Questions

We built Merlin with care for your safety and security. It runs on a current release of Electron, the framework behind apps like Discord and VS Code, and we update it as security fixes come out. Merlin's window is walled off from the rest of your computer, so it can't reach your other files or programs on its own. It opens only secure (https) web links, and it never asks for your microphone or camera.

Merlin connects only to Dragon's Gate, over an encrypted connection, and to merlinclient.com to check for updates. Updates download only when you choose. Your scripts, settings and logs stay on your computer, in Merlin's own folder, and nothing is sent to us.

You can also scan the installer with your own antivirus software and AI before running it. We recommend this for any unsigned software you download.

The beta isn't code-signed yet, so Windows can't confirm who made it, and it warns you when you open the installer.

No. Nothing from the login exchange is written to any log, and Merlin never stores your password. The password field is masked while you type, and Merlin reaches Dragon's Gate over an encrypted connection.

Dragon's Gate offers two-factor authentication. Turn it on from the game's account menu, under Manage Account, and you'll enter a code from an authenticator app each time you log in.

Tell us on Discord. Say what you were doing, what you expected to happen, and which system you're on. Screenshots help.
