⚑ What is Rhystic Tracker?

Rhystic Tracker is a native, ultra-responsive desktop companion for MTG Arena on Linux, macOS, and Windows. It continuously parses MTGA's Player.log in real time, persisting every match, mulligan, card draw, spell resolution, token creation, permanent destruction, and combat damage swing into a local SQLite database on your machine.

Built with Tauri v2, Rust, React 18, and TypeScript, it delivers maximum visual performance and instant zero-latency queries without cloud requirements, tracking accounts, or telemetry.

πŸš€ Quick Start & Installation

Option 1: One-Line Installer (Recommended)

Run the automated installer in your terminal. It automatically fetches the latest release, installs the binary, registers the application icon, and sets up your desktop launcher:

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Balthazzahr/Rhystic-Tracker/main/install.sh | bash

(Alternatively using wget: wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Balthazzahr/Rhystic-Tracker/main/install.sh | bash)

The installer copies the binary to ~/.local/bin/rhystic-tracker, registers high-resolution application icons into ~/.local/share/icons/, and creates the desktop entry so Rhystic Tracker appears immediately in your application launcher (GNOME, Pop Launcher, Cosmic, Rofi, Wofi, KDE Plasma).

Note: install.sh automatically sets GDK_BACKEND=x11 in the desktop launcher so the app works correctly on both X11 and Wayland sessions (via XWayland).

Option 2: Arch Linux (AUR)

For Arch Linux, Omarchy, CachyOS, Manjaro, and EndeavourOS users:

# Install pre-compiled binary package
yay -S rhystic-tracker-bin
# or build latest from git master
yay -S rhystic-tracker-git

(Or build manually using makepkg -si inside packaging/aur/rhystic-tracker-bin/)

Option 3: Manual Download from GitHub Releases

  • Linux (x86_64):

    1. Download rhystic-tracker-linux-x86_64.tar.gz from GitHub Releases.
    2. Extract and run ./install.sh:
      tar -xzf rhystic-tracker-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
      ./install.sh
  • macOS (Universal - Apple Silicon & Intel):

    1. Download rhystic-tracker-macos-universal.dmg from GitHub Releases.
    2. Open the .dmg and drag Rhystic Tracker to your Applications folder.
    3. First launch Gatekeeper bypass: Right-click (or Control-click) Rhystic Tracker in Applications, select Open, and confirm Open.
  • Windows (x86_64) β€” (Community Verified / CI Built):

    1. Download rhystic-tracker-windows-setup.exe (or rhystic-tracker-windows-x86_64.zip) from GitHub Releases.
    2. Run the setup installer (or extract the .zip archive) and launch rhystic-tracker.exe.

    ⚠️ Windows Community Release Note: Windows binaries are built automatically via GitHub Actions CI from our cross-platform codebase. Since primary development and testing takes place on Linux, Windows releases have not undergone direct local QA. If you discover any bugs or path issues on Windows, please report them on GitHub Issues!


Option 4: Build from Source

If you prefer to compile from source or clone the repository:

1. Install System Dependencies

Rhystic Tracker uses Tauri v2, which requires WebKitGTK and standard GTK3 build libraries on Linux.

Debian / Ubuntu / Pop!_OS / Linux Mint:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y libwebkit2gtk-4.1-dev libgtk-3-dev libayatana-appindicator3-dev librsvg2-dev build-essential curl wget file libssl-dev libjavascriptcoregtk-4.1-dev nodejs npm

Arch Linux / Omarchy / Manjaro:

sudo pacman -S --needed webkit2gtk-4.1 base-devel curl wget openssl appmenu-gtk-module libappindicator-gtk3 librsvg nodejs npm

Fedora / RHEL:

sudo dnf install -y webkit2gtk4.1-devel gtk3-devel libappindicator-gtk3-devel librsvg2-devel openssl-devel @development-tools nodejs npm

macOS:

xcode-select --install

2. Install Node.js & Rust (if not already installed)

  • Node.js (v18+)
  • Rust: curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

3. Clone, Build, and Install

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/Balthazzahr/Rhystic-Tracker.git
cd Rhystic-Tracker

# Install dependencies and build self-contained release app
npm install
npm run build:app

# Run installer to place binary and desktop shortcuts
./install.sh

πŸ“¦ Runtime Dependencies (For Pre-built Binaries)

If running the pre-built release binary on a minimal or newly installed Linux system, ensure the WebKitGTK 4.1 runtime is present:

  • Pop!_OS / Ubuntu / Debian: sudo apt install libwebkit2gtk-4.1-0 libayatana-appindicator3-1
  • Arch Linux: sudo pacman -S webkit2gtk-4.1 libappindicator-gtk3
  • Fedora: sudo dnf install webkit2gtk4.1 libappindicator-gtk3

πŸ–₯️ Wayland / Steam Deck Note

Rhystic Tracker requires X11 or XWayland. The desktop launcher installed by install.sh automatically sets GDK_BACKEND=x11, so it works on both X11 and Wayland sessions out of the box. If you launch the binary directly from a terminal on a Wayland-only session, prepend the env var:

GDK_BACKEND=x11 rhystic-tracker

πŸ—‘οΈ Uninstall

rm ~/.local/bin/rhystic-tracker \
   ~/.local/share/applications/rhystic-tracker.desktop \
   ~/.local/share/icons/hicolor/512x512/apps/rhystic-tracker.png

Your match data in ~/.config/rhystic-tracker/rhystic.db is preserved and can be backed up or deleted separately.
