The Dweller launcher
The launcher is a small native app (built with Rust and Tauri) for Windows, macOS and Linux. Download it here.
What it does
- Store & library in one window. The library syncs with your account on the website.
- One-click installs. Picks the right build for your OS and CPU, verifies the SHA-256, and unpacks it into its own folder.
- Automatic updates. Checks for new versions on start and every 30 minutes and installs them in the background (you can turn this off in Settings).
- Playtime tracking. Time spent in each game is synced to your library.
- Browser games and GBA games open inside the launcher.
- Self-updating. New launcher versions are signed and installed automatically.
"Install with Dweller" links
Buttons on the website use dweller://install/<game> links. If the launcher is installed they open it on that game and start the install.
