Open In Browser
Launch the planetary workbench immediately in a modern browser. This is the simplest path for quick design, preview, and export work.
Install and download options
Choose how to run M87 Gear Suite.
Use the browser for instant access, install the web app when your browser supports it, or download the Windows portable desktop app for the most responsive local shell. Chrome may still offer Windows PWA install; the Windows desktop app is now the recommended Windows path.
Install Web App
Chromium-based browsers can offer an app-like install using the same web workbench. Android installs it as an app, and Windows may show the same option in Chrome; Windows users who want the snappiest local shell should use the desktop app.
Windows Desktop App
Download the accelerated Electron desktop app as a portable ZIP. Extract it first, keep the folder together, then run M87GearSuite.exe. Paid desktop exports still verify Lemon Squeezy entitlement online before use.
Mac / Linux
Mac and Linux desktop packages are reserved for later platform work. No release date is promised yet.
