A free Hearthstone meta, the desktop app, and more

We shipped a lot between October 23 and 27. This post groups the changes you'll notice, from the changelog, which lists every one.

#Free while the Hearthstone meta is built

Every account gets the full Hearthstone insights for free while the meta is being built: advanced deck analytics, card performance, community matchups and your whole history. Some of it stays free for good. The Hearthstone puzzle archive and up to 200 saved decks are now free on every plan, not only while Lolumen is free. When Premium returns, it covers only the advanced Hearthstone insights, and everything else stays free. Nothing is sold in the meantime, and subscribers' renewals are paused.

Everything for League of Legends is now free on every plan too, its daily games' archive included. The roadmap sets out what comes next.

#The live Hearthstone meta

The meta is live from the first tracked ranked game.

• Decks are named from their cards. Archetypes take their names from their signature cards, the ones common in them and rare in the class's other decks, rather than from what players call them.
• Rates come with ranges. Each class and archetype shows its count and its 95% range from the first game, and thin rates are marked as early instead of hidden.
• Each archetype has a page: its win rate, share, players, a representative list with its code, and its record over time. A deck's list and code show once three players run it.
• It counts only games read from Hearthstone's log, from players who count theirs and have accepted the terms.

#Your games, kept

• Every deck you play is kept. Each list you queue becomes a private deck on your account, named as Hearthstone names it, with every game linked to it. Later lists under the same name become v2, v3 and so on, and they don't count toward the saved-deck limit. Each deck's Matchups lists the cards opponents showed against it.
• Welcome back. After a sitting of three games or more, your dashboard opens on how it went: the deck you played most, the rank you climbed where the log recorded it, and your longest run of wins.
• Today's leaderboard runs on your own day, so it no longer empties every evening for players west of UTC.

#The desktop app

Lolumen for Mac 1.0.0 came out on October 24. It reads Hearthstone's log files to track your deck live, with draw odds, a floating tracker and an opponent overlay. It never reads game memory, never sends input and never shows hidden information. It's signed and notarized for macOS 13 or later.

Desktop 1.0.1 fixed games that never ended when Hearthstone's log hit its 10 MB limit. Desktop 1.1.0 then rebuilt the app in the website's look:

• a rebuilt deck tracker, with a cost strip, an In hand rail, your last three draws and large draw odds, plus a Mini layout;
• an opponent overlay that charts their hand by turn;
• new Data, Esports, Meta and Cards views;
• five themes: System, Light, Dark, Midnight and Pure black.

Games upload as you play. Each turn the app sends what both players can see, never your hand, your deck list or your name. New Windows downloads are paused until the installer is signed, as we explained. The desktop page has the Mac build.

#League esports

League esports has its own section, leading with the event under way. Worlds 2026 has today's matches, the Swiss stage, the knockout bracket and the full schedule, with times in your time zone and Eastern Time beside them. Results start hidden, and an eye beside each score uncovers it. Every Worlds team and player has a page, and while a match is on air the esports pages list the league's own broadcasts.

#Play

• Four new League games: Comp, Skins and Build as daily games, and Higher or Lower, an endless game with its own leaderboard.
• Hearthstone Archetype: name a famous meta deck as its cards turn over, from 70 curated decks.
• Tier lists: make and share a League tier list from S to D. A community list averages players' public lists once five have shared one, and says plainly that it's opinion, not a win rate.
• Daily games now ask for a free account.

#Four more games

Minecraft, World of Warcraft, Path of Exile and Rust each have a section of their own, free on every plan, with their own data and, for the first three, daily games.

#Terms, fair play and the rest

• Signing in or connecting the desktop app now asks you to accept Lolumen's terms first. The Terms and Privacy notice were rewritten, and your account export now holds more of your data.
• A Fair play page sets out what Lolumen reads from each game, what it never does, and how each source is credited.
• Lolumen opens in dark by default; a theme you chose stays as it is.
• The site has a new frame, menus and footer, and every marketing and content page was rebuilt.
• New pages: the changelog, the roadmap, the team, and Lolumen Data for studios and publishers. Support is at support@stacklumen.com.
