They are interchangeable, and you can switch from one client to the other at any point in time by simply copying the UserData folder. Consider using the Native Client if you're interested in these features

  • Native app experience without the need of a browser

Installation on Windows​

Download IconNative Updater (win-x64)Download Icon
  
Download IconDesktop Runtime (win-x64)Download Icon

Move the updater to a new empty folder, then double-click it to run it.

Warning

Windows Defender might block the updater from running. If this happens, click on More info and then on Run anyway. The updater is automatically built through a GitHub Actions pipeline. If for any reason you don't trust it, you can also compile it yourself from the source code.

Info

You could also directly download OpenBullet2.Native.zip, but the updater is recommended since it can be used to easily update your installation in the future.

If you don't have the latest .NET Desktop Runtime installed on your system, the updater will prompt you to install it. This is required to run OpenBullet 2 (Native).

Once the updater is done downloading the latest version of OpenBullet 2, double-click OpenBullet2.Native.exe to start it. You should now see the application window.
