Dozy 🐑

The ultimate automated build & packaging tool for Unreal Engine Plugins

Stop fighting with batch scripts. Start shipping your plugins faster.

🌟 The Problem it Solves

Shipping a plugin to the Unreal Engine Marketplace or Fab requires building your code against every supported engine version individually, extracting the correct files, and zipping them up perfectly. Historically, this meant maintaining fragile batch scripts or running the RunUAT command line tool manually over and over.

Dozy is a cross-platform desktop application that automates this entire pipeline. Drag and drop your .uplugin, select your target engines, and click Build. Dozy handles the rest.

✨ Core Features

🛠️ Multi-Version Compilation Instantly build your plugin against multiple Unreal Engine versions simultaneously. Dozy automatically detects all engine installations (Launcher & Source builds) on your system.	📦 Fab-Ready Packaging Dozy runs the official Unreal Automation Tool (UAT) HostProject step, strips unnecessary intermediate files, and automatically creates a `.zip` structured exactly how Epic Games requires.
🛡️ Defender Auto-Whitelisting UnrealBuildTool dynamically generates code that Windows Defender Smart App Control frequently flags and kills. Dozy seamlessly adds your output directories to Defender's exclusion list for uninterrupted builds.	🎨 Beautiful, Responsive UI Built with React, Tailwind CSS, and shadcn/ui. Enjoy a modern, sleek dark-mode interface with smooth animations and live build logs.
