salichess

An unofficial Lichess client for Sailfish OS, written in C++/Qt 5 with a native Silica user interface.

Almost entirely generated by LLM, so expect bugs.

Features

• Log in with Lichess: OAuth with PKCE. You sign in on lichess.org in the browser, so the app never sees your password.
• Play with friends
  • Challenge a player you follow, or any username, with real-time (blitz and slower) or correspondence time controls, choice of colour, rated or casual.
  • Accept or decline incoming challenges. Sent challenges stay open while you use the rest of the app, and the game opens when your friend accepts.
  • Play your ongoing games: animated board with drag or tap-to-move, clocks (for correspondence, the time left for the current move), move list and history, draw and takeback offers, resign, abort, claim victory, and in-game chat.
• Play with random opponents: Lichess' quick-pairing time controls, a custom clock or a correspondence seek (the Board API allows rapid and slower), rated or casual, with a rating range and choice of colour. A seek stays open while you use the rest of the app, and the game opens when an opponent is found. Correspondence seeks can only be withdrawn on lichess.org.
• Puzzles: the daily puzzle, a healthy mix, or around 60 themes (forks, mates in N, endgames, …). Choose a difficulty, get a two-step hint, or view the solution. Results count towards your Lichess puzzle rating when you are logged in.
• Sailfish integration:
  • Notifications for new challenges and for "your turn" in correspondence games, while the app runs.
  • The cover shows the current game or whose move it is.
  • Optionally keeps the screen on during games.
  • Board themes, including one that follows the ambience.
