Limner for Windows
Version 0.8.3 · 64-bit installer · Limner-Setup-0.8.3.exe
Download free
Signed · verified publisher No account required Built-in auto-updater

First install? Because Limner is new, Windows may show a blue "Windows protected your PC" notice, and some antivirus tools may flag it. That is expected for a fresh release and clears as more people install. Limner is code-signed by Parker Vincent and safe to run. Installing from the Microsoft Store skips this warning entirely. See how to open it.

System requirements

Built to run on the PC you own.

GPU-first and tiled, so big canvases stay smooth, all the way down to integrated graphics.

Operating system

Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit. The installer and app are code-signed by a verified publisher.

Graphics

Any GPU, including integrated. Hardware-encoded timelapse with a CPU fallback so every machine can record.

Pen & tablet

Native Win32 pen with pressure and tilt. A tablet is optional, a mouse works fine to start.

Storage & safety

A light native install. Autosave and crash recovery keep your work safe between sessions.

Installing

Up and painting in three steps.

01

Run the installer

Download Limner-Setup.exe and open it. It is digitally signed, so Windows shows the verified publisher Parker Vincent, the developer behind Limner.

02

If you see a blue screen

Because Limner is brand new, Windows may show a blue Windows protected your PC screen. That is normal for a fresh app and clears as more people install. Click More info, then Run anyway, and check the publisher reads Parker Vincent.

03

Launch & paint

Limner opens ready for File ▸ New, or offers to reopen your last project. Double-click any .limner file to open it directly.

Antivirus flagged it?

Some antivirus tools over-flag brand-new apps they have not seen before, a false positive that is common for small independent releases. Limner is code-signed and safe. If your antivirus quarantines the installer, restore or allow the file, then run it again. It also clears on its own as the app becomes more widely installed.

Prefer to check the file yourself? Scan it on VirusTotal · SHA-256 ebc8a60ba3e847f7a17a7e9250adb94effde32fb52cf7aee7ba9e79873e529b0
