From browser to desktop

  1. Save your browser project as a .rads file, or save it to your cloud projects.
  2. Install RAD and sign in with the same account. Initial sign-in and uncached online services need internet access.
  3. Open the .rads project from RAD, Explorer or Finder. Subsequent saves write back to your chosen file.

Your browser and desktop app keep separate drafts and caches. Keep .rads files as your durable project backups. Read the illustrated manual.

New versions appear here after publication. Install the newer version to update; this release does not install updates automatically.
