Redline

Start here

Redline is a desktop editor for IT and AV system diagrams. Your drawing files stay on your computer.

Install a release

Open Downloads, choose your operating system, and read the release's requirements. Historical versions and SHA-256 checksums are listed alongside the latest release.

Windows releases use MSI installers. Linux releases may include a standalone binary, DEB, or RPM. macOS packages appear when available.

Prepare your account

  1. Request access during closed beta. Once approved, accept your WorkOS application invitation and sign in using an email code. No password is required.
  2. Every new account automatically gets a 30-day trial from account creation. No card, company or paid seat is required. Signing in again never restarts the trial.
  3. On the desktop welcome screen, sign in through your browser and confirm the displayed device code. Select Your account trial. Redline remembers a renewable session, not your password. Alternatively, use an offline license key. Continue without signing in to view and export projects without editing.

Company membership and a paid seat are separate. Even a company owner needs an assigned seat to author drawings.

Paid purchases are a separate choice; account trial signup does not authorize automatic billing. New paid desktop activation is not yet enabled. There is no referral quota.
