I build it for myself, but sharing it so others may enjoys as well.\nThere are similar apps, notably [Doom Launcher](https://github.com/nstlaurent/DoomLauncher), but they are either Windows-only or lack features I wanted.\n\nI use macOS (Apple Silicon) and created this tool specifically for it.\nThere are no builds yet for other systems, but porting should be straightforward.\n\n![](./rusted_doom_launcher_screenshot.jpg)\n\n## Requirements\n\n- [GZDoom](https://github.com/ZDoom/gzdoom/) - Doom source port\n  - works also with newer [UZDoom](https://github.com/UZDoom/UZDoom/), there is some [drama about the GZDoom-UZDoom split](https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2025/10/civil-war-gzdoom-fan-developers-split-off-over-use-of-chatgpt-generated-code/)\n- `doom.wad` and `doom2.wad` - Doom game data from [GOG.com](https://www.gog.com/en/game/doom_doom_ii) or Steam\n\n## Install\n\n### macOS\n\nThe easiest way is to use [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/) via my tap [stared/doom](https://github.com/stared/homebrew-doom/).\n\n```bash\nbrew install --cask stared/doom/rusted-doom-launcher\n```\n\nAlternatively, download a binary from [releases](https://github.com/stared/rusted-doom-launcher/releases). Since it is unsigned open-source software, you must remove the quarantine attribute before running (otherwise macOS will report it as damaged):\n\n```bash\nxattr -cr /Applications/Rusted\\ Doom\\ Launcher.app\n```\n\nYou also need a Doom engine. Install it manually or via Homebrew:\n\n```bash\nbrew install --cask gzdoom\n# or newer:\nbrew install --cask stared/doom/uzdoom\n```\n\n### Linux and Windows\n\nNot yet!\n\nContributions are welcome if you can make it work on these systems.\n\n\n## Features\n\n- **Visual Browsing:** Explore WADs with embedded YouTube previews\n- **Instant Action:** One-click launch with UZDoom/GZDoom\n- **Mod Manager:** Download new WADs directly within the app\n- **Stat Tracking:** Track your play stats per level\n\n## Development\n\nTo build from source, you need [pnpm](https://pnpm.io/) and [Rust](https://rustup.rs/).\n\nInstall dependencies and run:\n\n```bash\npnpm install\npnpm tauri dev\n```\n\nBuild for production:\n\n```bash\npnpm tauri build\n```\n\n## Tech\n\n- [Tauri 2](https://v2.tauri.app/) (it's in Rust, hence the project name)\n- [Vue 3](https://vuejs.org/) in TypeScript\n- Python scripts for some processing\n- Claude Code and Gemini for vibe coding\n\n## Author\n\n[Piotr Migdal](https://p.migdal.pl)\n\n## License\n\nMIT\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fstared%2Frusted-doom-launcher","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fstared%2Frusted-doom-launcher","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fstared%2Frusted-doom-launcher/lists"}
