What it looks like

The mod catalog inside the app
The catalog: every mod in the community collection, sorted the way its authors sorted it.

What you get

One click in, one click out

The app downloads the mod, puts it in a free pak slot and cleans up after itself. No copying files, no renaming pak51_dir.vpk by hand.

Switch off, do not delete

Turn a mod off before a match and back on after. Your library stays, the game folder stays clean.

Cosmetics you already own

Weather, couriers, wards, loading screens, announcers, mega-kills. Read from the game's own item table, so anything Valve adds shows up by itself.

It tells you when mods collide

Two mods that carry the same file cannot both win. The app says which one the game is loading and lets you swap the order.

Setups by link

Save the mods you run as a preset and send it in one message. The other side opens it and gets the same look.

It survives Dota patches

After a game update the app puts back what the patch wiped, and it writes to the game folder as one transaction - if anything fails, everything goes back.

Try the part people get wrong

Two mods carrying the same file cannot both win. The game loads the one in the lower pak slot. Switch these on and off, drag them into another order, and watch which one the game takes.

    In the game folder

      The app shows you this for your real mods, and lets you change the order from the same screen.

      Why you can check this one

      It is a program that writes into your game folder, downloaded from the internet. That deserves suspicion. Here is what can be verified instead of trusted.

      • Open source, GPL-3.0 Every line is in the repository. Not "source available on request" - readable right now.
      • Built by GitHub Actions Releases are built from that source by a public workflow, not uploaded from somebody's desktop.
      • 27 releases, 17,500+ downloads It has been in the open since long before you found it, and the whole history is there.
      • No account, no telemetry Signing in is optional and only puts your name on a setup you share. Nothing is collected.

      Windows will warn you, and here is why

      The installer is not signed with a paid certificate, so SmartScreen says "unknown publisher". Click More info, then Run anyway. A certificate costs a few hundred dollars a year, and this is free software; the free programme for open-source projects turned the application down for not being famous enough yet.

      Questions

      Is this a cheat?

      No. The mods change how things look on your screen only. Nobody else in the match sees them.

      Will I get banned?

      Nobody can promise anything here: these are client-side mods, and you run them at your own risk, same as any other Dota mod. The app never touches your account, and there is no login unless you want your name on a shared setup.

      My antivirus said something.

      It happens to unsigned installers with no reputation yet. Microsoft reviewed one such report about this app in August 2026 and removed the detection. If yours complains, the file you downloaded is built in the open by GitHub Actions and you can check the workflow that made it.

      How do I remove a mod?

      Delete it in My mods and the game goes back to how it was. Fonts and cursors are restored from the backup the app made before installing.

      Where do the mods come from?

      The Dota2PornFx catalog. The app reads it directly, so new mods appear without an app update.

      Does it work after a Dota update?

      Yes. After a game patch the app puts back what the update wiped, and warns you when something needs attention.

      Get it

      Windows 10 or 11. No account. It updates itself from here on.
