Free Kundli Software for PC: Windows, Mac and Linux Options (2026)
The best-known free kundli program for Windows was last updated on 1 January 2016, and its own page lists Windows 7 as the newest system. Free kundli software for PC, compared: what installs on Windows, a Mac or Linux, and what runs in any browser.
Supastro wrote this. Where another program does a job better, I say so. Facts about other software are from each developer's own pages.
Search for free kundli software for PC and you land on download pages for programs written for Windows XP. Some are brilliant. Some have not been touched in a decade. And some "free downloads" are copies of paid programs nobody should run. Here is what actually works on a computer in 2026.
What is the best free kundli software for PC?
Supastro's free kundli is the best free option for most PC users: it works in any PC browser with nothing to install, and explains the chart in plain English. Jagannatha Hora is the deepest free program for Windows users who read charts themselves. Maitreya 8 is the free pick for Mac and Linux. Drik Panchang and Prokerala are free in any browser.

Is there free kundli software for Windows 10 and 11?
Yes, but read the fine print. Jagannatha Hora's own page lists Windows versions up to Windows 7 and says the first install screen may warn about an unknown publisher. Maitreya 8.2, released on 30 September 2025, ships a 64-bit Windows installer. Every browser option on this list runs on Windows 11 with nothing to install.
Is there free kundli software for Mac and Linux?
Yes. Maitreya 8 is free, open source and built for Windows, Mac and Linux; its site warns that macOS may call the download corrupt, a known Gatekeeper issue. Jagannatha Hora does not run on a Mac at all, by its own page, except through Windows emulators. Browser tools work on any of them.
Desktop program or browser: which should you use?
Install a program if you want to work offline, keep charts on your own disk and change every setting. You also interpret everything yourself. Use a browser tool if you want nothing to install, the latest version every time and an explanation. That is the trade: depth and privacy, or convenience and meaning.
Supastro, an AI Vedic astrology app built in Bengaluru by Quantum Karma, sits on the browser side. It computes your chart with the Lahiri ayanamsa, whole-sign houses and your birthplace's real time zone on your birth date, prints those settings on the page, and writes a short reading from the computed facts, checked against your chart before you see it. When you want answers to your own questions, the Oracle reads the same chart, from ₹599 a month.
Is free kundli software safe to download?
Only from the developer's own site. Five checks before you install anything:
- The download comes from the developer's site or official code page, never a "free download" portal.
- The latest version date is printed, so you know whether anyone still maintains it.
- Your operating system is on the supported list.
- It names its ayanamsa and lets you pick Lahiri, India's standard.
- It never asks you to switch off your computer's security, system-wide, to run.
Be wary of old paid programs offered free. Durlabh's Kundli for Windows was one of India's best-selling kundli programs; its author's own site lists it under 1995 to 2001, with version 4.5 as the last. I found no official download today, so treat any copy online as unofficial. And AstroSage, often listed as PC software, offers no download: its own page says its kundli software is web-based.
When is paid desktop software worth it?
Only if you read charts for other people. Parashara's Light, one of the best-known paid programs, costs ₹5,900 for its Personal edition and ₹23,600 for the Professional edition in India, including GST, or $299 in the US, on Windows or Mac. It needs a USB port and does not run in virtual machines. For your own chart, the free options above cover what you need.
