You may provide translations for the application to see it running in your own language. Please follow these steps:
Let's say, we're adding French (fr
) translation.
- Fork the repository & navigate here.
- Create a new file named
app_fr.arb
. - Add your translations to your new
app_fr.arb
file in correspondence to existing English translations. - Send us a new pull-request. 🎉
When adding new strings, run bin/l10n_organizer.dart
. This script will ensure that the new strings are added to all l10n files and that they are in the same location. It will also remove any unused strings. The base file is app_en.arb
, so all strings must be added there first.
Note that the app is constantly changing and new strings are added all the time. The translations need to be updated constantly.
The code uses Provider for state-management because it is widely known by Flutter community, doesn't bring any unnecessary complexity to the codebase & is scalable/stable enough.
Most ChangeNotifier
s are available as singletons, though de-coupled from each other. This is important to handle things like loading app configuration before runApp
, handling background notification button actions & few other asynchronous operations performed outside the widget tree. By having singletons, we are able to avoid a strict dependency on the BuildContext
& do certain things in a more performant way.

The build process is pretty straight-forward. You need to have Flutter installed on your system.
git clone https://github.com/bluecherrydvr/unity
cd unity
flutter pub get
flutter build [linux|windows|macos|android|ios]
The automated build process is done using GitHub Actions. You may find the workflow here. The workflow builds the app for all supported platforms & uploads the artifacts to the release page.
On Linux, a Flutter executable with different environment variables is used to build the app for different distributions. This tells the app how the system is configured and how it should install updates. To run for Linux, you need to provide the following environment variables based on your system, where [DISTRO_ENV]
can be appimage
(AppImage), deb
(Debian), rpm
(RedHat), tar.gz
(Tarball) or pi
(Raspberry Pi).
flutter run -d linux --dart-define-from-file=linux/env/[DISTRO_ENV].json
When running on debug, you must disable the CORS policy in your browser. Note that this is only for debugging purposes and should not be used in production. To do this, run the following command:
flutter run -d chrome --web-browser-flag "--disable-web-security"
