Picardy 2.1 is available for the Windows™, Macintosh™, and Linux platforms. Click below to download. These files will be updated from time to time.

Windows (MSI; 34MB; uploaded June 18, 2025)

(Windows may complain because the file is from an unknown publisher; don’t worry, it’s fine.)

Note for Macintosh and Linux users: Picardy toolbar buttons use the Segoe MDL2 Assets font; Windows has this font installed by default, but for Linux you will need to install it before using the software. You can download this font from Microsoft here. Look here if you need instructions for installing fonts in Linux.

Note for Macintosh users: Picardy is not a notarized Apple app, so MacOS will try to tell you that it’s terrible, very bad, no good, etc. Pay it no mind. Ctrl-click the app and then click Open; click Open Anyway when prompted. Alternatively you can go to System Settings > Privacy and Security to find the same prompt. Happy sailing!
