Install Froots in under a minute.
This is the fastest path to a working Froots install. Pick your OS, drag the app, open it. You don't need an account — a local vault is created the first time you launch.
If you've been using Obsidian or Bear, you can skip to importing your vault →. Froots reads both formats natively.
macOS
Download the universal .dmg from our downloads page. Drag Froots.app into your Applications folder, then launch it from Spotlight. The app is signed and notarized; Gatekeeper won't complain.
# If you prefer Homebrew brew install froots/tap/froots
Windows
Grab the .exe or install via winget. Windows 10 22H2 or later; both x64 and ARM64 are supported. The installer is EV-signed.
winget install Froots.Froots
Linux
The AppImage works on any reasonably modern distro. For native packages and the curl installer, see linux.md.
curl -fsSL froots.app/install | sh
