older release, so do not install older releases unless you know what you're doing!
