The Windows beta is withdrawn, and the desktop app is Mac only for now: four facts down a lit rule, the Windows beta withdrawn, installed Windows copies no longer updating, the Mac app unaffected, and the web tracker working in any browser on Windows.

As of today, Lolumen's desktop app is Mac only. The Windows beta is no longer offered, and its installers and updates have been taken down, as the changelog records. On October 27 we paused new Windows downloads until the installer could be code-signed, and said we would update that post when downloads came back. They aren't coming back for now: the beta is withdrawn instead.

If you installed the Windows beta

A copy of the Windows beta that is already installed no longer receives updates. That is the change from October, when installed copies kept updating themselves. The desktop page now lists Windows as "Not available".

Tracking on Windows

The web tracker works in any browser on Windows, and it is free on every plan. You can:

  • Log each game as it ends, in a few keys.
  • Import Hearthstone's Power.log to bring in a whole session at once. The tracker page says a Power.log you import "is read in your browser and never uploaded."

How importing works shows where Hearthstone keeps its log on Windows and how to turn logging on.

On a Mac

The Mac app is unaffected. The desktop page lists macOS 13 Ventura or later, on Apple silicon and Intel. It reads Hearthstone's log as you play and sends each game to your tracker with its deck.

Turning on the log for imports

Importing needs Hearthstone's Power log switched on, which you only have to do once. With Hearthstone closed, open log.config in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Blizzard\Hearthstone\ (you can paste that path into File Explorer's address bar), or create it if it isn't there, and add the [Power] section the import guide gives. From then on, each session's log can be brought into the tracker.

The changelog is where any future change to the desktop app's platforms will appear first, and you can follow it through its feed.
