  • ⚡ Optimized Performance: Includes smart background refreshing and cache management to keep memory usage low.
  • 🔄 Auto-Updates: Built-in automatic updates ensure you are always running the latest version without manual downloads.
  • 💻 Native Desktop Experience: Features a system tray icon, custom window framing, and secure external link handling.
  • 🖱️ Quick Access: Instantly open or hide the application by simply left-clicking the tray icon.
  • 🧩 Open Source: Fully transparent architecture, distributed under the MIT License.

🛠 Installation & Setup

Standard Installation (Recommended)

  1. Go to the Releases page.

To get a development environment running or to build the application yourself, follow these steps:

  2. Navigate to the project directory:
    cd FluxCap

Clean Installation Guide

When updating to a new major version of FluxCap, we highly recommend performing a clean installation. This prevents old cache files, registry entries, or outdated configurations from causing unexpected behavior.

We recommend using Revo Uninstaller to ensure all leftover registry items and hidden application data in your AppData folders are completely removed.

  1. Download: Get Revo Uninstaller Free and install it.
  2. Uninstall: Open Revo Uninstaller, select FluxCap, and click Uninstall.
  3. Scan for Leftovers: Use the "Moderate" or "Advanced" scan to find and safely remove remaining files and registry entries (specifically checking for old %AppData%\unofficial-fluxer-client folders).
  4. Install the New Update: Once your system is clean, download and install the latest release.

For detailed instructions, please refer to our Clean Installation Guide in the Wiki or the Revo Uninstaller Support Page.


💻 Usage

Simply launch FluxCap from your start menu or desktop shortcut. The client will automatically connect to the Fluxer web interface. You can log in using your standard credentials.

If you close the window, FluxCap will silently minimize to your system tray to keep you connected in the background. Left-click the tray icon to quickly open the app, or right-click the tray icon to completely quit the application, clear the cache, or manually check for updates.
