LiveCode LLC dropped support for the GPL licensed edition on Sept. 1st 2021. A fork called OpenXTalk IDE is being independently developed on GitHub here: https://github.com/OpenXTalk-org

Sadly, the free Community Edition was killed off Sept 1, 2021 and they removed all download links. I think the receivers of the company (it's in bankruptcy, IIRC) forced them to drop the free edition and raise prices for everybody else. The permanent Indy license has also been discontinued for new purchases.

The executables are quite large in file size.

What is LiveCode?

Write once, deploy anywhere

LiveCode enables flexible delivery to multiple platforms and devices from a single code base. This capability can boost the return on investment you get from adopting LiveCode by an order of magnitude.

LiveCode solutions can be deployed as native executables on Windows, Mac and Linux desktops, popular Web browsers using the LiveCode Player (a browser plugin), servers, and a number of mobile devices. Distribution of your applications is always royalty-free.

We’ve worked hard to make the language as compatible as possible and to minimize the number of changes you need to make on each platform. There are many where cases LiveCode applications will run on different platforms with no changes at all.

Native support for each platform

LiveCode has support for a plethora of native features on each platform that we support. While code changes are often not required in order to run, you do usually need to do a little work if you want to take full advantage of the native feature set and look of each platform we support.

Typically applications will run on Windows, Mac and Linux desktops with minimal modification though we do advise taking a little time to tweak the user experience on each platform. Many applications require minimal changes to deploy in a web browser though in it is usually sensible to redesign aspects of the application to fit in with your website or with other web applications.
