Your VRChat friends,
live on your desktop.
Nexus is a fast, modern companion for Windows. See where every friend is the moment it changes, join them in one click, and keep a private history of every world and every encounter.

Everything you'd open the VRChat website for.
And a lot it can't do.
Nexus runs next to VRChat. It listens to VRChat's live connection for friend updates and reads VRChat's own log files, so it knows which worlds you visit and who you meet.
Rich profiles
Time together, encounters, mutuals, what they've worn, and a private memo. Mute, hide, block or unfriend in one click.
Feed & Game Log
A searchable history of every change, and every world visit with who was there and for how long. Works even when VRChat's API doesn't.
Insights
Hours played per day, a when-you-play heatmap, your top worlds and the friends you spend the most time with.
Group owner tools
Announcements, open and close instances, join requests, roles, kicks and bans. Edit the icon, banner and rules.
Notifications
Invites, friend requests and boops, with Accept, Join and Boop back. Windows alerts for exactly what you care about.
Discord status, worlds, avatars & more
Show the world you're in on Discord (off until you turn it on). Browse worlds and instances, switch avatars, manage your inventory, Ctrl + K to jump anywhere, dark, OLED and light themes, multiple accounts, CSV export.
Take the tour.
Real screens from Nexus's built-in demo account. Names and pictures are made up.
Nothing leaves your PC.
Nexus has no servers of its own. Your feed, game log, memos and stats are stored encrypted on your computer. It talks to VRChat, and to nothing else unless you turn it on.
- No accounts, no analytics, no cloud
- Encrypted local history
- Integrations off until you enable them
- Open source, every line readable
Gentle on VRChat
Every request is paced so your account isn't rate limited. What you click goes first, then what you're looking at, and background work uses what's left.
Signed updates
Nexus checks GitHub for new releases and verifies each one against its built-in public key. Anything that doesn't match is refused.
Moving from VRCX
Settings → Data → Import from VRCX brings over your feed, game log, “friends since” dates and memos. Only history from before Nexus started recording is imported, so nothing is doubled.
Up and running in a minute.

“Windows protected your PC”? The installer isn't signed with a paid certificate yet, so SmartScreen may warn the first time. Click More info, then Run anyway. Updates are still cryptographically signed and checked by Nexus itself.
