 Modelibr is a self-hosted game asset library. It keeps **models**, **texture sets**, **environment maps**, **sprites**, and **sounds** in one place, lets you preview them in the browser, and helps you organize them into **projects** and reusable **packs**.
 
+Native installers for Windows, macOS, and Linux are published in the GitHub Releases page. They bundle the local web UI, WebApi, asset processor, and PostgreSQL so non-technical users can run Modelibr without setting up Docker.

 - WebDAV gives Modelibr a more file-browser style workflow, which is useful when you want the library to sit closer to art-pipeline tools.
 - Environment maps are exposed through WebDAV globally and inside packs/projects, alongside the rest of the library.
+- Native installers expose WebDAV through the local launcher port by default.
 - Blender-related flows are part of the repository, and Blender CLI can be downloaded at runtime from the Settings page when you want that workflow.
