Accshift Files

User guide | Report an issue

Languages

• The interface now ships in 7 languages: English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian and Simplified Chinese. The picker names each language in its own script, so it stays readable whatever the app is currently displaying
• Chinese renders on minimal Linux installs that carry no CJK font: a 70 KB subset of Noto Sans SC ships as a last-resort fallback and is only fetched when Han characters are actually on screen
• The font stacks name the Simplified Chinese faces each system really ships, so Chinese no longer renders with Japanese glyph variants on Linux

Security

• Snapshots captured before encryption shipped were left in the clear until the account was switched away from. Every launch now sweeps the snapshot store in the background and re-encrypts what is still headerless. A file that cannot be encrypted is kept as it was rather than deleted
• The security policy documents what the PIN lock does: it gates the app and the CLI, it derives no key, and it does not defend against a process already running as you

Fixes

• Streamer mode: detection keeps running while the window is hidden. A stream started off-screen went unnoticed, account cards showed unblurred for a moment on the way back, and "disable for now" did not clear when the stream ended
• Onboarding: the welcome step fits short windows, and the titlebar stays usable during the tour, so the window can still be dragged, minimized or closed

Performance

• Fewer allocations on the hot paths: wallpaper capture, VDF parsing, Steam manifest scan and the streaming-software poll
• Fewer full process-table scans per action: Battle.net switch details from 3 to 1, Riot process handling from one per name to a single snapshot
• The Riot setup poll no longer rewrites both config files up to twice a second, and only writes when the detected identity changed
• Avatar gradients, command palette targets and theme tokens are memoized; the titlebar stops querying the window twice per event during a drag-resize

Steam

• The CS2 stats bridge is asked only for the accounts present on this machine: their SteamID64 go out in a batch of up to 300 per request instead of the app fetching everything the server tracks

Privacy & telemetry

• The consent screen offers two choices instead of three, with a link to the analytics page that explains what each one sends. Turning everything off is still one click away, in Settings > Privacy
• The telemetry endpoint stores nothing anymore: it forwards to PostHog EU with the IP suppressed and geolocation disabled, and the anonymous mode creates no profile
• The account-count snapshot was built from the config only, so Steam, the primary platform, was missing from every snapshot ever sent. It is counted now

Internals

• The Rust tauri crate moves to 2.11, in step with @tauri-apps/api; windows-sys, winreg and directories bumped too
• Dependabot for npm, cargo and actions; contributing guide, security policy and issue forms
• The README is a product page now, with the reference material moved into docs/

Install notes

• Windows: run the .exe (NSIS) installer. The in-app updater takes over from there.
• Linux: install the .deb / .rpm, or chmod +x the .AppImage and run it.
• macOS (Apple Silicon): the app is not yet notarized. After copying Accshift.app to Applications, clear the quarantine flag once: xattr -cr /Applications/Accshift.app.
