GitHub release License PRs Welcome

The cross-platform launcher for moonlight that doesn't modify your Discord install.

✨ Features

  • Cross-Platform: Works on Windows, Linux (including Flatpak)
  • Multiple Discord Branches: Releases available for Discord Stable, PTB, and Canary
  • Developer Friendly: Support for local git installations of moonlight

📦 Installation

  2. Run the installer and follow the on-screen instructions
  3. Select your preferred Discord branches during installation

🛠️ Advanced Usage

Available Command Line Flags

  • --local <path>: Use a local moonlight instance
  • --branch [stable | nightly]: Use a specific branch of moonlight
  • --help: Display help message

Passing Arguments to Discord

Any arguments after -- will be passed directly to Discord:

moonlight-stable -- --start-minimized --enable-blink-features=MiddleClickAutoscroll

Using a different branch of moonlight

If you're using moonlight-stable, the launcher will default to using the latest stable release of moonlight. If you're using moonlight-ptb or moonlight-canary, it will default to using the latest nightly build. You can change this behaviour by using the --branch flag:

moonlight-stable --branch nightly
# or
moonlight-canary --branch stable

Using a Local Git Instance

To use a local development version of moonlight:

moonlight-stable --local /path/to/your/moonlight/injector.js
