lidlplus-ui 0.0.1

Desktop version of the Lidl Plus mobile app using my own implementation of the Lidl Plus api.

Lidl Plus on Desktop

A desktop UI for Lidl Plus, written in Python using GTK and libadwaita.

This is an unofficial project and is not affiliated with Lidl.

What you need

• Python 3 + pip
• Git
• Platform dependencies for GTK / libadwaita / PyGObject
• Playwright browser dependencies (macOS/Linux)

Installation

1) Clone the repository

Clone with submodules (required):

git clone --recurse-submodules --remote-submodules https://github.com/Zsobix/lidlplus-ui
cd lidlplus-ui

---

macOS / Linux setup

2) Install Python dependencies

pip install -r requirements.txt

3) Install Playwright browser(s)

playwright install

4) Install system packages

You must install PyGObject, GTK, and libadwaita for your distribution.

• See PyGObject’s official “Getting Started” guide: https://pygobject.gnome.org/getting_started.html

After that, you’re ready to run the app.

Windows setup (MSYS2)

2) Install GTK/libadwaita via pacman

Follow the Windows section of the PyGObject guide first: https://pygobject.gnome.org/getting_started.html

Then install libadwaita:

pacman -Sy mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-libadwaita

3) Install Python dependencies for Windows/MSYS2

pip install -r msys-requirements.txt

4) Playwright note (important)

Playwright does not work in MSYS2, so login works differently on Windows:

1. Run this script to obtain a refresh token:

   python getrefreshtoken.py
   

2. On the first login in the UI, enter the refresh token instead of email/password.

---

Running the app

python ui.py

Then:

1. Launch the app
2. Log in
3. Use Lidl Plus on your desktop
