District administrators can install the database-backed whiteboard, create classrooms, import teacher/student rosters, and configure Google sign-in. Includes every component, a root start-here.html Quick Start checklist with all components checked by default, Bash/Windows BAT launchers, a native installation path without Docker, and detailed setup instructions.
Guided installation with a computer agent: each skill explains the steps, expected results, and how to keep a written or video record. Attach or paste its Markdown instructions into your agent conversation; browser-only agents guide you through desktop and terminal steps they cannot perform.

Individual apps
Individual apps
Choose one app to install on its own. VideoSplat, MediaSplat, AudioSplat, PDFSplat, and CipherSplat are included in complete DrawSplat v3.1.35; ClipSplat is also included and remains available on its own. Their offline startup methods are shown below.
ClipSplat™
Record or import video, add illustrated opening/closing panels and image cards, cut sections, and export MP4. Includes movable text and formatting icons.

Record your screen, edit video, and bookmark moments with named timeline markers. Includes recording-duration fixes and original-media downloads.
Offline: local launcher required. After extraction, use START-WINDOWS.bat, START-MAC.command, or start-local.sh (Python 3). Opening index.html alone does not start the editor. Recording permissions still apply.
Convert, trim, split, and inspect media files. Generate English subtitles locally.
Offline: local launcher required. Uses the included launcher (Python 3), not index.html alone. Local conversion and editing need no internet; download speech models before offline transcription.
Record audio, arrange tracks, analyze clips or selections, apply effects, and export your mix.
Offline: local launcher required. Uses the included launcher (Python 3), not index.html alone. Local recording and editing need no internet; microphone permissions apply and speech models need a first download.
Open documents and images as PDFs; place and format text, sign and organize pages, and export PDF, PNG, JPG, or WebP locally.
Offline: opens directly from disk. Extract the entire ZIP, then open its root index.html or Open-PDFSplat.html in desktop Chrome or Firefox. No Python is needed for direct-file editing. Camera and screen-capture permissions depend on the browser.
Encrypt and decrypt private text and files locally.
Offline: dedicated edition opens directly from disk. Extract the CipherSplat offline ZIP and open index.html or Open-CipherSplat.html. In complete DrawSplat, use the root Open-CipherSplat.html shortcut to reach the included offline edition. No Python is needed for direct-file encryption.
Use on this computer: extract the ZIP and follow START-HERE.html. The local launcher requires Python 3; core local work needs no internet connection. Install on your server: upload the included folders to your web server. Use the same ZIP; the Python launcher is not needed on the server.
SplatWorks app code is GPL-3.0-only. DrawSplat is AGPL-3.0-or-later unless a file or subdirectory states otherwise.
Smaller collections
Tools, Widgets, and Games
Offline with included launcher · Self-host ready
Use on this computer: extract the collection ZIP and follow START-HERE.html. All three collections include a local launcher that requires Python 3. Bundled local activities work offline; online services, external links, and first-time speech-model downloads need internet access. Install on your server: upload the included folders to your web server. The same ZIP supports both uses; the Python launcher is not needed on the server.
Install or update one collection. All three collections are already included in complete DrawSplat.
Tools
Creative tools including VideoSplat, MediaSplat, AudioSplat, image tools, and PDF tools.
The fourteen core self-host packages and refreshed ClipSplat package use v3.1.35; CipherSplat’s dedicated offline ZIP is refreshed alongside them. Keep the included folders unchanged when installing. PDF signing and media acceleration are included alongside the latest VideoSplat recording fixes.
What you get
Four ways to run DrawSplat and SplatWorks
Use the same downloads offline on your computer or on a web server. Choose the setup below that matches your needs. Google Apps Script and MySQL add connected services to DrawSplat; they are not required for local use of DrawSplat or SplatWorks.
Path 1
Offline on this computer
Extract the entire ZIP and open START-HERE.html. Use the included local launcher to open the app in your browser at a local address. No hosting account or internet connection is needed for core local work.
Install Python 3 before going offline; no extra Python packages are needed.
Windows: run START-WINDOWS.bat. macOS: open START-MAC.command. Linux: run sh start-local.sh.
Keep the launcher window open while working. See START-HERE.html for troubleshooting.
Use this path for complete DrawSplat, SplatWorks, individual media apps, and collections. PDFSplat and CipherSplat’s dedicated offline edition also support direct-file opening.
Online services and external links require internet access. Download speech models before offline use; recording permissions still apply.
Path 2
Self-host on a web server
Upload the included folders to your static web host, keeping their paths intact. Open the app through its web address. Use the same ZIP as the offline installation; the Python launcher is not needed on the server.
Best for access through a shared website or school network.
Use HTTPS for browser features that require a secure connection, such as camera and microphone access.
Static hosting alone does not provide shared accounts or cloud storage.
Follow the modular installation guide. Install DrawSplat and whichever separate SplatWorks packages you need.
Path 3
DrawSplat with Google Apps Script
Paste apps-script/Code.gs into a new Apps Script project bound to a Google Sheet, deploy as Web App, paste the deployment URL into Teacher Admin. Storage stays inside the district’s Google Workspace tenant.
Best for K–12 districts already on Google Workspace.
Full Compliance Console + Family Access Tools + District Privacy Packet.
Private account-owned Save/Open through the same API on Railway, DigitalOcean, or an existing MySQL server. Added audio/video notes travel with the board; revision checks protect newer online copies.
