The Olymps Companion 0.5.0 — The App That Follows Your League Client

An app with tabs asks you to click. Your League client already knows what you are doing — it knows you are in a lobby, in champion select, in a game, at the end screen. So the 0.5.0 Companion stops asking. It reads the client and shows up where you are, with one thing to do, then gets out of the way.

This is what "six moments" means in practice, moment by moment, with the honest edges: what the app shows, what it never shows, and what it refuses to do.

Six moments, no tabs

| Moment | When the client is… | What you get | | --- | --- | --- | | Home | At the lobby | Your last verdict, tonight's bracket, friends online, the Olympian | | The Draft | In an Olymps, Clash or custom champ select | The Eye, docked beside the client: the other side, read | | The Game | In game | Silence — one strip for Olymps matches, the loading board | | The Horn | The second the game ends | Your grade, counted up from zero | | The Bracket | Registered or live in a bracket | Autopilot, visible as a contract, JOIN LOBBY in one click | | The Night | Closed after a session | Your recap, shareable as a card |

Nobody clicks a tab by necessity. The drawers (Career, History, Live, Store, Settings) exist for when you want them — the moments come to you.

Home

Client open, nothing happening yet. Home shows your last verdict in the hero — the grade, the promise you set, whether you kept it — tonight's bracket if you have one, your friends online as opponents you can challenge, and the Olympian's line. One gold action per screen: the thing to do next, never a menu.

The Draft — the Eye

Enter champion select in an Olymps match, a Clash game or a custom, and a slim pane docks beside your client. It reads the other side from their own recent games in seconds: the danger (the player their game runs through), the duo (who they play with), the tilt (who is on a losing streak), and three orders — ban, give, tempo. It leaves at lock-in.

Two lines the Eye never crosses:

• Ranked stays dark. Ranked champion select is anonymous by design. The Eye does not read it, and we do not go around that.
• It is symmetric. In an Olymps match, the other team can run the same Companion and get the same read on you, for free. Nothing about the Eye is sold, so nothing about it is an edge you paid for.

In game — silence

The app goes quiet. It will not show you a tip, a build, a timer for their flash. If you are in an Olymps match, one strip on the screen keeps your event, the win condition and the CS race in view — and the loading screen shows the board of the ten players. Never the lobby code, never advice. The game is yours.

The Horn

The second the game ends, before you close the scoreboard, a twelve-second takeover: your grade counts up from zero, the promise you set is kept or missed, your worst minute is named. The written review — what actually cost the game, from the timeline — is one click away. If League is still in front, a small card lands by the tray instead of taking the screen.

This is the same grade as the web Coach, delivered at the horn instead of the next time you open a page.

The Bracket — Autopilot

Registered in a bracket, the Companion arms four switches and shows them as a contract: check-in, lobby, ready-check, result. When your match code drops, the app enters the right custom game with the official Riot tournament code. JOIN LOBBY is one click, and the code itself is never shown — not on screen, not in an overlay, not in a log. If someone streams over your shoulder, they see a button, not a code.

Miss nothing: the tray icon tells the truth at a glance — linked to League, a moment waiting, or Olymps offline.

The Night

Close the client after a session and the recap is waiting: games played, wins and losses, the trend of your grades, the LP road that moved — the line only a resident app can draw, because it watched every game — and tomorrow's rendez-vous if you have a bracket. Share it as a card, or close it and sleep.

The rest of the machine

• ON STREAM. One toggle: codes and chat previews vanish from the screen, and the OBS browser-source URL for your match ceremony is one click away.
• The Live drawer. Once both teams of a tournament match are in the lobby, WATCH seats you as a spectator in your own client — with Riot's standard delay, about three minutes.
• The Olympian. The same Guardian as the web, with your client as context: it knows you just finished a game or are sitting in a lobby, and lines the next action up accordingly.
• The Scout Desk. Read any Riot ID from the app; the deep read opens in the Target Room.

What it never does

• It never shows a lobby code. Anywhere.
• It never gives a tip during a game.
• It never reads a ranked champion select.
• It never sees your password: you sign in through official Riot sign-in, and the app remembers the session.
• It never does something for you that it did not show you first. Autopilot is four switches you can see.

Install, then forget it exists

1. Install and sign in with Riot. The installer is code-signed and updates itself. About 90 MB, Windows 10 and 11.
2. Leave it in the tray. It starts hidden with Windows if you let it, and only shows up when a moment calls for it.
3. Play. The six moments follow your client.

If Windows shows a blue "protected your PC" screen the first time, that is SmartScreen building reputation on a newer certificate — click "More info", then "Run anyway". The installer is signed; the screen is a popularity meter, not a virus signal.

Download the Companion — free, no tier, no trial. Every feature above is in the shipped 0.5.0, and the download page shows real captures of it.

FAQ

Do I need the Companion to play on Olymps?

No. Everything works on the web: registration, check-in, lobby codes, results, the Coach. The Companion removes the clicks and adds what only a resident app can do — the Eye in draft, the Horn at the end of the game, the LP road, spectate in your own client.

Does it give me an advantage over players who don't run it?

Not one you paid for. The Eye is free and works for both sides of an Olymps match; results are read from the Riot API for everyone; the code is delivered to every player. It saves you the clicks, not the game.

Does it work on Mac?

Not today — the Companion is Windows 10 and 11. The web app works everywhere.

Is it the same grade as the web Coach?

Yes. The Horn shows the grade the Coach computes from the game's timeline; the written review is the same review. The Companion only delivers it earlier.
