web or windows

The same tool, in the browser or on the PC.

Your plan, your catalogue and your cloud projects are the same in both. The difference is where it runs and what happens without a connection.

first run

Windows may warn you the first time.

The installers are not code-signed, so Windows SmartScreen cannot name the publisher and may stop the first run. That is expected. Here is what to do.

Only for the portal’s own installer

Run anyway is for an installer you downloaded from the portal yourself. If a file came from anywhere else, delete it.

  1. Download from the portal

    Sign in and download the build for your PC. The portal lists the app as Lyra.

  2. If Windows protected your PC

    SmartScreen may show “Windows protected your PC” and an unknown publisher. Select More info.

  3. Run it

    Check it is the installer you just downloaded from the portal, then select Run anyway.

  4. Sign in once

    Use your portal account. From then on the app keeps itself up to date.

mac

On a Mac, use the browser.

There is no app for macOS. Lyra runs in the browser on a Mac, with the same account and projects.

Running Windows in Parallels on an Apple-silicon Mac? The ARM64 build is the one for that.

questions, 05

Before you install it.

Is the Windows app a different product?

No. It is the same tool, with the same plan, the same catalogue and the same cloud projects as the web app.

What happens after 7 days offline?

The app asks you to sign in again, which needs a connection. Projects you saved meanwhile are still on the PC and sync to your account once you are back online.

Do we reinstall it for updates?

No. Install it once and it keeps itself up to date. What changed in each release of the tool is on the changelog.

Read the changelog
Why does Windows warn us about the publisher?

The installers are not code-signed, so SmartScreen cannot name the publisher. Select More info, then Run anyway, for an installer you downloaded from the portal yourself.

Is there an app for the Mac?

No. On a Mac, use the web app in the browser. If you run Windows in Parallels on an Apple-silicon Mac, the ARM64 build is the one for that.
