Prismo vs RimSort

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.

RimSort is a free, GPL-3.0 community mod manager and sorter for RimWorld, with Windows, macOS, and Linux support. It orders mod lists from mod data, community rules, and Steam data, while detecting conflicts and warning about missing dependencies or incompatibilities. Lists can be imported, exported, saved, and appended. SteamworksPy connects with the Steam client and can launch the game through the Steam API; the Steam Browser downloads Workshop mods through SteamCMD or the client, even without a Steam RimWorld copy. RimSort also handles Git-based mods and databases, shares logs through 0x0.st, and shares mod lists through Rentry.co. Its todds DDS encoder offers three texture-optimization presets. Database tools build, compare, merge, publish, and edit rules. Optional external metadata databases require separate configuration. Releases may trigger antivirus false detections, and Snap-installed Steam is unsupported on Linux.
