+# HTTP Toolkit Patcher
+
+A minimal, cross-platform patcher for HTTP Toolkit that removes subscription requirements.
+
+![WindowsTerminal_BsiVsdyUoj](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/f21dda33-9334-4b6d-b8ae-6cd51937b3cd)
+
+## Why?
+
+I don't feel like paying a **monthly subscription** for an HTTP proxy/interceptor. A lifetime license? Sure. But subscription-based for a dev tool? No thanks.
+
+## How It Works
+
+The patcher intercepts HTTP Toolkit's authentication functions:
+- `isPaidUser`
+- `isLoggedIn`
+- `userHasSubscription`
+- `userEmail`
+- `mightBePaidUser`
+- `isPastDueUser`
+
+By hooking these functions, we bypass the subscription checks entirely.
+
+### Can They Fix It?
+
+Yes, but they most likely won't. Fixing this would require changing their entire codebase architecture. And if they do? I'll just update the patcher.
+
+## Installation
+
+1. Install dependencies:
+```bash
+npm install
+```
+
+## Building
+
+Build standalone executables for all platforms and architectures:
+
+```bash
+npm run build
+```
+
+This creates self-contained executables in the `dist/` directory:
+
+**Windows:**
+- `httptoolkit-patcher-win-x64.exe` (64-bit)
+
+**Linux:**
+- `httptoolkit-patcher-linux-x64` (x86_64/AMD64)
+- `httptoolkit-patcher-linux-arm64` (ARM64/AArch64)
+
+**macOS:**
+- `httptoolkit-patcher-macos-x64` (Intel)
+- `httptoolkit-patcher-macos-arm64` (Apple Silicon M Chip)
+
+**Note:** These are standalone executables created with `pkg` that include Node.js runtime and all dependencies. No need to install Node.js separately!
+
+## Usage
+
+### From Source
+
+**Patch:**
+```bash
+npm start
+```
+
+**Unpatch:**
+```bash
+npm run unpatch
+```
+
+### Using Prebuilt Executables
+
+Download the appropriate executable for your platform from [Releases](https://github.com/xenos1337/httptoolkit-patcher/releases), then:
+
+**Windows:**
+```cmd
+httptoolkit-patcher-win-x64.exe
+```
+
+**Linux/macOS:**
+```bash
+chmod +x httptoolkit-patcher-linux-x64  # or your architecture
+./httptoolkit-patcher-linux-x64
+```
+
+That's it. The patcher handles everything automatically.
+
+## Technical Details
+
+1. Finds HTTP Toolkit installation
+2. Kills running processes
+3. Requests elevation if needed
+4. Backs up `app.asar`
+5. Extracts and patches `preload.js`
+6. Repackages and launches
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+**Permission errors?** Run as admin/sudo or let the patcher request elevation.
+
+**Already patched?** The patcher will ask if you want to repatch.
+
+**Want to restore?** Run `npm run unpatch` to restore from backup.
+
+**Anything else?** Open an issue on the [GitHub repository](https://github.com/xenos1337/httptoolkit-patcher/issues).
+
+## GitHub Release Workflow
+
+This project includes an automated GitHub Actions workflow that builds and releases the patcher for all platforms.
+
+### Creating a Release
+
+1. Create and push a version tag:
+```bash
+git tag v2.0.1
+git push origin v2.0.1
+```
+
+2. The GitHub Actions workflow will automatically:
+   - Build for all platforms and architectures (Windows x64, Linux x64/ARM64, macOS Intel/Apple Silicon)
+   - Create standalone native executables using pkg
+   - Create a GitHub release with all binaries as downloadable artifacts
+
+### Manual Workflow Trigger
+
+You can also manually trigger the release workflow from the GitHub Actions tab.
