About QCAD Community Edition
QCAD Community Edition provides an open-source core for drafting plans and technical drawings. Precision tools help place geometry and annotate dimensions consistently.
The download includes a trial of commercial add-ons; remove those add-ons as described by the project to use the GPL community edition. Professional features are separate.
Information
Maco links to each project’s official download. Check its release notes for macOS version and Apple silicon support. The verification date records our license and source review, not a security audit.
