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.

• 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.
