KOMA Studio is free, open-source, and built for Windows, macOS, and Linux — download a binary, or clone the repository and compile it yourself under the MIT license.
If you're evaluating KOMA seriously, answer three practical questions first: does it run on your OS, what workflow does it replace, and what should your team review before rollout?
Confirm platform support and workflow fit, then decide whether you want a prebuilt binary or your own build from source. Either way there is no account, no license key, and no paid tier.
KOMA Studio targets Windows, macOS, and Linux teams that want one desktop application for translation, cleanup, lettering, redraw, and review. Because the project is open source, other platforms can be built from the repository as well.
Prebuilt binaries are the fastest path. If you want the newest commits, or you need to patch something for your own group, clone the repository and build it — the same MIT-licensed code ships in both.
Desktop-native workflow matters because chapter production is more than a quick browser task. Teams need local organization, visual context, and less dependency on fragile browser-only editing flows.
Before you roll KOMA out to a team, check the feature depth, workflow fit, and the comparison pages for any tools your process currently depends on.
KOMA Studio is developed in the open under the MIT license. It runs on your own machine, keeps projects on your disk, and never gates a feature behind a paid tier. You bring the AI model — hosted or local — and everything else is yours to inspect, modify, and redistribute.
