Prismo
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.
