Editors
You write Divooka programs in an editor: you place nodes on a canvas, wire them together, run the program and see on every node what it produced. There are two editors, and each has a guide here that starts from nothing - installing it, the window, a first program, nodes and wires, graphs, running, debugging, examples, saving and the keyboard.
Divooka Explore
For learning, experimenting and everyday tasks. Everything it offers is ready as soon as it starts, it holds one document at a time, and it ships a large library of examples.
The Divooka Explore guide - start with Installing and starting.
Divooka Compute
For professional work and application development: several documents in tabs over a workspace of folders, documents that reference packages, libraries and each other, a compiled way to run them, a terminal, and plugins.
The Divooka Compute guide - start with Installing and starting.

How they differ
Explore and Compute are distributions of Divooka with different packaging and intended uses. Methodox's product overview describes the following differences:
| Divooka Explore | Divooka Compute | |
|---|---|---|
| Intended use | Learning, experimentation, and everyday tasks. | Professional workflows and commercial application development. |
| Distribution | A standalone, self-contained package with bundled tools. | A standalone distribution with modular package management. |
| Toolsets | Image and text processing, audio synthesis, procedural 3D modeling, file processing, automation, and LLM tools. | Office automation, multimedia processing, and application development, with compiled runtime support. |
| Desktop platforms | Windows. | Coming soon for Windows and macOS, according to the product overview. |
Explore has an itch.io demo and an official Steam page. The itch.io download is an earlier preview; check the store pages for the latest release status. Compute's capabilities above describe the announced distribution, rather than a currently available download.
Commercial use
Explore is intended for personal and educational use, with limited commercial use permitted. Its Steam licensing section describes when a separate commercial license is required, including selling program source files and exceeding the stated revenue limit for generated outputs. Compute is positioned as the professional distribution for commercial work. Consult the license supplied with your distribution for the applicable terms.
Where Divooka Engine fits
Divooka Engine is the C# framework for developers who want to build custom nodes and integrations. Explore provides a bundled environment on top of the engine; Compute adds the professional distribution and package-management workflow. See Methodox's product overview for the Engine download and licensing information.
