Can I get Aseprite without Steam?

Help

I bought a license to use Aseprite a few years ago, and while I like the program, I’m finding it inconvenient to have to run it through Steam. Steam locks Aseprite so that I cannot use it on two computers at once, or even run it on one machine and run some other steam app on my other machine at the same time. If I want to run some other steam app on my laptop while Aseprite is open on my desktop, I have to close Aseprite first.

Steam also launches a lot of adds when it starts up after I launch Aseprite.

Given that Aseprite is more of a graphics editor than a game and I don’t want to put up with Steam’s nonsense, is there any other way I could get the binary?

you could buy in itch.io, however you dont need steam to be open to use aseprite, if you go to the install folder, you can just create a shortcut from the .exe to your desktop, then you wont need to have steam opened to use it.
