What it is
Prismo publishes Zephyr, a free, open-source desktop mod manager for Linux, macOS, and Windows. Zephyr lets users browse, install, update, and organize mods for about 200 games. Built-in access combines Thunderstore and CurseForge browsing. Users can create and switch between profiles for each game, then share a profile through a code or link. Optional cloud synchronization uses Discord sign-in to synchronize profiles across devices. The app also includes an Archipelago multiworld randomizer with a bundled Python runtime, a configuration editor, gamepad navigation, and seven languages. Without sign-in, profiles, configuration files, and preferences remain on the device, while public mod metadata is requested anonymously. Cloud-enabled profile archives and metadata are stored with Prismo Studios’ hosting provider in France. Zephyr is licensed under GPL-3.0, with source code on GitHub. Installers include Windows .exe, Linux AppImage and .deb, and macOS .dmg files.

Who it suits
Zephyr suits players who manage mods across supported games and want profiles, sharing, or optional cross-device synchronization. It also fits users who prefer an open-source desktop application on Linux, macOS, or Windows.
Verdict
Zephyr combines multi-game mod management, profile controls, and two major mod sources in one free desktop application. Its local-first behavior and open-source license are clear, while cloud synchronization is optional and requires hosted storage.
