LiftOff is a gamepad-first Windows game launcher built for handheld PCs and desktops. Steam, Xbox, Battle.net, and more — unified in one cinematic interface.
Every detail is designed to work with a gamepad in hand — from navigation to artwork to launch animations.
Full controller support with D-Pad, thumbstick, LB/RB tab switching, and button hints. Designed for ROG Ally, Xbox Ally, and any Windows handheld.
Steam, installed Xbox games, Battle.net, and desktop apps all in one place. No more juggling launchers — one interface to rule them all.
Hero artwork, banners, and logos pulled automatically from SteamGridDB. Set custom art for any title in your library.
Sky (light) and Space (dark) themes, each with 5 accent colors and 9 more themes in the pipeline. A launcher that looks as good as your games.
Tauri 2 + Rust backend means a featherweight footprint and near-instant startup.
GPL v3 licensed and developed in the open on GitHub. No telemetry, no accounts required, no subscriptions. Just a launcher that works.
Screenshots and video coming soon. Follow on GitHub or join Discord for previews.
