Lich Souls GamingBeta

Desktop App

A native wrapper for the Lich Souls Gaming website. Launches directly to your portal without opening a browser tab.

Current release: v0.1.5— May 27, 2026

The desktop app is completely optional

Everything on Lich Souls Gaming works in your browser — no account features, content, or functionality requires the desktop app. It will not be required in the foreseeable future. This is purely a convenience tool for members who prefer a dedicated window.

Security warnings you will see

Because this app is not yet signed with a paid certificate, both Windows and macOS will show a warning the first time you run it. This is expected and normal for beta software. The app is safe.

Windows — SmartScreen warning

Windows will show a blue "Windows protected your PC" dialog saying the app is from an "unknown publisher." This happens because we have not yet purchased a Windows code-signing certificate.

  1. 1Click "More info" (small link below the warning text)
  2. 2Click "Run anyway"
  3. 3The app will launch normally from here on

macOS — Gatekeeper warning

macOS will say the app "cannot be opened because it is from an unidentified developer" or that it is "damaged." This is Gatekeeper blocking unsigned apps. The app is not damaged.

  1. 1Open System Settings → Privacy & Security
  2. 2Scroll down to find the blocked app notification
  3. 3Click "Open Anyway"
  4. 4Confirm in the dialog that appears — the app will open and remember your choice

Linux — AppImage permissions

AppImages need to be marked executable before they run.

chmod +x lichsouls_*.AppImage && ./lichsouls_*.AppImage

RPM and deb packages install through your package manager. On Fedora 39+ the RPM may fail due to a WebKit dependency name change — use the AppImage instead.
