  # Installation instructions
  Note that a Pro, Unlimited, or Founder subscription (or subscription trial) is necessary to access the native desktop app. If you are currently on a Personal plan, you can continue to use the Amplenote PWA and mobile app at no cost. However, developing the native app is a very expensive undertaking, so we are limiting access at least until our development efforts aren't a net drain on our company's resources. If you would like to upgrade your subscription, you can visit [the Subscription selection page](https://www.amplenote.com/subscriptions/new) .
  
  To install the app:
  Visit the [Native Desktop Download page](https://www.amplenote.com/download)  
  Choose the downloadable application that corresponds to your system
  Double click on the downloaded app to initiate the installation process
  If you're using Windows, Administrator permissions will likely be necessary in order to install the app.
