REAPER FAQ

Is REAPER safe to download from here?

We host no installers. Every download button goes to the download location named in the package listing, and the checks below were run on those files.

On 2026-11-07 we downloaded the latest 4 installers from those sources and re-computed the SHA-256 of each: 4 of 4 match the package catalog’s value. Code signatures: 4 valid.

VirusTotal: none of its 70 security engines flagged any of the 4 scanned files.

Reports exist for 4 of 5 files, so the rating does not cover the rest.

Our rating: Safe so far. No check is a guarantee. See the security details above and our Security and Trust Center. Publisher’s website: REAPER’s official website.

Does REAPER update itself after I install an old version?

For Windows, we have no information on whether REAPER updates itself, and for Mac, we have no confirmation that the app updates itself, although many apps check for updates and offer to install them. Look for an update setting in REAPER (see REAPER’s official website) before you rely on an older version.

Does REAPER cost anything?

We could not tell from the package catalog whether REAPER costs anything. For current pricing, see REAPER’s official website.

Which versions of REAPER are listed here, and how far back?

For Windows, we list 50 versions, from 7.36 up to 7.85 (the catalog has 147, and we keep the newest 50), and for Mac, only the current release (7.85) is listed, because older Mac builds are not kept in the package listing, and for Linux, we list 1 version, from 7.84 (2026-10-28) up to 7.84. This page shows the newest 20 Windows versions; the JSON and Markdown files for this app list all 50 Windows versions.

Where do the download links go?

They go straight to the source named in the package catalog, with nothing added by us: for Windows, to www.reaper.fm, and for Mac, to dlcf.reaper.fm, and for Linux, to dl.flathub.org.
