blinkl.io is a command bar for Adobe Premiere Pro that lets you access extensions and shortcuts instantly. Here’s how to install it correctly on Mac or Windows, create your account, and start using it.

Step 1 – Download blinkl.io

Go to the official blinkl.io download page and choose your version:

  • macOS installer (.dmg)
  • Windows installer (.exe)

Both versions are compatible with Premiere Pro 23, 24, and 25.

💡 Note: If your system displays a “virus detected” or “unverified developer” warning, don’t worry — the file is safe. We are currently working with verification systems to remove these alerts in future updates.

Step 2 – Open the file

Once the installer is downloaded, open the file from your 'Downloads' folder. A window will appear: double-click the blinkl.io logo to launch the setup. blinkl.io will open automatically once the setup is complete.
