Although the very best way to use kiwitrees is through the specialised kiwitrees hosting service you can download a free copy of the software here if you prefer. With that you can create; maintain, and manage your own installation on a web host of your choice. Just download the kiwitrees software from the link below and follow the installation instructions included.
As well as kiwitrees itself you can also download a couple of free add-ons that you may find useful.
For questions regarding any of these either use the Support Forum or the Contact link in the menu above.
If you don’t find exactly what you want here you might need to try my Customising kiwitrees service.

In an ideal world each new release would be complete and 100% bug-free. Sadly, in the real world that seldom happens 🙁 However, any bugs that do exist are usually spotted quite soon after the release. You can find out about these in the “Bug reports” area of the forum here: Bug reporting. Look at any bugs marked as either “In progress” or “Fix committed“. Any other categories, such as “Fix released”, are already fixed in the version available for downloading here.
