The SoulLock desktop app is a free Windows companion for Deadlock. It runs alongside the game and adds the things a website cannot do on its own: timers tied to your match clock, match tracking that does not wait on third-party ingestion, and queue alerts that start from your own PC.
The app reads Deadlock's console log and Steam's local cache. While Deadlock shows you in a matchmaking queue, it also reads the game's memory once a second to check one thing: whether the game is warning that it is about to remove you from the queue for being idle. That check runs whether or not the Live Game Reader is on.
The Live Game Reader is off until you turn it on. When it is on, it reads the match clock, the objectives, and each player's hero, rank, items and ability cooldowns. It never reads any player's position, health or souls. Some of what it shows is not on the game's own interface at that moment, such as an Unstable Rift about 20 seconds before the game announces it.
Every memory read is read-only: the app never writes to the game's memory, injects code or modifies the game. It does not play the game for you.
What stays on your PC, what the app changes, and what is saved to your account are set out in the Privacy Policy.
Requires 64-bit Windows. Deadlock is Windows-native; there is no macOS build.
The Desktop App is free and provided as is, with no warranty of any kind. You download, install and use it, and every feature and setting in it, entirely at your own risk. That covers the Live Game Reader, the queue idle check, the "Move my mouse" choice for Deadlock's AFK warning, the "Keep me in queue" link in idle alerts and any action Valve takes against your Steam or Deadlock account. The AFK warning setting is "Notify me" until you choose, and "Move my mouse" when you set up queue alerts. With "Move my mouse" and Deadlock's idle warning showing, the app puts the cursor near the middle of the Deadlock window and moves it a short way, and if Deadlock is behind another window or minimized and nobody has used the PC for 20 seconds, it first brings Deadlock to the front, pressing Alt once if Windows needs it. If you are using another window, it brings Deadlock forward only for a moment, in a pause in your typing, and then gives your window back. If the warning stays up it tries again, tapping Alt from the fourth try. That is automated input. With "Notify me" and queue alerts on, idle alerts include a "Keep me in queue" link. Opening it asks the app to bring Deadlock to the front, pressing Alt once if Windows needs it, and make the same movement. That is automated keyboard and mouse input, and Valve's Steam Subscriber Agreement restricts automation. To the fullest extent the law allows, SoulLock is not liable for any loss or damage that comes from using the app. Details are in the Terms of Service.
By downloading or installing the Desktop App you agree to the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. The app also asks you to accept them the first time you open it.
