The desktop application and this documentation site are maintained in separate repositories.

Reporting bugs

Open an issue on GitHub with:

• Your OS, desktop session (Wayland or X11), GPU, and driver version
• The exact steps to reproduce
• Any relevant log output from the application’s data/logs/ directory.

On packaged Linux builds, the log directory is under ~/.config/vapourkit-gui/data/logs/ by default. Include your Linux distribution, kernel, Python version, FFmpeg version, and vulkaninfo --summary output when reporting a Linux-specific issue.

Pull requests

PRs are welcome on GitHub. For non-trivial changes, open an issue or post in the Discord first so we can discuss approach.

Filter templates

If you’ve made a useful filter template you’d like to share, drop the .vkfilter file into the Discord or open a PR to add it to the bundled set in include/plugins/plugin_filters/.
