Why it exists

A launcher made for actual game night.

VE Foundry Client is an independent fork of the FVTT Player Client line. It keeps the simple goal of opening Foundry VTT in a dedicated desktop client, then adds the quality-of-life tools that make repeated campaign play smoother: saved servers, quick references, per-server autorun items, import/export, and a launcher layout you can tune to your table.

01

Foundry VTT server management

Save multiple Foundry servers with names, URLs, usernames, passwords, admin passwords, auto-login, status refresh settings, and per-server favourites.

02

Built-in player workspace

Keep campaign links, local PDFs, handout folders, character notes, images, and reference sites close to the tabletop without turning your browser tabs into a maze.

03

Windows, Linux, and macOS builds

Download Windows installer, portable, and zip builds, plus Linux AppImage/package archives and macOS builds from GitHub releases.

Launcher

See your worlds before you click.

Server tiles can show Foundry version, world name, system, system version, online player count, cached login artwork, and active-server effects. You can disable refresh for individual servers when polling is not wanted.

Favourites

Your tabletop side tools, one click away.

Save websites, local files, folders, PDFs, images, notes, and other Windows file types as quick-launch favourites. Use them from the launcher, open selected favourites automatically for a specific server, or call up the in-game favourites popup with Ctrl+Shift+F.

Client settings

Manage cache behavior, certificate handling, external links, notifications, fullscreen behavior, zoom, and Discord Rich Presence.

05

Adjust base theme, background images, colors, buttons, particles, Google Font URLs, and local font files.

Import and export

Back up or share settings, servers, credentials, themes, main favourites, and per-server autorun favourites separately.

Best fit

For players who want a focused Foundry VTT browser.

Less tab clutter

Open Foundry worlds in a dedicated Electron desktop client instead of mixing sessions with everyday browsing.

More campaign context

Keep campaign references, files, folders, notes, and web tools attached to the same launcher as your servers.

Private-use practical

Unsigned builds, GitHub releases, Windows installer and portable options, Linux packages, macOS builds, and a maintainer voice that keeps expectations plain.

Download

Grab the latest VE Foundry Client release.

Use the Windows installer for a normal app install, or the portable Windows build when you want the app and its data in one folder. GitHub releases also include Linux and macOS builds. The app is currently unsigned, so your operating system may warn you before running it.
