Get Perch Review
Download the latest version for Windows. Installs in seconds — no dependencies required.
Note: Perch Review is currently signed with a developer certificate. Windows will show a SmartScreen warning on first launch. This is expected — see step 2 below for how to proceed safely. A commercially trusted certificate is planned for an upcoming release.
