Overview

Retrom is a centralized game library management service that allows you to host your games on a single device, and connect clients on any amount of other devices to (un)install/download and play them when and where you want to! Think of it as a sort of self-hosted Steam for your DRM-free game library.

Core Features

• Host your own cloud game library service
• Scan your filesystem for games/platforms and automatically add them to your library
• Install/uninstall and play games from the service on any amount of desktop clients.
• Support for Windows, MacOS, and Linux!
• Access your library from anywhere with the web client.
• Unify your emulation library with third party libraries
• Steam
• GoG (soon™)
• Native PC / Linux / MacOS games (experimental)
• Manage emulator profiles on a per-client basis, stored on the server for easily sharing configurations between devices or restoring them after a reinstall.
• Launch all your games across any amount of emulators or platforms via your pre-configured profiles from a single library interface.
• Automatically download game metadata and artworks from supported providers to showcase your library with style!
