About the project
Context for shader presets, without the guesswork.
ShaderScope is a local-first browser and Windows desktop utility for inspecting, repairing, comparing, organizing, and safely managing ReShade preset configuration.
Make configuration legible
Preset files can be hard to understand because technique names, package sources, parameters, and runtime requirements are split across several places. ShaderScope aims to assemble that context without pretending uncertainty is fact.
Show evidence and uncertainty
Matches, requirements, warnings, and performance categories should remain traceable and clearly distinguish known facts from likely conclusions.
Support more than one ecosystem
ReShade is the starting point. The architecture keeps parsing, normalization, analysis, and registry concerns separate so GShade, vkBasalt, Special K, and other systems can be considered later.
Respect the surrounding projects
ShaderScope will not redistribute third-party shader files or binaries. It is an independent tool, not an official ReShade product or an endorsement by package creators.
What exists today
Phases 1–9 provide source-aware analysis and an explicit-save IndexedDB workspace. Phases 10A–10D add a locally bundled Windows shell, explicit installation scanning, immutable plans and app-data backups, verified journaled Apply/rollback/recovery, and explicit signature-required updates. There is no account, cloud sync, or telemetry.
ShaderScope is an independent community tool and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the ReShade project. No third-party binaries are distributed by this project.
