Publish opens .pub files through Pub Converter, so old flyers and newsletters are editable again.

Letters for everyone

Write's mail merge takes names and addresses straight from your Labels address book.

Your library, on the decks

Mix reads your Play library as it is, so every track is ready to cue.

From database to website

Export a Base database as a PHP website and run it on Server in a couple of clicks.

A soundtrack for your film

Finish a track in Loop and send it to Video for your next edit.

03

Fast, native software

Real Windows apps that start in a blink and stay smooth, not web pages wearing a costume.

04

Free coded apps to suit all. Every feature is switched on and there are no adverts. No sign up, no email, usable offline, updates when I can, feedback welcome.

05

Mistakes you can undo

Previews before changes, undo, version safety nets and Recycle Bin deletes. Work fast, because mistakes are reversible.

Questions

Good to know

Which versions of Windows are supported?

Windows 10 and Windows 11 (64-bit). Download the app from the Download page and run it.

Is there a Mac or Linux version?

Not yet, but they're coming. Zaweba apps are Windows-only for now, and Mac and Linux versions are on the way. We'll announce them here and in the journal when they're ready.

Do Zaweba apps need an internet connection?

No. Every app works offline. Apps whose job involves the internet, such as FTP (which connects to your servers), only connect where you point them. A few offer optional downloads you start yourself, such as Route's maps and Wonder's encyclopedias.

Do you collect any data about me?

No. Our apps contain no telemetry, analytics or adverts. Once a day they ask zaweba.com whether a newer version exists, sending only the app's name, and a problem report is only sent if you click Send.

Is it free?

Yes. Free coded apps to suit all. Every Zaweba app is free to download and use, at home, at work or at school, with every feature switched on. No sign up, no email, usable offline, updates when I can, feedback welcome.
