Foxy is a desktop application for keeping Arma 3 game mod repositories up to date. Arma 3 is a military simulator with a large modding community, and players typically use a separate tool called a repository updater to download and sync the mods their game server requires. Foxy is a modern replacement for older tools in that role, built to be faster and more reliable. The application ships as a single file that works both as a desktop app with a graphical interface and as a command-line tool for scripting. It runs on Windows and Linux. When you open Foxy, you can manage multiple mod repositories, see which files are out of date, and download only the parts that have changed rather than entire files from scratch. This delta-download approach saves bandwidth when mod packs receive small updates. For day-to-day use, Foxy shows per-mod download progress, transfer speed graphs, and notifications when syncs complete. You can set up multiple profiles for different server configurations, manage optional mods, and even set Foxy to shut down your computer after a large download finishes overnight. It also checks Steam and TeamSpeak installations before launching Arma 3, and supports quick-joining a specific server with the right mods loaded. For server administrators and community organizers, Foxy includes a companion tool for generating repository metadata and update manifests. The app can migrate users from Swifty, the previous popular updater, without losing their saved repositories. The interface is available in over 40 languages. The project is built in Rust and uses an embedded SQLite-compatible database for storing state. Pre-built installers are available for Windows and Linux. Future plans include support for Arma Reforger and other games beyond the Arma series.
