EZPPLauncher
EZPPLauncher is a custom launcher for the private osu! server EZPPFarm, built with Rust and Svelte using the Tauri framework.
It enhances the osu! experience with quality-of-life features and integration specifically designed for the EZPPFarm community.

💻 Supported Platforms
| Platform | Status |
|---|---|
| Windows | ✅ Supported |
| macOS | 🕧 Partially supported (via Wineskin/Whisky/CrossOver) |
| Linux | 🕧 Partially supported (via osu-winello) |
Windows remains the fully supported platform. OpenTabletDriver is Windows-only. On macOS, in-game patching runs the Windows patcher through the same Wine prefix as osu!, so that prefix needs a .NET runtime installed.
macOS
osu! stable is a Windows build, so on macOS it runs inside a Wine wrapper. EZPPLauncher
supports Wineskin wrappers (the usual osu!.app wine skin), Whisky bottles and CrossOver
bottles.
The setup wizard automatically looks for Wineskins in /Applications and ~/Applications.
If detection fails, choose Browse and pick the osu!.app wrapper itself (or a Wine prefix
folder); the launcher resolves the osu! installation inside it, so there is no need to open the
bundle's package contents.
🪵 Logs
Launcher, osu! and patcher output is written to .ezpplauncher/logs in your home folder:
| File | Contents |
|---|---|
launcher.log |
Launcher lifecycle, webview console output and uncaught errors |
osu.log |
osu! and osu! updater output, including stdout/stderr |
patcher.log |
Patcher output, including stdout/stderr |
A file is only created when that stream actually writes a line. On each new session, or when
any file reaches 5 MiB, all three active files are bundled into a single
logs_<date>_<time>.zip; the five most recent bundles are kept. You can turn file logging off
or open the folder from Settings → Logging.
On Windows the folder is %USERPROFILE%\.ezpplauncher\logs.

🎨 Launcher Themes
By default, the launcher includes several downloadable themes. Themes can be created in two ways:
- Use the built-in advanced editor on the Themes screen. It opens in its own
resizable window with a full launcher home canvas, freeform text/image/video/shape
layers, WebM support,
@fontsourcefonts and custom font imports. It creates API 2.0 themes and can export them as shareable.ezpplauncher-themefiles. - Use the create-ezpplauncher-theme CLI. It supports both API 1.0 Svelte themes and API 2.0 declarative themes.
See THEME_API_V2.md for the full API 2.0 schema, limits and packaging layout. API 1.0 themes continue to load unchanged.
