VALORANT · League of Legends · Legends of Runeterra · Riot Client

Switch Riot accounts in a couple of clicks — no passwords typed into V-Shift, no multi-platform clutter. Save the active Riot Client session, restore it later, and get back into VALORANT or League without re-entering credentials every time.

Why V-Shift?

Riot Client keeps one logged-in session at a time. If you juggle smurfs, alts, a coaching account, or a shared PC, that usually means signing out and typing passwords again.

V-Shift copies the session files Riot already stores on your machine into %AppData%\V-Shift, then puts the right set back when you pick an account. You stay in control of your credentials; the app only moves files you already have locally.

Passwords	Never requested or stored by V-Shift
Model	Local session swap (save → restore)
Focus	Riot Games only (VALORANT, LoL, LoR, Riot Client)
Stack	Wails v3 + Go + Svelte

---

Features

• One-click swap — save the current Riot session; switch back instantly later
• Riot-first UI — opens on the Riot account list (no multi-platform home screen)
• Game shortcuts — pin VALORANT / League / LoR launches from the action bar
• Themes & system tray — keep the switcher nearby without cluttering the desktop
• CLI tokens — r, riot, or riotgames for shortcuts and scripts
• Installed or portable — installer (V-Shift Setup.exe) or a self-contained folder layout
• Local-first data — settings and saved sessions live under %AppData%\V-Shift by default

How it works

┌─────────────────┐     Save current      ┌──────────────────────┐
│  Riot Client    │ ───────────────────►  │  %AppData%\V-Shift   │
│  (active login) │                       │  (session snapshot)  │
└─────────────────┘                       └──────────────────────┘
         ▲                                          │
         │              Login / switch              │
         └──────────────────────────────────────────┘

1. Sign into Riot Client with the account you want to keep.
2. In V-Shift, choose Save current — the app snapshots the session files Riot uses.
3. When you need that account again, select it and Login — V-Shift restores those files and relaunches Riot Client.

Nothing is uploaded as part of a normal switch. Optional network features (updates, anonymous stats, crash reports) are controlled in settings; see PRIVACY.md.

Automatic updates (GitHub Releases)

V-Shift checks Nanda070/V-Shift for newer versions (startup + Check for updates). It does not use the old tcno.co / TCNOco Acc-Switcher update APIs.

Tag / version scheme

1. Set info.version in build/config.yml (semver, e.g. 5.0.1).
2. Create an annotated git tag matching that version with a v prefix: v5.0.1.
3. Publish a GitHub Release for that tag (CI on v* tags, or gh release create).

The updater compares the running app version to the release tag (leading v stripped).

Required release assets (Windows amd64)

Asset	Purpose
V-Shift.exe	Portable binary the in-app updater downloads
SHA256SUMS	Checksums (line: <sha256> V-Shift.exe)
V-Shift.exe.sig2	Optional Ed25519 signature (CI with UPDATER_KEY)
V-Shift Setup.exe / V-Shift Installer.exe	Manual installer for users
V-Shift-Portable.zip	Manual portable zip

Without V-Shift.exe (+ checksums), Check for updates cannot install automatically even if a newer tag exists.

---

Installation

Setup installer (recommended)

1. Open Releases and download V-Shift Setup.exe
   (after packaging locally it is typically produced at dist\V-Shift Setup.exe).
2. Run the installer. The WebView2 runtime is bootstrapped if it is missing.
3. Launch V-Shift from the Start Menu or desktop shortcut.

Portable

1. Build or obtain V-Shift.exe (or download V-Shift-Portable.zip from packaging / Releases).
2. Ensure a sibling V-Shift\ data folder next to the exe before the first run, or enable Settings → Portable Mode, or use the portable zip (it already includes that folder).
3. Run V-Shift.exe — no system-wide install required.

Tip: Prefer the installer if you want Start Menu entries, uninstaller metadata, and a standard %AppData%\V-Shift data path.

---

Usage

GUI

1. Start Riot Client and sign in with the account you want to save.
2. Open V-Shift → Save current.
3. Later: select the account → Login. Riot Client reopens on that session.
4. Repeat for each account you use on this PC.

Everyday tips

• Close or let V-Shift close Riot Client cleanly before a switch so session files are not locked.
• Give each saved account a clear display name so alts are easy to tell apart.

Command line

Short platform codes for Riot:

V-Shift.exe r
V-Shift.exe riot
V-Shift.exe riotgames

Examples:

# Open the Riot flow
.\V-Shift.exe riot

# See the full flag set
.\V-Shift.exe --help

CLI behaviour mirrors the upstream switcher’s argument style; Riot is the supported platform surface in this fork.
