Open Source Launcher!

Post#1 » Sun May 10, 2026 7:28 am

Perhaps our largest project to date (excluding the initial push to stand the server up in a semi stable way) is now complete. We are excited to announce that our OctoWoW Launcher is now open source! You can find it under the development menu on our main website. Please feel free to inspect, investigate, and improve it to your hearts content!

We only ask that if you make meaningful improvements to it, you attempt to submit an PR to request your changes get merged into the main branch to be distributed through our website. Also feel free to build your own version locally of course and use that if you would prefer not stick to a zero trust philosophy

One of our main hopes is that the community can modify the addons and mods section to be more functional, and to support users of all operating systems. There is also an amazing launcher icon in here (https://octowow.st/forum/viewtopic.php?t=135) that would be great to pull into the project officially. We saw it after a code freeze on the launcher while we were reviewing and couldn't pull it in ourselves yet.

Enjoy <3
Sincerely,
