We’re proud to announce the first public release of WinNative
WinNative is a modern, open source Winlator fork built for the experience we wanted ourselves. It started as something we wanted to use, and now we’re excited to share it with the community.
Notable features:
- Modern Jetpack Compose UI replacing Winlator’s legacy XML interface.
- Built for long play sessions, with controls and audio designed to remain stable during 8+ hour sessions.
- Easy to follow setup wizard for users who are new to Winlator.
- Basic Steam, Epic Games, and GOG integrations for personal game library support.
- Google Play support for secure login token saving and restoration.
- Built in component and driver fetcher with GitHub integration.
- Noticeable performance improvements compared to GameHub and similar apps.
Other notes:
- This is a 0.1.0 release, so bugs are expected and already being tracked. WinNative will continue to improve over the next several releases, with more polish, fixes, and expanded features coming over time.
WinNative wouldn't also be possible without Winlator itself. Consider supporting Bruno here in the meantime: https://buymeacoffee.com/brunosx
We would also like to thank all testers and contributors. Without their valuable input this wouldn't be possible.
