The Wowhead Client, WowUtils Bridge, wowaudit client and the other uploaders only exist for Windows. Hearthlink does their job on Linux: it sits in your tray, uploads after you play and keeps the addons up to date.

What it does

Service	What Hearthlink does for you
Wowhead	Uploads game data and the Wowhead Looter addon's data, keeps the Looter up to date
WowUtils	Sends your character data, brings your raid's wishlists into the game, sends RCLootCouncil loot history
wowaudit	Brings your team's wishlists into RCLootCouncil / SimpleLootCouncil, sends loot history and WowauditCompanion data
ForeverDB	Runs ForeverDB's official uploader for WoW Forever and keeps it up to date
ForeverWowCraft	Runs the official ForeverWowCraft Helper: sends auction prices, brings your profession routes into the game
TradeSkillMaster	Installs, updates and starts TSM's official Linux app

Turn on only the services you use. Already used the Windows Wowhead Client, WowUtils Bridge or ForeverWowCraft Helper in Wine? Hearthlink picks up its login and settings.

Install

Download the file for your system from the latest release and open it.

Your system	File
Any distribution (recommended)	Hearthlink-…-x86_64.flatpak
Fedora, openSUSE, Nobara, …	Hearthlink.x86_64.rpm
Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, Pop!_OS, …	Hearthlink.amd64.deb
Any distribution, without installing	Hearthlink-…-x86_64.AppImage

Install from the terminal, Arch Linux and other options

# Flatpak (needs Flathub once)
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists --user flathub https://dl.flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
flatpak install --user Hearthlink-*-x86_64.flatpak

# Fedora / openSUSE
sudo dnf install ./Hearthlink.x86_64.rpm

# Debian / Ubuntu
sudo apt install ./Hearthlink.amd64.deb

# AppImage
chmod +x Hearthlink-*.AppImage && ./Hearthlink-*.AppImage

# tar.gz, without root (installs to ~/.local)
tar xf hearthlink-*-x86_64.tar.gz && cd hearthlink-*-x86_64 && ./install.sh

Arch Linux: use the Flatpak, the AppImage or the tar.gz.

Getting started

1. Open Hearthlink. It finds World of Warcraft by itself in the usual places. If not, pick the folder under Settings.
2. Turn on your services and log in where a service asks for it.
3. Done. Hearthlink can start with your desktop and waits in the tray. Right-click the tray icon to upload right away, change notifications or open a service.

Updates

Hearthlink checks for new versions by itself and tells you when one is out. Click Install update; your settings and logins are kept. Nothing is installed without your click.

Questions

Which addons do I need?

Hearthlink installs and updates most of them for you: the Wowhead Looter, the ForeverDB addons and the ForeverWowCraft addons. Install the WowUtils addon (and RCLootCouncil, if you use it) with an addon manager like CurseForge, WowUp or the Wago App. Hearthlink shows a hint when one is missing.

Do I need Python?

Only for ForeverWowCraft, whose official helper is a Python program. The Flatpak brings Python along; the rpm and deb install it for you. Almost every distribution has it already.

The tray icon doesn't show up

GNOME needs the AppIndicator extension. Without a tray, closing the window only minimizes Hearthlink, so it keeps working.

Is this safe? What is sent?

Hearthlink sends the same data the official Windows apps send, to the same sites. For ForeverDB, ForeverWowCraft and TradeSkillMaster it runs the official apps themselves, downloaded from their makers and checked against their checksums.

wowaudit

I don't use wowaudit myself, so this part was built from how the wowaudit client works but isn't tested by me. If you use it, please tell me whether it works.

Uninstall

Flatpak: flatpak uninstall io.github.kushgene.Hearthlink · rpm: sudo dnf remove hearthlink · deb: sudo apt remove hearthlink · tar.gz: ./uninstall.sh · AppImage: delete the file. Settings and logins are in ~/.config/hearthlink and ~/.local/share/hearthlink (Flatpak: ~/.var/app/io.github.kushgene.Hearthlink).

Build from source

cargo build --release
./target/release/hearthlink

Packages are built by .github/workflows/release.yml when a v* tag is pushed.

Problems and wishes

Something doesn't work, or you'd like another uploader in Hearthlink? Open an issue. The Activity list on the service's page (copy button at its top right) and your distribution help a lot.
