The strategy board that actually flies.
Icarus is a free, open-source strategy board for VALORANT — local-first, fast, and honestly just nice to use every day.
why icarus
Fast
Native desktop, 60fps canvas. The pen draws the second you do — you feel the board, not the software.
Free
MIT-licensed, no accounts, no premium tier. The best one happens to cost nothing.
Yours
Local-first. Your playbook lives on your machine, not on somebody's server.
the agent bar
Agents at your side.
Not under your canvas.
Every other board buries agents in a bottom tray. Icarus mounts them on the side of the map, so you grab, drop, and swap agents without breaking your drawing flow. Right-click any agent for its full ability list — the abilities live on the map too.
local-first
Yours, even offline.
No accounts. No servers. The playbook lives on your machine and works anywhere — offline, on LAN, on tournament wifi. And nothing is locked in: export any strategy as a file and hand it straight to a friend.
