Lazap

A lightweight cross-platform software
Unifying clients into a singular, modern library

The new face of Open Source Game Launchers, Lazap, unites all your games together in one place! Whether it's on Windows, Linux or MacOS, we got you covered. Lazap connects with other proprietary game launchers such as Riot Games, Epic Games Launcher and Steam, and collects all of those games and deposits them inside of one place. Lazap is developed to be deeply customizable, meets up to the user's expectance, possess a glancing & modernist look, and isn't expensive at all on hardware consumption.

✨ Key Features

• Remarkably lightweight and efficient on hardware resources
• Compatibility across Windows, Linux, and MacOS platforms
• Support for clients such as Steam, Epic, Ubisoft, R*, Lutris, etc.
• Flexibility to add and personalize user-set custom games
• Modern and Sleek user interface with theming customization
• Spotify Integration with streamlined music control
• [Beta] Cross-Platform Lazap Overlay
• [WIP] System monitor, overclock, and benchmarking tools

‍💻 Installation

Depending on your operating system, we try to provide as much ease in terms of installation:

winget install LazapDevelopment.Lazap

• Download and install one of .deb, .tar.zst, or .rpm file in the releases section.
• Arch Linux users can also directly install from the maintained lazap-bin AUR (Thanks to @begin-theadventure).

Most modern MacOS systems are of aarch64 (also known as ARM) instead of x64 architecture.
Execute the arch command in a new terminal to confirm your MacOS architecture.
