Visit Playnite

Playnite is an open-source video game library manager that brings games from multiple storefronts and services into one interface. It links titles from Steam, Epic, Origin, GOG, Battle.net, Ubisoft Connect and other services, including games that are not installed, and supports a wide variety of console emulators. In-game playtime is tracked for any game, including emulated titles, while library data is stored locally on the PC rather than on remote servers.

The interface can be customized through themes, from color changes to complete layout redesigns, and extended with plugins and script extensions. A fullscreen mode with full controller support is available, and Playnite can run from portable storage without installing system dependencies. Metadata such as covers and descriptions can be downloaded automatically through the IGDB integration, including for custom games. Playnite is free, with no features behind a paywall, and its source code is available under the MIT license.
