Best open-source game library managers and frameworks (2026)

Game library tools either gather games from storefronts and emulators into one launcher, or give developers code libraries for building games. Launchers differ on which sources they cover and whether they run locally or self-hosted, while code libraries differ on language and target platforms. Playnite unifies Steam, Epic, GOG and other stores in one desktop interface, Gameyfin scans local folders into a self-hosted web library, and karl2d offers a beginner-friendly 2D API for Odin across Windows, Linux, Mac and the web.
